... In the collected literature, there are few evaluation criteria or evaluation systems of ICT for the AEC industry. Among these systems of ICT, Cerovsek argued that the metrics should provide measures for usability, correctness, complexity, and coverage of modelling constructs [13], Kovács and Micsik specified milestones, discipline designers, indicator metrics, and topics for evaluation using ontology and aggregation rules [47]. However, generalizable findings that may be extended across the industry remain somewhat elusive [33]. ...
Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) play a vital role in the knowledge management (KM) of the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry, which is knowledge intensive and yet faces unique challenges in managing knowledge due to its complex and dynamic nature. In order to show the state-of-the-art of ICTs for knowledge management in the AEC industry, this paper conducts a fifteen-year review of 89 related papers and reports from the industry. A clear line of key technologies evolving from ontology, semantic network to knowledge graph has been revealed from the collected literature. The interactions between different ICTs, as well as their advantages and disadvantages for different knowledge management process are discussed. The study also finds certain imbalance in the development of the industry and academia, as well as cognitive barriers and lack of evaluation standards. Suggestions for future development are also proposed to benefit the research community and relevant practitioners.
... To reduce the complexity of model interpretation, the method of evaluating building information models from the perspective of different disciplines was investigated. This approach would allow decision makers to follow the status and performance of the models at each project milestone, from different aspects, in a comparable manner [72]. ...
This study aimed to ascertain the research status of complexity issues in building information modeling (BIM) diffusion and identify future research directions in this field. A total of 366 relevant journal articles were holistically evaluated. The visualization analysis indicated that management aspects, emergent trends (such as green building, facility management, and automation), and theme clusters (such as interoperability, waste management, laser scanning, stakeholder management, and energy efficiency) are shaping BIM research towards complexity. Areas such as supply chain, cost, digital twin, and web are also essential. The manual qualitative evaluation classified the complexity issues in BIM diffusion research into three types (complexities of network-based BIM evolution, impact of BIM adoption circumstances, and BIM-based complexity reduction for informed decision making). It was concluded that BIM has been shifting towards information models and systems-based life cycle management, waste control for healthy urban environments, and complex data analysis from a big data perspective, not only in building projects but also in heritage and infrastructure, or at the city scale, for informed decision making and automatic responses. Future research should investigate the co-evolution between collaborative networks and BIM artefacts and work processes, quality improvement of BIM-based complex networks, BIM post-adoption behaviors influenced by complex environmental contexts, and BIM-based complexity reduction approaches.
... Therefore, each model, which is developed in accordance with BIM technology, includes geometric information such as the geometry of individual building elements and the spatial relations between them, as well as non-geometric information such as material properties, prices of individual building components, etc. It should be emphasized that BIM does not only apply to the design stage of a building object, but also to its full life cycle (planning, designing, implementation, use/management, demolition) [5]. ...
BIM technology is increasingly used in the Polish construction industry, as well as by public procurement entities. The current Act on Public Procurement Law permits the use of tools of electronic modelling of building data in public investments, which can be understood as BIM technology. The purpose of this article is the quantitative analysis of selected Polish tender procedures in which the contracting authority has indicated the obligation to use BIM technology in the subject of the contract. The analysis included, among others, the subject of the contract, conditions for participating in the procedure, and the criteria that were used to select the best offer. The subject of the article involved the analysis of 20 selected Polish tender procedures. The analysis showed that BIM technology is increasingly required by procurement entities during public procurements. In addition, there can be seen to be a continuous increase in the awareness among contracting authorities concerning BIM technology. In tendering procedures, it is more and more required from the bidders to have knowledge about BIM technology, as well as experience in using it. These aspects are willingly used by procurement entities as a non-price criterion for the evaluation of bids. According to the authors, a correctly prepared investment project, which in the case of public procurements should include the development of the correct tender documentation that includes, among others, the specification of essential terms of the contract and information requirements of the awarding entity with regards to BIM (so-called EIR), is important for the appropriate implementation of the investment when using BIM technology.

Service robot technology is progressing at a fast pace. Accurate robot-friendly indoor localization and harmonization of built environ-ment in alignment with digital, physical, and social environment becomes emphasized. This paper proposes the novel approach of Robot Compatible Environment (RCE) within the architectural space. Evolution of service robotics in connection with civil engineering and architecture is discussed, whereas optimum performance is to be achieved based on robots’ capabilities and spatial affordances. For ubiquitous and safe human-robot interaction, robots are to be integrated into the living environment. The aim of the research is to highlight solutions for various interconnected challenges within the built environment. Our goal is to reach findings on comparison of robotic and accessibility standards, synthesis of navigation, access to information and social acceptance. Checklists, recommendations, and design process are introduced within the RCE framework, proposing a holistic approach.

We use an engineering approach based on state space modeling to develop the emotional engine of an artificial agent. The model is inspired by the latest achievements of human-dog interaction research. Our goal is to build a model that can be easily integrated into existing applications in the field of robotics, computing and communication systems. The proposed model ensures this integration by using simple arithmetics, while being scalable and stable.
To design and construct future wireless-friendly buildings, the wireless-friendliness of buildings, i.e., building wireless performance (BWP), must be evaluated to provide quantitative guidance for future building design. However, the BWP evaluation approach for indoor device-to-device (D2D) networks, which are expected to be widely employed, is absent from the existing theoretical systems of BWP evaluation. Accordingly, this paper presents the first systematic BWP evaluation approach for indoor D2D networks. We create a BWP evaluation metric, blockage gain, by simultaneously considering the impacts of building layouts and building materials. The blockage gain is defined as the spatially averaged coverage probability (SACP) improvement due to the out-of-room interference blockage by the room walls. We derive the theoretical upper and lower bounds of the SACP in the general scenario, and we obtain the empirical formulas of the SACP and the blockage gain by the derived upper and lower bounds. The empirical formulas indicate that the impacts of building layouts and building materials can be decoupled. Moreover, the results show that well-designed rooms can improve the SACP of the indoor D2D network by at least 0.1. This work can provide guidance for architects to design wireless-friendly buildings for indoor D2D networks.
This article discusses a BIM Quality Control Ecosystem that is based on Requirement Linked Data in order to create a framework where automated BIM compliance checking methods can be widely used. The meaning of requirements is analyzed in a building project context as a basis for data flow analysis: what are the main types of requirements, how they are handled, and what sources they originate from. A literature review has been conducted to find the present development directions in quality checking, besides a market research on present, already widely used solutions. With the conclusions of these research and modern data management theory, the principles of a holistic approach have been defined for quality checking in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. A comparative analysis has been made on current BIM compliance checking solutions according to our review principles. Based on current practice and ongoing research, a state-of-the-art BIM quality control ecosystem is proposed that is open, enables automation, promotes interoperability, and leaves the data governing responsibility at the sources of the requirements. In order to facilitate the flow of requirement and quality data, we propose a model for requirements as Linked Data and provide example for quality checking using Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL). As a result, an opportunity is given for better quality and cheaper BIM design methods to be implemented in the industry.
