3D modeling of archeological sites using Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

3D models of historical sites and monuments are very interesting in archaeology and digital tourism fields. These models help archeologists document historical sites and analyze the relationships between their components. Moreover, 3D models constitute an attractive factor that encourages visiting sites and presents virtual information about cultural heritage. In this paper, we propose an approach that uses capabilities of CAD (Computer Aided Design) and GIS (Geographic Information System) systems to construct spatial and semantic database for historical sites and modeling them in 3D. Users of the mentioned database can use it to gather information about sites and to navigate across them via the animation capabilities in GIS. The proposed ideas will be applied on the historical site of Ras-SHAMRA in Lattakia. Spatial data concerning the site will be acquired form a topographic plan designed in 2004. These data will then be processed and introduced into GIS environment. ArcGIS software will be used to achieve an Archeological Information System (AIS) for the site and to construct a 3D model of the site and the royal palace.

Designing A database of project Management Office in contracting company According to the International Methodologies

Most of the contracting companies suffer from poor coordination between the projects that they implement at the same time, and in Shauria, the situation is getting worse due to the absence of the application of modern methodologies in project management, which causes a great waste of time and effort, especially for organizing and retrieving dozens of documents related to planning and follow-up, and consequently an increase in time, cost and poor quality.
