Presentation of 'IT in Civil Engineering' at Aalborg University

Prof Per Christiansson
Aalborg University, Denmark



The 'IT in the Building Process' is a new research and eduaction group (December 1997) at the Department of Building Technology and Structural Engineering at Aalborg University under Prof. Per Christiansson.

Research focus is on integration and structuring of IT-tools in the whole building process with special focus on early and late phases of the process. Special research areas, comprising both design and analyses, are knowledge representations and model integration, knowledge communication and discovery, multimedia/VR interfaces to Internet based resources, intelligent buildings and digital infrastructures, building product support information modelling and handling, and languages and systems for meta level integration of building process related information. Demonstrator development plays a central role in the research methodology and in the higly emphasized industry collaboration.
