Information Technology for Construction: Recent Work and Future Directions
نویسندگان
چکیده
An improvement in the applications of information technology in construction is a major international research endeavour in scientific establishments and industry. A significant focal point for this research in terms of its dissemination and the derivation of a shared research agenda, has been the working commission concerned with IT for construction within the international council for innovation and research in building and construction (CIB). Working commission 78 of CIB has been active for almost 20 years in holding annual meetings of leading scholars in the field. These annual meetings have allowed the principal research activities from around the world to be presented to expert fora. In addition, the meetings have typically allowed debates and discussion to take place regarding the state of progress with key research themes, the emergence of new research themes, and a vision of construction activities in the future to which ongoing research could relate. This paper seeks to capture overall experiences from the activities of this working commission by reviewing the key research issues that have been addressed in recently reported work and seeking to illicit a vision of future IT-enabled construction projects that might inform future research.
