Risk Management in Engineering and Construction Tools and Techniques

Risk Management in Engineering and Construction Tools and Techniques

Today’s businesses are driven by customer ‘pull’ and technological ‘push’. To remain competitive in this dynamic business world engineering and construction organizations are constantly innovating with new technology tools and techniques to improve process performance in their projects. Their management challenge is to save time reduce cost and increase quality and operational efficiency. Risk management has recently evolved as an effective method of managing both projects and operations. Risk is inherent in any project as managers need to plan projects with minimal knowledge and information but its management helps managers to become proactive rather than reactive. Hence it not only increases the chance of project achievement but also helps ensure better performance throughout its operations phase. Various qualitative and quantitative tools are researched extensively by academics and routinely deployed by practitioners for managing risk. These have tremendous potential for wider applications. Yet the current literature on both the theory and practice of risk management is widely scattered. Most of the books emphasize risk management theory but lack practical demonstrations and give little guidance on the application of those theories. This book showcases a number of effective applications of risk management tools and techniques across product and service life in a way useful for practitioners graduate students and researchers. It also provides an in-depth understanding of the principles of risk management in engineering and construction. | Risk Management in Engineering and Construction Tools and Techniques

Cloud Reliability Engineering: Technologies and Tools presents case studies examining cloud services their challenges and the reliability mechanisms used by cloud service providers. These case studies provide readers with techniques to harness cloud reliability and availability requirements in their own endeavors. Both conceptual and applied the book explains reliability theory and the best practices used by cloud service companies to provide high availability. It also examines load balancing and cloud security. Written by researchers and practitioners the book’s chapters are a comprehensive study of cloud reliability and availability issues and solutions. Various reliability class distributions and their effects on cloud reliability are discussed. An important aspect of reliability block diagrams is used to categorize poor reliability of cloud infrastructures where enhancement can be made to lower the failure rate of the system. This technique can be used in design and functional stages to determine poor reliability of a system and provide target improvements. Load balancing for reliability is examined as a migrating process or performed by using virtual machines. The approach employed to identify the lightly loaded destination node to which the processes/virtual machines migrate can be optimized by employing a genetic algorithm. To analyze security risk and reliability a novel technique for minimizing the number of keys and the security system is presented. The book also provides an overview of testing methods for the cloud and a case study discusses testing reliability installability and security.
