Building information modelling (BIM) is only a tool in the procurement of a building, but it is changing the way the whole process is undertaken. Having a single model which is used by all disciplines requires a different management structure and by consequence a restructuring of the resources required to complete a project.These changes are encompassed in Integrated Practice and more recently Integrated...
The construction industry has been facing a paradigm shift to (i) increase; productivity, efficiency, infrastructure value, quality and sustainability, (ii) reduce; lifecycle costs, lead times and duplications, via effective collaboration and communication of stakeholders in construction projects. Digital construction is a political initiative to address low productivity in the sector. This seeks...
This paper discusses the manner in which cinema buildings of the 20th century represent both an important physical record of society, and a challenge in terms of representing a complex range of historical, cultural, economic and physical data sets.The paper provides an overview of visualisation techniques which are appropriate to the subject, and provides a case study taken from the city of Aberdeen...
Digital Earth (DE) is a virtual presentation of the planet based on geographic coordinate, and is an information system with tremendous amount of multiple resolutions and multiple scales data as shown in multiple dimensions. It can visualize the real earth and represent historical phenomena in digital way by using the large amount of data of the earth, and utilizing the computer techniques, image...
A generic test process should support all approaches "formal to informal" and mixed approaches within, and across, all test levels. But widely-accepted formal approaches, from current standards, certification syllabi and tools, have explicitly-defined test cases as the key underlying entity: not all real-life approaches use explicit test cases. Also, testing is maturing beyond merely "finding...
The Open Distributed Processing Reference Model (ODP-RM) provides viewpoints and abstract infrastructure guidelines that can be used for a basis for enterprise architecture, especially for an inter-enterprise architecture. The ODP-RM does not prescribe methodology for modeling itself, but provides common vocabulary and focus for description. This paper performs a brief analysis of the ODP-RM (and...
An important issue to the adoption of any enterprise architectural approach is the availability of tools to support the development, storage, presentation, analysis, improvement and evolution of enterprise architecture representations. As with enterprise architecture methodologies, enterprise architecture tools to support the architectural development process are still emerging. Most important software...
