The article discusses how the knowledge of management and artificial intelligence can be used for controlling the budgets and schedules ofsoftware projects. The first part of this paper gives an outline of the problems involved in software project management regarding the planning and control of processes and project teams. Next, an overview of changes in management is presented, followed by a description of a method for how these ideas can be used to solve software engineering problems. Consequently, an example is presented of a decision-support system, designed to aid project-team managers in planning and controlling budgets and schedules and helping the team members to adjust.

The dynamic nature and increasing complexity of the construction projects impose many challenges for project planning and control. As a project progresses, more information becomes available and the level of uncertainty decreases. It can be used to proactively check the validity of the previous decisions and develop revised and more detailed plans for the upcoming activities in construction planning meetings. For this purpose, this study implements ontological knowledge representation and semantic reasoning techniques to propose an intelligent information collection and decision support system framework for short-term collaborative construction and resource planning. Moreover, a new approach is suggested that allows for incorporating resource specifications and limitations, and complex multi-factor constraints in the ontological planning process. The framework was tested based on a real-world construction project and different application cases were discussed. The framework showed a promising performance for analyzing different scenarios and help the planners making informative decisions.
