Semantic Grid Roadmap
No full textConclusion: While the first level of information systems was built to assist humans in real world processes, the increasing complexity of the ITC infrastructures calls for a second level of information systems that will assist in making a better use of ITC. All business process roadmaps are foreseeing a strong role of ICT in the future. Semantic grid has a potential to be a highway in these roadmaps or a dead end into which substantial effort will be placed, but that will not address the needs of the users. We will not know, unless we try it out, looking carefully at the technology pull in some areas and applying the technology push if a breakthrough seems possible

A model-based approach for building fire emergency management
No full textThis paper focuses on a systematic analysis of the specifications and requirements of real-time control systems adapted to emergency management. Furthermore, the presented work use developed system modelling language (SysML) diagram notations. The system is made of evacuation, compartments, and fire detection to enable a framework inside which can be integrated with real-time management tools. The system can be integrated with BIM. Therefore, a future vision is predicted and proposed for the current research field. The opportunities concerning the integration between simulation environments for requirements verification over the cycle are concluded
Serving building product information with design knowledge servers
No full textBuilding product information is a valuable resource for building design, but the number of different producers and products makes it hard for a single person to keep informed of all available products. A solution to this problem would be computer-based product information repositories, from which designers could fetch up-to-date information. The Design Knowledge Server (DesKs) approach has properties that make it function as such a product information repository. Compared to other approaches, it provides enhanced functionality that will benefit especially architects in early design phases. The paper introduces the main characteristics of DesKs and describes the way design information is modelled in this approach. It focuses on how a technology called Feature Type Recognition (FTR), which is part of this development, can be used to find product information
LIMITS OF INFORMTION TECHNOLOGY IN ENGINEERING
No full textABSTRACT: Excitement about possibilities of artificial intelligence has been shared in engineering professions as well. It has been predicted that because engineering designs (unlike architectural) are subject to &quot;objective &quot; evaluation, they could just as well be made by intelligent computer software. In this paper, the author claims that this is wrong. The optimistic predictions are founded on the beliefs that the strong AI and cognitive science community take for granted- that mentally engineers deal with models of objective reality, that together with others engineers they take part in various processes which result in building products, and that one of such processes is design which is in fact problem solving where a best solution is selected from a set of possible ones; and that these processes could be reproduced mechanically. There has been quite a lot of criticism of the strong AI approaches, particularly after extensive research in AI did not live up to its promise. The author's main line of work has not been AI, but he was surprised how many of the arguments of the AI critics can also be applied to some other research directions in engineering, particularly to that of product-model based integration. In this paper the author uses the theory of &quot;hermeneutic constructivism &quot; to explain the limitations of the &quot;representation-centred &quot; engineering software, warns against extrapolation from limited prototypes and suggests some alternate directions, such as weak AI, agents, groupware and workflow tools that could lead to useful engineering software as well
SciX project: lowering the technical, economic and social barriers to open scientific publishing
No full textThe scientific publication process has been so far only marginally affected by the possibilities of the Internet. The reason is a lack of sound business models and pilots to demonstrate the ultimate benefits of free scientific publication. A team of universities, Internet publishers and applied research institutes proposes to demonstrate these benefits and re-engineer parts of the scientific publication process by: (a) building a fully functioning on-line service, where scientific work, including results of EU projects, would be available for free (with content from architecture, engineering and construction - AEC) and where a virtual on-line community of authors and readers would meet. To support a business model where minimal costs are associated into the process it will enhance the technologies for the (b) self organising maintenance and (c) intelligent user interfaces and finally (d) define business models where scientific work would be wrapped by commercial sites that would make the content more appealing to the industrial audience
