The 28th EG-ICE International Workshop 2021 brings together international experts working at the interface between advanced computing and modern engineering challenges. Many engineering tasks require open-world resolutions to support multi-actor collaboration, coping with approximate models, providing effective engineer-computer interaction, search in multi-dimensional solution spaces, accommodating uncertainty, including specialist domain knowledge, performing sensor-data interpretation and dealing with incomplete knowledge. While results from computer science provide much initial support for resolution, adaptation is unavoidable and most importantly, feedback from addressing engineering ch...
ECPPM 2022 - eWork and eBusiness in Architecture, Engineering and Construction contains the papers presented at the 14th European Conference on Product & Process Modelling (ECPPM 2022, Trondheim, Norway, 14-16 September 2022), and builds on a long-standing history of excellence in product and process modelling in the construction industry, which is currently known as Building Information Modelling (BIM). The following topics and applications are given special attention: Sustainable and Circular Driven Digitalisation: Data Driven Design and/or Decision Support Assessment and Documentation of Sustainability Information lifecycle Data Management: Collection, Processing and Presentation of Envir...
Das Forum Bauinformatik steht unter dem Motto „von jungen Forschenden für junge Forschende“. Es bietet jungen Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern sowie interessierten Studierenden die Möglichkeit, ihre Forschungsarbeiten zu präsentieren, Problemstellungen fachspezifisch zu diskutieren und sich ganz allgemein über den neusten Stand der Forschung zu informieren. Zudem ergibt sich dadurch eine ausgezeichnete Gelegenheit, in die wissenschaftliche Gemeinschaft im Bereich der Bauinformatik einzusteigen und Kontakte zu anderen Forschenden zu knüpfen. According to the motto “from young researchers for young researchers” the Forum Bauinformatik offers researchers as well as interested undergraduates the opportunity to present their research work, to discuss discipline-specific problems and to catch up to the current state in research. Furthermore, it gives an excellent chance to get in touch with the scientific community in the field of Computing in Civil Engineering and socialize with other researchers

Technologische Entwicklungen sind die Voraussetzung für eine ganzheitliche Digitalisierung. Im Zeitalter des Digitalen Wandels sind Daten ein wertvoller Rohstoff für Informationen, neue Technologien, Prozesse und Ideen. Diese können die Produktivität positiv beeinflussen. Im Vergleich zu anderen Branchen stagniert die Produktivität in der Baubranche allerdings fast vollständig. Ursache hierfür ist unter anderem die geringe Digitalisierung etablierter Abläufe und geringe Neuschöpfung von Verfahren und Prozessen. Dabei bestehen vielfältige Potenziale der Digitalen Transformation in allen Phasen des Lebenszyklus der Verkehrsinfrastruktur. Ein Beispiel für solche Entwicklungen ist der...
Building Information Modeling (BIM) refers to the consistent and continuous use of digital information throughout the entire lifecycle of a built facility, including its design, construction and operation. In order to exploit BIM methods to their full potential, a fundamental grasp of their key principles and applications is essential. Accordingly, this book combines discussions of theoretical foundations with reports from the industry on currently applied best practices. The book’s content is divided into six parts: Part I discusses the technological basics of BIM and addresses computational methods for the geometric and semantic modeling of buildings, as well as methods for process model...
This book covers the topic of discourse and argumentation in archaeology with an aim to serve the archaeology community. The book presents discourse and argument analysis approaches and techniques in an affordable manner and applied to archaeological situations. It focuses on techniques and approaches that can be applicable to multiple situations, periods and cultures. The book begins with an introduction to discourse and argumentation analysis as a general field and also as an auxiliary technique to archaeology. The work includes conceptual applications, ranging from causality, ontological connections, vagueness, social production of discourse and public debates. The work also devotes a section to computational approaches and describes the specifics of some well-known families of algorithms such as lexical processing, information extraction or sentiment analysis. The conclusion comments on the future and which reflects on the previous chapters and discusses how the presented techniques and approaches should be adapted or improved for easier and more powerful application to archaeology. Contributing authors bring perspectives from archaeology, linguistics, and computer science.
Graph grammars originated in the late 60s, motivated by considerations about pattern recognition and compiler construction. Since then, the list of areas which have interacted with the development of graph grammars has grown quite impressively. Besides the aforementioned areas, it includes software specification and development, VLSI layout schemes, database design, modeling of concurrent systems, massively parallel computer architectures, logic programming, computer animation, developmental biology, music composition, visual languages, and many others. The area of graph grammars and graph transformations generalizes formal language theory based on strings and the theory of term rewriting ba...
Data can be extremely valuable if we are able to extract information from them. This is why multivariate data analysis is essential for business and science. This book offers an easy-to-understand introduction to the most relevant methods of multivariate data analysis. It is strictly application-oriented, requires little knowledge of mathematics and statistics, demonstrates the procedures with numerical examples and illustrates each method via a case study solved with IBM’s statistical software package SPSS. Extensions of the methods and links to other procedures are discussed and recommendations for application are given. An introductory chapter presents the basic ideas of the multivariat...
This volume brings together authors from four continents to argue that lean thinking should be integral to design management in the fields of architecture, engineering and construction (AEC). It was published as a special issue of Architectural Engineering and Design Management.
