Abstract
This paper presents an overview of a prototypical evaluation system intended for new construction technologies under consideration by the US Army Corps of Engineers. The system has been designed for implementation on MS-DOS driven micro-computers and is capable of determining the level of technology impact on the military construction programme within a given planning horizon. Potential civilian sector applications of this system are also desirable.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
