  Modeling pipeline projects using computer simulation

  Hany Zahran and Khaled Nassar

  Due to The increasing demand on fossil fuel, Pipelines have become an essential element in today's world economy. Thus, any delays in pipeline construction projects have become highly intolerable. The construction process has many activities that involve various resources and each activity relies strongly on its predecessors. This paper presents a tool for planning pipelines projects using computer simulation. The proposed tool aids contractors in planning pipelines projects by estimating their associated time and cost of construction. The tool breaks down pipeline projects into a number of activities along with their resources. An application example is presented to demonstrate the features of the proposed tool. © 2013 IEEE.

  Is there a computational advantage to representing evaporation rate in ant colony optimization as a gaussian random variable?

  Ashraf M. Abdelbar

  We propose an ACO (Ant Colony Optimization) variation in which the evaporation rate, instead of being constant as is common in standard ACO algorithms, is a Gaussian random variable with non-negligible variance. In experimental results in the context of MAX-MIN Ant System (MMAS) and the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), we find that our variation performs considerably better than MMAS when the number of iterations is small, and that its performance is slightly better than MMAS when the number of iterations is large. © 2012 ACM.

  Role of processes in electronic government (case of Egypt)

  Nahed Azab

  This paper highlights the importance of processes in any egovernment program by introducing the main areas of change in them. It investigates focal e-government processes through conducting a research on four organizations presenting Egyptian public organizations. Results revealed that determination of motives of business processes' change and documenting such changes proved to be the most important factors in in the processes to be carried out in an e-government project. Findings highlighted also a lack of internal integration of business processes in three of the four organizations studied due to the absence of Intranet or to the unwillingness to use an existing one. Also, business process integration among governmental organizations is still in an early stage and requires further improvements. Finally, processes undertaken in evaluating citizens' usage of each agency's website are highly considered and analyzed.
