Unfortunately, many ERP systems make things more complex for construction business. The reality is that few ERP systems are vertically integrated for use in construction, and most of them are very complicate and ultimately difficult to implement. In addition, suppliers of ERP systems, for example iScala, SAP, Oracle and etc., must work with consultants and integrators to provide normal systems job after implementation. The purpose of the research is to identify, investigate, analyze and systematize the factors that can influence creation and functioning of the ERP system in a company and create metodology of ERP system implementation.

The objective of this paper is to establish the baseline configuration of the project management information system. The baseline configuration is developed according a set of typical project management requirements These requirements are determined by summarizing several project management methodologies and investigations on evaluation of project management information systems. They are divided in 15 groups. A high level description of the baseline configuration of project management information system is defined on the basis of these requirements. It consists of the list of typical project management scenarios and workflows as well as the list of relevant concepts, their default values and business rules. The baseline configuration is compared with configurations used in selected project management information systems.

In this paper a conceptual framework for integrating of agent-based models with cellular automata, geographic automata systems and geographic information systems in the context of modelling and simulation of urban systems is proposed. The proposed framework uses Visual Discrete Event System Specification (V-DEVS) that provides integrated modelling and simulation in a virtual interactive simulation environment, in a such way solving the existing problem that multi-agent systems and geographic information systems separately do not provide truly integrative modelling and simulation capabilities.","PeriodicalId":211660,"journal":{"name":"Sci.

The decisions to be made are the amount of beer to be ordered in every echelon of supply chain in each echelon over the time horizon of one year. Since demand of the end customer is stochastic and presented by means of scenarios, the problem is solved by using sample average approximation method. This method uses only a subset of the scenarios, randomly sampled according to the distribution over scenarios, to represent the full scenario space. An important theoretical justification for this method is that as the number of scenarios sampled increases, the solution to the approximate problem converges to an optimal solution in the expected sense. The computational results are presented for two cases. First target level is chosen as a decision variable and then order size is chosen as a decision variable of the problem. The target level strategy is based on making inventory for each echelon; in its turn order strategy is based on determination of optimal order quantity, which is independent from scenarios. However target level strategy provides high service at low cost, but it offers less reality under uncertain demand than order strategy. Practical experiments on finding the optimal SAA parameters are presented in the paper and as well as the analysis of their impact on solution quality.","PeriodicalId":211660,"journal":{"name":"Sci.

Traditionally the metrics of choice has been Euclidean distance. This article studies other distance metrics used in cluster analysis- Manhattan distance, Cosine distance and Pearson correlation measure. In k-means clustering algorithm these metrics were used to determine cluster centers and the clustering correctness was evaluated. It was found that the clustering results were very similar. The article also contemplates to evaluate clustering validity criteria. Attāluma metrikas izvēles pamatotība klasteranalīzē Klasteranalīzē ir nepieciešams kaut kādā veidā klasificēt datus vai atrast likumsakarības tajos, tāpēc jēdziens \"likumsakarība\" iegūst arvien lielāku nozīmi intelektuālās datu analīzes kontekstā. Bieži ir nepieciešams noskaidrot - kādā veidā dati ir saistīti savā starpā, kāda ir dažādu datu līdzība vai atšķirība, kāds ir šo datu salīdzināšanas mērs. Tādam nolūkam var izmantot dažādus klasterizācijas algoritmus, kas datus sadala grupās pēc noteiktiem kritērijiem - metrikas. Ar metriku šajā kontekstā tiek saprasta distance (attālums) starp klasterā ietilpstošajiem punktiem. Darbā tika pārbaudīta klasiskā klasterizācijas algoritma k-means darbības rezultāti ar dažādām metrikām: Eiklīda distanci, Manhattan distanci, Cosine distanci un Pīrsona korelācijas koeficientu. Eksperimentu gaitā k-means klasterizācijas algoritmā klasteru centru noteikšanai secīgi tika izmantotas minētās četras metrikas. Iegūtie rezultāti tika analizēti un tika pārbaudīts klasterizācijas korektums. Tradicionāli klasterizācijas algoritmos izmanto Eiklīda distanci, taču citas metrikas izvēle atsevišķos gadījumos var būt diskutējama. Tas atkarīgs no risināmā uzdevuma, datu apjoma un sarežgītības. Tika konstatēts, ka klasterizācijas rezultāti visu apskatāmo metriku izmantošanā ir ļoti līdzīgi. Nevienai no izvēlētajām metrikām nebija izšķirīga pārsvara, kas varētu garantēti pasludināt to par labāko. Darba izstrādes laikā aktualizējās jautājums par klasterizācijas kvalitātes kritērijiem, t.i., skaitliska kritērija noteikšanu, lai varētu novērtēt klasterizācijas rezultātu. Klasterizācijas kvalitātes kritēriji tika novērtēti ar Randa indeksu un Huberta indeksu. Обоснование выбора метрики расстояния в кластерном анализе В кластерном анализе необходимо каким-то образом классифицировать данные или найти в них закономерности, поэтому понятие закономерности имеет большое значение в контексте интеллектуальной обработки данных. Часто приходится выяснять каким образом данные связаны между собой, какова степень сходства или различия между ними, какова мера сравнения этих данных. Для таких целей можно использовать различные алгоритмы кластеризации, которые группируют данные по определенным критериям метрики. Под метрикой в этом контексте подразумевается расстояние (дистанция) между точками кластера. В статье проверяются результаты раб","PeriodicalId":211660,"journal":{"name":"Sci. J. Riga Tech. Univ.
