Abstract

We describe a set of tools for intelligently managing infrastrucutre construction projects, developed by a group of undergraduate students at the University of Florida, under a University-Industry Cooperation program known as IPPD (Integrated Product and Process Design), and sponsored by InfoTech, Inc. a Gainesville high-technology company. We describe the nature of the project and the tools that have been produced, and describe the educational program (IPPD) under which they were developed.
