“…With the use of ICT applications, actors try to reach an understanding about action situations and their plans of action in order to coordinate their actions. For example with the use of e-AMPS (Tserng and Lin, 2003), participants automatically communicate real-time scheduling information in order to make appropriate decisions with regard to project control. All other examples of ICT applications mentioned above share the same characteristics.…”

“…This problem is also recognised by several researchers mentioned in Section 3. Tserng and Lin (2003) mention the importance of unobstructed communication among all project participants, i.e. the complete sharing of scheduling information among project members.…”

“…Although sharing information is critical for the success of construction projects, the construction industry is confronted with great difficulties in sharing information among its participants. Therefore, there has been an increasing recognition of the need for a more effective and efficient transfer of information between participating organisations in construction projects (e.g., Ahmad et al, 1995;Baldwin et al, 1999;Tserng and Lin, 2003).…”

Through rapid advancements in ICT, opportunities arise in enhancing communication between participants of different organisations in construction projects. The use of ICT in construction is, however, relatively limited and ineffective compared to other sectors such as the automotive or the aerospace industry. An understanding of the project context and the nature of communication between organisations is an essential prerequisite in analysing and designing ICT in an effective way. The objective of this paper is to analyse the alignment between ICT and the actual communication processes in construction projects. The major question is what types of action need to be supported by ICT, and those that can be supported by the available ICT applications in construction projects. The critical social theory of Habermas (1984Habermas ( , 1987) is used as a classification scheme for analysing the alignment of communication and ICT applications in construction projects.

This paper suggests an object-oriented eXtensible Markup Language (XML) document meta-model that supports business-to-business (B2B) collaborations. Distributed organizations collaborate with each other by sharing manufacturing information or exchanging trading documents. However, each organization often has different data formats, communication methods and databases. Therefore, to execute collaborative interactions between distributed organizations, it is important to develop an information integration technology between heterogeneous information sources. Automatic interpretation of communicated data and integration of the data with legacy databases within enterprises will be an enabler technology for the effective implementation of B2B collaborations. In this paper, we propose a document data model that efficiently integrates XML documents as a medium to exchange data on the internet among inter-enterprise databases. We expect the model to contribute to the execution of e-Work, which focuses on the efficient integration of distributed applications.

“…In a highly competitive and changeable environment, the schedule of a multi-contract project [9] can easily encounter various unforeseen circumstances at the project execution phase caused by the influence of various uncertainties. O'Brien indicates that discrepancies between the needed resources for activities and the resources available to subcontractors are a major cause of project changes [10].…”

In this paper, agent-based collaborative decisionmaking processes are addressed to resolve the dynamic scheduling problem of a distributed project. If any delay event occurs, the self-interested activity agent, the major agent in the framework for dynamic scheduling, can automatically cooperate with other agents to solve the delay problem through a two-stage decision-making process: the fuzzy decision-making process and the compensatory negotiation process. The first stage determines which behavior strategy will be taken by agents while delay event occurs, and prepares to next stage; then the compensatory negotiations among agents are opened related with determination of compensations for respective decisions and strategies in the second stage.
