Scope/Description:

The aim is to report on academic research and innovative industrial development work concerning the application of information technology throughout the lifecycle of the design construction and occupancy of buildings and related facilities. The focus is on presenting research results dealing with or having relevance across disciplines andor lifecycle stages. There are other existing journals addressing specialised analysis synthesis or optimisation methods particular to design or construction tasks within the individual subdisciples of construction.In the following list some major topics which the journal aims to cover are mentionedIT strategies within organisations and groups ranging from the level of the individual firm to a consortium of firms to national construction industries.Construction process and enterprise modellingReengineering of the construction process using IT as an enabling technologyMethods of concurrent engineeringITsupported communication across or within disciplines and life cycle stages hypermedia Internet videoconferencing etc.Databases translation methodologies remote communication between programs shared object libraries and other computing techniques for data exchange and sharingTechnologies and standards for the digital representation of buildings building product modelsStandards for structuring and exchanging data in the construction process building classification systems EDI messages CADlayering document management representation of building regulations component librariesThe use of ITbased techniques for problem solving in construction expert systems and AI casebased reasoning simulation neural networks the genetic algoritm et.c..Computerization of building standards codes and regulations.Distance learning of IT in civil engineering using IT itself.
