Course specification
Course is active from 01.10.2005.. Enabling students for a system approach and application of the system theory on the process of structure building. Obtaining knowledge in the operation research methods and structure building process modelling methods. Enabling students for systematic analysis and defining the building process structure within the elaboration of the projects in technology and building organization and the realization of the same. Enabling students for analysis and basic modelling of construction processes. Historical development of the system theory and its essence. The role of system theory in science and practice. System theory as an acknowledgement method. System classification. System analysis and synthesis. System organization and disorganization. System behaviour. System entropy. Problems, means and methods of operation researches. Process modelling in construction. Linear and non-linear programming. Multi-criteria optimization. Fundamentals in decision making theory (decision making elements and criteria). Teaching is performed in lectures in the form of presentations of individual method units and auditory practice where certain types of problems related to certain method units are solved. At practice students solve problems with the help of an assistant. The examination encircles the entire course content from the semester, and it is taken in the written form (exercises and theory).
