Structuring architectural competitions as a competitive procurement process

Engineering, Construction and Architectural Management, 2020
PurposeArchitectural competitions have been in existence for over 2,500 years. Past studies on this have focussed on the architectural aspects, competition formats, design evaluation by jury members and its evolution. However, no comprehensive research has examined the way that architectural competitions can be structured as a competitive procurement ...

Hierarchical Competitive Net Architecture

1995
Development of hypersonic aircraft requires a high degree of system integration. Design tools are needed to provide rapid, accurate calculations of complex fluid flow patterns. This project demonstrates that neural networks can be successfully applied to calculation of fluid flow distribution and heat transfer in a six leg heat exchanger panel, typical

A Competitive Scalability Approach for Cloud Architectures

2014 IEEE 7th International Conference on Cloud Computing, 2014
The success of cloud computing has radically changed the way in which services are implemented and deployed, and made accessible to external and remote users. The cloud computing paradigm, in fact, supports a vision of distributed IT where software services and applications are outsourced and used on a pay-as-you-go basis.

Architectural competitions as discursive events

Theory and Society, 1994
During the 1970s and 1980s, the number of persons who reported their occupation as architects grew at an impressive rate in the United States; the number of design competitions paralleled this rapid growth. At first glance, the volume of construction appears to be a common underlying link between the two developments. In particular areas, the number of

Efficient pipelined architecture for competitive learning

Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing, 2011
This paper presents a novel pipelined architecture for competitive learning (CL). The architecture is implemented by the field programmable gate array (FPGA). It is used as a hardware accelerator in a system on programmable chip (SOPC) for reducing the computation time.
