In automata theory , automata construction is an important mathematical technique used to demonstrate the existence of an automaton with a certain desired property. Very often, it is presented as an algorithm that takes a desired property as input and produces as output an automaton with the property. Many hard problems in automata theory involve finding the right construction of an automaton such that the problem can be answered. For example, the famous construction in McNaughton s Theorem answered the question if non deterministic B chi automaton can always be translated into a deterministic Muller automaton . Example Powerset construction is an algorithm to construct a deterministic finite automaton from a given nondeterministic finite automaton . Optimality of a construction An automata construction is called optimal if there is an input to the construction such that there exist no automaton that satisfy the desired property with smaller size complexity than output of the construction.

Yahya, 2009 . Rapid construction can be achieved through the basic principle of focusing on eliminating waste. The criteria of stabilizing the work flow can be achieved by injecting lean manufacturing principles into the construction process flow. Lean construction is a new way to manage construction. The objective, principles and techniques of lean construction taken together form the basis for a rapid project delivery process. Unlike current approaches to managing construction including Design Build design build and programmatic improvement efforts partnering , lean construction provides the foundation for an operations based rapid construction project delivery system. While the transformation flow value theory broadens the understanding of project management , the perception of construction as a complex phenomenon opens up for the introduction of completely new approaches to project management. The ordered approach which gave rise to what can be called management as planning and management as organizing should be reinterpreted and supplemented in future project management. Management as co operation and as learning comes into focus. The consultant and contractor s familiarity with the system led to significant reductions in construction time and improvements in overall economy. The use of material and workflow in this technology is to provide rapid construction, decrease Environmental impact assessment environmental impacts , increase durability, and reduce on site labour, resulting in better work zone safety.

Construction , also referred as construction reconstruction is a widely used, yet vaguely defined topic of modern psychoanalysis. According to its proponents, Freud in his later writings had already distinguished between construction and interpretation, hence construction reconstruction is being a kind of upgrade of interpretation. There is a strong difference between simple interpretation and construction concerning how to see the past. In the interpretations the past is discovered as a preexisting phenomenon, while in the construction the past is not just simply found, but it s also created. In the therapeutical setting a simple interpretation of the patient s claims is usually leading to a conterproductive debate about who is more correct, the patient or the analyst. The construction is attended to overcome this debate by using only the patinet s material, without the invasions from the analsyst s side a resemblance to methods of http books.google.sk books?id 9zcEXiuo8E8C&pg PA67&lpg PA67&dq malan davanloo&source bl&ots cZ4vvE0t r&sig 8E3ZM2UMglBX0kzasZnWWZoFL58&hl sk&ei mCT TdOeOsOcOui56d4I&sa X&oi book result&ct result&resnum 2&ved 0CCMQ6AEwAQ v onepage&q malan 20davanloo&f false Malan and Davanloo .
