Canada Research Chair in Fuzzy Hybrid Decision Support Systems for Construction
FY 2023-24
Summary
The multifaceted nature of construction projects requires organizations to balance many complex decisions in project planning and execution, such as those related to allocation of funds, duration of activities, and management of resources. Human activities and subjective judgement add uncertainties to these decisions. Dr. Aminah Robinson Fayek¿s Canada Research Chair combines her expertise in construction, artificial intelligence, and simulation to develop cutting-edge decision support systems, capable of handling different types of uncertainties. These innovative decision support systems will help to improve efficiency in natural resource development and civil engineering construction, which are integral to the strength of the Canadian economy.
