We report on the implementation experience of carrying out data collection and other activities for a public health evaluation study on whether U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) investment improved utilization of health services and health system strengthening in Uganda. The retrospective study period focused on the PEPFAR scale-up, from mid-2005 through mid-2011, a period of expansion of PEPFAR programing and health services. We visited 315 health care facilities in Uganda in 2011 and 2012 to collect routine health management information system data forms, as well as to conduct interviews with health system leaders. An earlier phase of this research project collected data from all 112 health district headquarters, reported elsewhere. This article describes the lessons learned from collecting data from health care facilities, project management, useful technologies, and mistakes. We used several new technologies to facilitate data collection, including portable document scanners, smartphones, and web-based data collection, along with older but reliable technologies such as car batteries for power, folding tables to create space, and letters of introduction from appropriate authorities to create entrée. Research in limited-resource settings requires an approach that values the skills and talents of local people, institutions and government agencies, and a tolerance for the unexpected. The development of personal relationships was key to the success of the project. We observed that capacity building activities were repaid many fold, especially in data management and technology.

OBJECTIVE
To analyze the allocation and trend of central government AIDS special funding in 4 priority sites of HIV/AIDS prevention and control across calendar years.


METHODS
Information about the allocation of central government special AIDS funding and cumulative HIV/AIDS survivor numbers of Z city, D prefecture, L prefecture and D prefecture were collected until 2013. Data were collected from 2004-2013 for Z city and D prefecture, and data from 2009-2013 were collected for L and Y prefecture. Funding allocation among all working areas and their trend over time were analyzed.


RESULTS
From 2004-2013, the total amount of special funding in Z prefecture was 110.15 million RMB. The largest three areas of allocation were key population response (29%, 3 190/11 015), surveillance and testing (23%, 2 535/11 015) and human resource (13%, 1 498/11 015). The least area of allocation was follow-up and prevention of discordant couple transmission (2%, 251/11 015). The total amount of special funding in D prefecture from 2004-2013 was 109.77 million RMB. The largest three areas of allocation were treatment and care (25%, 2 691/10 977), follow-up and prevention of discordant couple transmission (17%, 1 843/10 977) and surveillance and testing (15%, 1 656/10 977). The least area was blood safety (1%, 135/10 977). From 2009 to 2013, the total amount of special funding in L prefecture was 55 million RMB. The largest three areas of allocation were surveillance and testing (60%, 3 298/5 500), high risk population intervention (14%, 768/5 500) and follow up and prevention of discordant couple transmission (12%, 675/5 500). The least area was blood safety (0.1%, 8/5 500). From 2009-2013, the total amount of special funding in Y prefecture was 55 million RMB and the largest three areas of allocation were project management and others (28%, 1 527/5 500), key population response (19%, 1 046/5 500) and high risk population intervention (17%, 922/5 500). The least area of special funding was blood safety (2%, 106/5 500). Among three HIV/AIDS epidemic related key areas (surveillance and testing, follow-up and prevention of discordant couple transmission, treatment and care), 2004-2013, allocated funds were between 2.96-3.36, 0-0.37, 0.37-1.97 million RMB in Z city; 0.64-2.35, 0.00-3.00, 2.00-4.70 million RMB in D prefecture; 2009-2013, allocated funds were between 2.67-8.85, 0.41-2.39, 0.35-1.84 million RMB in L prefecture, 1.18-2.84, 0.70-1.05, 0.46-0.89 million RMB in Y prefecture.


CONCLUSION
The allocation patterns of central government AIDS special funding among key working areas were different across 4 different sites; in each individual site, the trend of special funding allocation was stable among HIV epidemic related key areas over calendar years.
Consequence Classification Based Spare Parts Evaluation and Control in the Petroleum Industry
Authors: R. Ratnayake
Year: 2019

Spare parts (SPs) evaluation and control (SPE&C) has been a challenging task in the onshore and offshore petroleum industry, due to the highly hazardous and capital-intensive nature of operational assets. SPE&C requires that different phases of the petroleum asset's life cycle (i.e. commissioning, operations, modifications, and decommissioning) are taken into consideration via project execution. The requirements imposed by regulatory authorities, the recommendations suggested by classification societies and standards (i.e. national and international), and the guidelines available in the internal performance standards must be taken into consideration in an SPE&C process. SPE&C also requires contributions from several stakeholders from various disciplines, such as plant integrity, materials management, project management and package responsibility, as well as original equipment manufacturers/vendors, to establish a consensus about operational and work practices. Due to the inherent nature of the operational assets, the conventional inventory control approaches and formulae are mostly superimposed by consequence classifications and risk assessments. This has resulted in a significant level of ad hoc spare part recommendations, causing significant loss to asset owners. This manuscript firstly demonstrates current SPE&C practices in the petroleum industry. Secondly, it presents frameworks to standardize SPE&C tasks. Finally, it proposes inventory policies, based on consequence and unit cost, which provide an approach to compensate for ad hoc SPA&C tasks, to minimize SP-related losses to the assets' owners.

Year: 2023

Software maintenance resolves issues in development, including web applications. The web application can be split into front-end and back-end perspectives. Performance improvements can be achieved through back-end maintenance. Web applications with MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture are maintained via code adjustment in the controllers. This research focuses on maintaining the back-end side of the Desk Evaluation, a web application for the university's final project management. The Collaboration Model of Software Development is the method used in this research. The controllers of the Desk Evaluation application that have been maintained are tested using unit and load testing. Unit testing shows that controllers give a proper response. Load testing indicates a 98% success rate and under 30 seconds average load time for all controllers. Then, the code in the controllers is analyzed with SonarQube, earning an A rating for reliability, signifying rule compliance, and minimizing bugs.

Year: 2018

We consider the problem of parallel-machine scheduling with machine-dependent slack (SLK) due-window assignment in the multitasking environment, which exists in various application domains such as Internet services, project management, and manufacturing. Motivated by practical observations, we extend the original model of multitasking to a more general model where each job’s interruption proportion depends on the job itself and its processing position. In the light of individualised service, we consider SLK due-window assignment. Our objective is to minimise the total cost that comprises the earliness, tardiness, and due-window-related costs. Finding that an optimal schedule exists when each machine is occupied by at least one job, we show that the problem is polynomially solvable. We provide a more efficient solution algorithm for a special case of the problem. Finally, we present numerical examples to illustrate the application of the theoretical results and working of the solution algorithms.

A maturity model to assess organisational readiness for change
Authors: Olivier Zephir; S. Minel; Emilie Chapotot
Year: 2011

The presented model which is developed in a European project allows project management teams to assess the organisational maturity to integrate new practices under structural or technological change. Maturity for change is defined here as workforce capability to operate effectively in transformed processes. This methodology is addressed to tackle organisational readiness to fulfil business objectives through technological and structural improvements. The tool integrates a set of evaluations structured in three main steps defined as maturity levels. The two first levels 'change impact mapping' and 'As Is and To-Be state comparison' allow identifying departments, organisational actors impacted and introduce evaluations characterising change in processes. The third level 'key factors evaluation' provides needed resources estimation and introduces new work process support. The innovative feature of this model is to integrate technical and human capability for organisational development. This paper brings a practical resource in process design.

Data centers play a crucial role in modern digital infrastructure, but their energy consumption and associated carbon footprint are significant concerns. Among the various energy-consuming components of data centers, cooling systems stand out as major contributors. This paper explores the integration of project management principles with advanced cooling solutions to enhance energy efficiency in data centers. By effectively managing projects and implementing innovative cooling technologies, data center operators can achieve significant reductions in energy consumption and operational costs. The integration of project management practices with advanced cooling solutions involves several key steps. First, project management methodologies such as Agile or Waterfall are applied to plan and execute the implementation of advanced cooling technologies. This includes assessing current cooling systems, identifying suitable advanced solutions, and developing a timeline for implementation. Next, advanced cooling solutions such as liquid cooling, containment systems, or free cooling are deployed to reduce the energy required for cooling data center equipment. One of the primary benefits of integrating project management with advanced cooling solutions is enhanced energy efficiency. Advanced cooling technologies can significantly reduce the energy consumed by data center cooling systems, leading to lower operational costs and a smaller carbon footprint. Additionally, the use of project management methodologies ensures that the implementation of these technologies is carried out efficiently and effectively. Furthermore, this integration can lead to improved data center performance and reliability. By optimizing cooling systems, data center operators can ensure that IT equipment operates within optimal temperature ranges, reducing the risk of overheating and downtime. Additionally, the implementation of advanced cooling solutions can future-proof data centers against increasing heat loads from high-density computing equipment. In conclusion, integrating project management with advanced cooling solutions offers a promising path to enhance energy efficiency in data centers. By adopting this approach, data center operators can achieve significant energy savings, reduce their environmental impact, and improve overall operational efficiency.
Frontloading: Virtual Quality Assurance for Improved Service Launch Processes
Authors: H. Lehmann; U. Beyer; Simon Cohnitz; Udo Bub
Year: 2009

Swift and frictionless launches of new products are a decisive capability of future telecommunication providers, especially in an all-IP production environment. These processes are characterized by nonlinear, network-like dependencies of multiple stakeholders (e.g. marketing, product management, IT, production, multi-project management, controlling and others) and critical technical resources such as IT systems, production platforms, customer relationship management systems and technical elements. As these nonlinearities cannot be governed by simple guesses, a systematic a priori quality assurance of launch processes must necessarily involve comprehensive model-based simulations. However, a fine-grained deterministic model of the technical landscape of a telecommunication provider must fail due to complexity and changeability with time. The presented paper proposes – utilizing aspect-oriented modelling and arbitrary hierarchical scales – a slim methodology and concurrent software tool for such a quality assurance..
A Study of Probabilistic Risk Evaluation for System Development Project Based on Requirements Analysis and Bayesian Estimation
Authors: Shinji Mochida
Year: 2019

For building a business system quickly, more efficient project management is needed. However, uncertain and subjective factors in requirements from customer cause cost overruns or schedule delays in the project. Furthermore, uncertain and subjective factors can lead to misunderstandings and false estimates when converting requirements into specifications or scheduling within a project. Thus this paper proposes a probabilistic risk evaluation method with Requirements Analysis and Bayesian estimation for project management to accurately assess the project risk. If this method works well, efficient project management will be realized.
Software Task Importance Prediction based on Project Management Data
Authors: Themistoklis G. Diamantopoulos; Christiana Galegalidou; A. Symeonidis
Year: 2021

With the help of project management tools and code hosting facilities, software development has been transformed into an easy-to-decentralize business. However, determining the importance of tasks within a software engineering process in order to better prioritize and act on has always been an interesting challenge. Although several approaches on bug severity/priority prediction exist, the challenge of task importance prediction has not been sufficiently addressed in current research. Most approaches do not consider the meta-data and the temporal characteristics of the data, while they also do not take into account the ordinal characteristics of the importance/severity variable. In this work, we analyze the challenge of task importance prediction and propose a prototype methodology that extracts both textual (titles, descriptions) and meta-data (type, assignee) characteristics from tasks and employs a sliding window technique to model their time frame. After that, we evaluate three different prediction methods, a multi-class classifier, a regression algorithm, and an ordinal classification technique, in order to assess which model is the most effective for encompassing the relative ordering between different importance values. The results of our evaluation are promising, leaving room for future research.
