Purpose and Background
With the rapid advancement of sensing and computing technology and the wide adoption of mobile computing, the architecture, engineering, Construction, and facilities management (AEC/FM) industry has faced a rise in the amount of information and data generated during the lifecycle of capital projects. To deal with a large variety of project data and information to support efficient and effective decision-making, visualization, information modeling, and simulation (VIMS) has become critical in designing, engineering, constructing, and maintaining capital facilities. The objective of this webinar is to present grand challenges in VIMS for the AEC/FM industry in order to assist the academic and industry communities in establishing a future research agenda to solve VIMS challenges.
Primary Topics of Discussion
- 17 VIMS grand challenges were identified by an expert task force in the VIMS committee of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) computing division
- VIMS experts in the AEC/FM areas from both academia and industry participated in a survey to assess the identified challenges, examine the relative importance of the identified challenges, and investigate current practices and future directions of VIMS
- Survey results indicate that several knowledge gaps regarding VIMS challenges between academia and industry still exist, and it is our contention that these particular gaps need to be addressed in future research. These research directions apply to technical issues and sociological/cultural/organizational issues in VIMS challenges
Learning Outcomes
- Describe the activities being developed by the VIMS committee, within ASCE's computing division
