Time-cost-quality trade-off analysis for construction projects by ElBassuony, Mahmoud

“…For the aforementioned purpose, three various Microsoft Excel based TCQT models have been developed as follows: • First, a simplified model is developed with the objective of optimizing the total duration, cost, and quality of simple construction projects utilizing the GA-based Excel add in Evolver. • Second, a stochastic model is developed with the objective of optimizing the total duration, cost, and quality of construction projects applying the PERT approach in order to consider uncertainty associated with the performance of execution options and the whole project. • Third, an advanced multi objective optimization model is developed utilizing a self-developed optimization tool having the following capabilities: 1. …”

Parametric freeform-based construction site layout optimization by Abotaleb, Ibrahim

“…The main focus of this research is to develop a new approach of modeling site facilities to surpass limitations and inefficiencies of previous models and to ensure a more realistic approach to construction site layout problems. A construction site layout optimization model was developed that can suit both static and dynamic site layouts. …”

Trends, problems, and solutions in causality and reinforcement learning by Grimbly, St John

“…The core argument is that the RL problem can be formulated as a causal problem, where the agent is learning causal policies that maximise return (via some causal relationship implied by the policy) and does this via selecting optimal actions (performing interventions) in the environment. …”
