A new formal and analytical process to product modeling (PPM) method and its application to the precast concrete industry

2004-11-08 , Lee, Ghang

The current standard product (data) modeling process relies on the experience and subjectivity of data modelers who use their experience to eliminate redundancies and identify omissions. As a result, product modeling becomes a social activity that involves iterative review processes of committees. This study aims to develop a new, formal method for deriving product models from data collected in process models of companies within an industry sector. The theoretical goals of this study are to provide a scientific foundation to bridge the requirements collection phase and the logical modeling phase of product modeling and to formalize the derivation and normalization of a product model from the processes it supports. To achieve these goals, a new and formal method, Georgia Tech Process to Product Modeling (GTPPM), has been proposed. GTPPM consists of two modules. The first module is called the Requirements Collection and Modeling (RCM) module. It provides semantics and a mechanism to define a process model, information items used by each activity, and information flow between activities. The logic to dynamically check the consistency of information flow within a process also has been developed. The second module is called the Logical Product Modeling (LPM) module. It integrates, decomposes, and normalizes information constructs collected from a process model into a preliminary product model. Nine design patterns are defined to resolve conflicts between information constructs (ICs) and to normalize the resultant model. These two modules have been implemented as a Microsoft Visio ™ add-on. The tool has been registered and is also called GTPPM ™. The method has been tested and evaluated in the precast concrete sector of the construction industry through several GTPPM modeling efforts. By using GTPPM, a complete set of information items required for product modeling for a medium or a large industry can be collected without generalizing each company's unique process into one unified high-level model. However, the use of GTPPM is not limited to product modeling. It can be deployed in several other areas including: workflow management system or MIS (Management Information System) development software specification development business process re-engineering.

Projects in Chattahoochee Hill, Atlanta, Georgia

2004 , Dagenhart, Richard

An urban design studio in a rapidly developing suburban area of Atlanta, addressing the challenges of sustainable development. Several sites were chosen, varying from ecologically sensitive riverfronts to former farms on plateau’s surrounded by stream tributaries to the river, to sites located on the newly built Chattahoochee Parkway.

Identifying Relevant Variables for Understanding How School Facilities Affect Educational Outcomes

2004-01-07 , Bosch, Sheila Jones

Many school facilities in the United States are old, out-of-date, poorly maintained, and lack specific design elements that are likely to enhance teaching, learning, behavior, and other desirable outcomes. This study proposed that one reason why previous research regarding the effects of the physical school environment on educational outcomes has had little impact on the quality of schools is because there is a lack of knowledge about these relationships. A multi-method approach was used to solicit information from educators and researchers familiar with school facility effects literature to develop a set of research priorities to guide future research. In Phase I, a literature analysis provided important physical and outcome variables to seed brainstorming lists used in following phases of the research and provided the basis for a gap analysis to identify unavailable information. A concept mapping methodology was utilized in Phase II to solicit feedback from a group of seventeen experienced educators who were asked to brainstorm a list of measures of student, school, or school district success, sort their final list of more than 100 items into categories that made sense to them, and rate each item regarding how important it is to monitor or otherwise track. Using a Delphi method, a series of four questionnaires was given to a group of experienced researchers who developed a list of physical variables plausibly related to educational outcomes, rated the importance of those items, developed hypotheses that included top-rated physical variables and top-rated outcome variables (i.e., measures of success rated by educators), and then selected from those hypotheses several that became the basis of the recommended research priorities for the field. These research priorities propose investigations of the relationships between a set of physical variables (including the provision of team work stations and faculty collaborative spaces, well-designed circulation spaces, spaces for quiet reflection, adaptable seating, daylighting in classrooms, and overall maintenance and building quality) and a variety of educational outcomes (e.g., achievement, behavior, satisfaction, affective performance).

Growth Management, Samboronden, Ecuador

2004 , Gamble, Michael , Roark, H. Randal

The Canton of Samborondon, over the past nine months, has undertaken a planning process to determine the course of growth over the next 25 - 35 years in this rapidly growing Canton adjacent to Ecuador’s largest city, Guayaquil. With growth in the Canton expected to triple in this period (from about 60,000 to 180,000 persons), and with significant changes occurring in land and construction costs, demographics and the broadening market for new development, the already high stress on existing Canton infrastructure and services, and on the rich rice growing areas of the Canton and the traditional culture it supports, will become even more critical. Wishing to create a plan for orderly growth and provision of services with the participation of landowners, citizens and public officials, the Canton has produced this strategic framework for growth that can be used to guide land use policies, capital investments, and development ordinances. This plan was prepared with the assistance of The Georgia Tech College of Architecture in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, and the School of Architecture at the Universidad Especialidades Espiritu Santo (UEES), in Samborondon. In the fall of 2003 faculty and students from the UEES collected, mapped and analyzed relevant data with the assistance of both landowners and Canton officials. This work is presented in a separate document, and is available in the canton City Hall. During the spring of 2004 a series of planning workshops with Canton officials and stakeholders were held to facilitate a consensus on the main elements of the plan and the means to implement it. This also included a weeklong series of intensive sessions with planning and architecture students from Georgia Tech and UEES to help formulate and visualize the impact of growth in the Canton. It is our hope that the recommended policies contained in the plan will be adopted by the Canton and become the guide for future growth in the Canton to the benefit of its land and its people.
