Advances in ICT in Design, Construction and Management in Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operations (AECO): Proceedings of the 36th CIB W78 2019 Conference

The CIB – International Council for Research and Innovation in Building Construction – was established in 1953 as an association whose objectives were to stimulate and facilitate international cooperation and information exchange between governmental research institutes in the building and construction sector, with an emphasis on those institutes engaged in technical fields of research. The CIB is organized in working groups, of which the W78 is responsible for IT in construction.
This volume is a collection of papers presented at the 36th Annual Conference of the CIB W78 work group held at Northumbria University in Newcastle, UK in September (18th-20th), 2019. The conference brings together more than 130 scholars from over 30 countries, representing research undertaken all over the world.
The papers embody state-of-the-art in research on digitalisation in built environment and encompass major topics including IoT, Digital Twins, Cyber-Physical Systems, Building Information Modelling. As such this volume serves as a source of reference for researchers in ICT applications in design, construction, operation and maintenance for the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operation industries across the world.
