| Abstract | Subcontractors have a significant role in the construction industry. Due to lack of systematic relationships and communication among different parties, involved in construction projects, including subcontractors, many beneficial opportunities may stay hidden and unknown during projects. In this study we discuss how subcontractors can benefit considerably from joint resource management in construction projects. We present a short-term partnering case in which subcontractors form an alliance, agree to put all or some of the common resources in a joint pool for a fixed duration of time and allocate the group resources using a more cost-effective plan. Cooperative game theory is applied to design a cooperative framework for fair and efficient allocation of the incremental benefits of cooperation among the subcontractors. First, a resource leveling model is used to build subcontractors' characteristic functions for all possible coalitions formed by subcontractors. Then, various cooperative game theoretic solution methods are applied for allocation of cooperative gains among the subcontractors. Results show that considerable cost savings under the grand coalition creates strong incentive for cooperation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
