Positional Data

Piping design for ‘revamp’ projects in the process industry requires the retrieval of large amounts of ‘as-built’ data from existing process plant installations. Positional data with a high degree of accuracy are required. Photogrammetry, the science of measurement from photographs, was identified in Imperial Chemical Industries plc (ICI) as a suitable tool for information retrieval. The mathematical formulation enabling the definition of three-dimensional positions from photographic information is described. The process of using ICI's photogrammetric system for the definition of complete objects such as structures and pipes is illustrated. The need for specialized photogrammetric software for design purposes is explained. A case study describing how the photogrammetric system has been applied is described and graphical outputs from this exercise are shown. It is concluded that this particular photogrammetric system has proved to be a cost effective and accurate tool for the retrieval of ‘as-built’ information.

Taking Care

Recruitment process takes place based on needed data while certain limiting factors are ignored. The objective of the chapter is to recruit best employees while taking care of limiting factors from the cluster for resource management and scheduling. Various parameters of the recruits have been selected to find the maximum score achieved by them. Recruitment process makes a database as cluster in the software environment perform the information retrieval on the database and then perform data mining using genetic algorithm while taking care of the positive values in contrast to limiting values received from the database. A bigger level recruitment process finds required values of a person, so negative points are ignored earlier in the recruitment process because there is no direct way to compare them. Genetic algorithm will create output in the form of chromosomal form. Again, apply information retrieval to get actual output. Major application of this process is that it will improve the selection process of candidates to a higher level of perfection in less time.

Development Methods

The case study describes a small consulting company’s experience in the design and implementation of a database and associated information retrieval system. Their choices are explained within the context of the firm’s needs and constraints. Issues associated with development methods are discussed, along with problems that arose from not following proper development disciplines.
