In this paper, the authors review and evaluate some of the pressing specific problems that we face as a society and that have been traditionally entrusted to civil and environmental engineers. There is ample evidence that the state-of-the practice is not sufficiently qualified to address daunting problems related to the safe and efficient performance of infrastructures with the current approach...

In this paper we discuss how tools for conceptual design in civil engineering can be developed using graph transformation specifications. These tools consist of three parts: (a) for elaborating specific conceptual knowledge (knowledge engineer), (b) for working out conceptual design results (architect), and (c) automatic consistency analyses which guarantee that design results are consistent wi...
