Graduates of technical architecture and construction have several work possibilities ahead of them. One is to join firms that carry out supervisory work of construction design projects, and their role in such firms is to perform an in-depth and formal verification of the content of design documents. This paper presents a number of results obtained in practical activities with students, the objective of which was to understand how they would carry out the management of such supervisory tasks by means of a systematic process of item verification. It is thus intended to hold an exercise of how they will eventually organise their professional duties. The results are grouped into five fully systematised checklist tables, one for each of the component elements of design projects (description, attachments, plans, measurements and budgets, and terms and conditions). A total of 108 testing and control checks were envisaged, each of which is well suited to be used, as-is, in a real professional context.

This study aims to determine the factors that influence the selection of the winning bidder in the construction of government projects in Sikka district and determine the most dominant factors. The sample in this study was 57 respondents. Sampling was conducted using a non-probability sampling technique with purposive sampling. Data analysis was performed by factor analysis.   The results of the study obtained 4 factors that influenced the selection of the winning bidder with 84.004% cumulative variance. Factors that influenced were the dominant factor I from 15 variables namely, completeness and suitability of substantial terms requested in the bidding documents; the experience of the company/contractor; bank reference/support of banks; completeness and availability as well as the number of different types of tools/equipment/construction equipment; the availability of education and experience of personnel/field project staff; relationship/ proximity to the project owner; the validity and completeness of the offer letter; the validity of a business license; a contractor offers had to be the lowest prices and the detailed points were competitively priced; meeting tax obligations; the company was not in the custody of the court and was not included in the black list; the contractor would follow and respond quickly to requests; instructions and orders of the project owner for the repair/construction design changes; originality, suitability and validity of bid security letters; methods and strategies for the use and control of the work; the contractor completed the work in accordance with the quality required and in accordance with the specifications of the contract price.

Developing a trustworthy information system is a challenging task. The overall trustworthiness of an information system depends on trust relationships that are generally assumed without adequate justification. However, lack of appropriate analysis of such relationships and of appropriate justification of relevant trust assumptions might lead to systems that fail to fully achieve their functionalities. Existing literature does not provide adequate guidelines for a systematic process or an appropriate modeling language to support such trust-focused analysis. This paper fills this gap by introducing a process that allows developers to capture possible trust relationships and to reason about them. The process is supported by a modeling language based on a set of concepts relating to trust and control and a CASE tool. An illustrative example from the UK health care domain is used to demonstrate the applicability and usefulness of the approach.

This paper proposes a shift in how technology is currently being developed by giving people, the users, control over their technology. We argue that users should have a say in the behaviour of the technologies that mediate their online interactions and control their private data. We propose 'partakable technologies', technologies where users can come together to discuss and agree on its features and functionalities. To achieve this, we base our proposal on a number of existing technologies in the fields of agreement technologies, natural language processing, normative systems, and formal verification. As an IJCAI early career spotlight paper, the paper provides an overview of the author's expertise in these different areas.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to describe the systematic process in developing an interpersonal communication material for the prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in the City of Manila, Philippines.Design/methodology/approachThe systematic process in the development of an interpersonal communication material is presented. The seven steps in the process included mapping of available health communication materials, needs identification, development of the material, pretesting, finalization, printing/production and orientation on the use of the material.FindingsThe process followed an iterative, multistakeholder approach in order to ensure that all important insights are obtained and that the final material is contextualized, easily communicated and culturally appropriate. It is important to consider context and culture on top of the methodology in order to ensure development of appropriate interpersonal communication material. It is also important that the experience of the primary health-care workers on the use of the interpersonal communication material is properly documented for future reference, through both quantitative and qualitative evaluations.Originality/valueThe seven-step systematic process utilized can be used as a model in developing health communication materials in the field of health promotion and education.

At the core of this effort is the requirement to answer the question of how many and what type of operators are needed to conduct a Battle Management Command and Control (BMC2) mission given the proposed capabilities of the E-10A. That is, define the organizational requirements for a future system before it is built. Based on detailed structured interviews, review of system design documents, and analysis of current Air Force systems, we created a comprehensive mission model as the analytical basis for a modeling and simulation study of operator tasks and task loading for the purpose of determining an optimal team structure for the E-10A. The final organizational design provides a detailed description of a proposed roles and responsibilities within the E-10A. The specification of a detailed model provides traceability of these recommendations and a high degree of transparency to support the system design process.

Digital instrumentation and control (I&C) system has been widely applied in nuclear power plant (NPP), which brings some new problems like software failure. The software failure is easy to come into being the common cause failure (CCF), leading to the failure of the whole protection system for NPP, thus endangering the safety of the NPP. In order to obtain the high quality software for computer important to safety, it is necessary to implement the software verification and validation (V&V) to guarantee that the software can completely and correctly meet the expected requirements of safety functions and performances. Moreover, for the guidance of software V&V and to strengthen the reliability of the software, laws and regulation standards related to the software V&V, were analyzed. On the basis of requirements of the laws and regulations standards and the results of analysis, a technical architecture about nuclear safety digital instrumentation and control system (DCS) software V&V was proposed, which consists of a technical model of software V&V and a general quality assurance (QA) system. The technical model of software V&V mainly illustrated some problems and discussed how to deal with it on the specific implementation of V&V activities and tasks. Meanwhile, in order to support the software V&V activities and tasks carried out efficiently, the general QA system, corresponding to the technical model of software V&V, was established which can supply the visual evidence for quality control process. At this point, it is expected that the results as studied above can provide some technical references in the transformation, formulating or modifying related standards of China and to promote the quality of nuclear safety DCS software.

In recent years, overall opening of construction plans review standardized survey and design market and control irregularities phenomena of undocumented design, leapfrog design, procuration indorsement, roughly-making and competition by lowering prices. The quality and level of survey and design have been markedly improved, which ensure the structural safety of the construction project and the implementation of the national mandatory provisions.
