This proposal describes research to develop an object oriented                  simulation system using RESQUE as its foundation, and to integrate              the simulation system with a knowledge based expert system for                  construction process planning.  RESQUE is a simulation system                   specifically designed to model complex resource interactions in                 construction processes.  However, its resource representation is                limited and model definition is input-intensive.  The new integrated            knowledge based expert simulation system extends RESQUE's modeling              methodology into the object oriented paradigm where resources and               operations are "encapsulated" units - each with its own knowledge,              such as resource properties and interaction rules.  Therefore, model            definition will only involve selecting operations and resources from            the system's construction processing knowledge base.  With the built-           in processing knowledge, the system will also be capable of giving              advice on process design and process performance analysis.  The                 formalization of process knowledge will contribute to construction              basic research, and the proposed system will broaden and simplify               construction simulation.
