between University of Waterloo, CANADA and Mansoura University,
Mansoura, EGYPT.
Thesis: “Construction Site Management”. This study optimizes the placing
of the temporary facilities within the boundaries of the construction site. An
integrated model developed using three different modules: A knowledge
base module to identify the facilities and to determine their areas; a fuzzy
logic module to determine their relationships; and a genetic algorithm
module to optimize their placement. The research also involves an extensive
programming work using “Visual Basic for Applications”, “Microsoft Excel
97” and “Microsoft Project 98”.
