Case-and Constraint-Based Project Planning for Apartment Construction

To effectively generate a fast and consistent apartment construction project network, Hyundai Engineering and Construction and Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology developed a case-and constraint-based project-planning expert system for an apartment domain. The reason we chose the case-and constraintbased approach is intuitive. Second, during system development, crosschecking of cases with constraints improves the quality of both of them. Through the crosschecking process, the system developers can refine the previous cases to the high-quality referential cases and simultaneously validate and verify the domain constraints. In the area of project management, there has been a lot of research and development of network-based project-planning methods and management techniques, assuming that a project network is given to the project manager (Bent and Thumann 1994).
