The Design Navigator
A building design system has no bridge the gap between the complexity of the design information, resulting from the artifact itself, the large amount of laws, regulations, and restrictions,...

Multiple Objectives, Uncertainty and Routing Decisions for Hazardous Materials Shipments
Explicit consideration of multiple objectives and uncertainty is important in hazardous materials transportation, particularly in regulating routes or making routing decisions. Application...

The Building Code Desktop for Engineers?
Joint work in progress by John A. Martin and Associates and International Conference of Building Officials to develop an electronic building code information system is presented. This...

A Multimedia Information System for Buildings and Campuses
A multimedia information system currently under development for storage and retrieval of site and building related information is presented. The system is being designed with university...

Interdisciplinary Communication of Design Critique in the Conceptual Design Stage
Computer tools provide little support for the communication of design concepts and problems across disciplines. Our objective is to help bridge the communication gap between architects...

Agent-Based Technology for Facility Design Software Integration
The application of a novel technology called Agent-Based Software Engineering to facility design software integration is presented. The technology is founded on the notion of design agents...

Architecture of an Object-Oriented Product Model Prototype for Integrated Building Design
The proposed integrated building design system consists of a product modeling framework represented by a general product model and several partial knowledge bases, a conventional CAD system,...

Knowledge Mapping for Facility Scope Modeling
This paper demonstrated how knowledge mapping can be applied to develop standard scope templates for facility scope management. We first develop several examples to illustrate this idea....

Conceptual Cost Estimating: A Hybrid Neural-Expert System Approach
This paper presents a hybrid neural-expert system approach for developing conceptual cost estimates based on historical data of construction projects. The proposed hybrid neural-expert...

Explanation Facilities for Intelligent Engineering Tutors
Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) provide a method for humans to interact with a computer to learn about a particular topic. Usually, the ITS system has as part of its components a knowledge-based...

POE System Development Using Personal Computers
This is a report concerning personal computer utilization such as CAD and spreadsheets which are often used establish the investigation, analysis and evaluation method. These are based...

Constructors' Approach to CIC Based on Preparation of Construction Production Information
To improve productivity in the construction industry; much research and development is being done - on CAD systems, construction management systems, robotics, computer graphics, etc. Many...

Development of an Integrated System for Structural Design of Buildings Using OODP Method
This study serves as a starting point for the development of an integrated system in the structural design domain. In this paper we describe the issues that arise in the integration throughout...

Using Finite Element Analysis to Derive the Coefficient of Subgrade Reaction
The coefficient subgrade reaction is a concept used to generate spring constants which are commonly used to model the foundation subgrade in the analysis of mat foundations. This paper...

A Constraint-Based Composites Design Advisor
Most engineering problems, because they involve mathematical relations (constraints) on real valued quantities (objects), can be reduced to constraint networks. The authors speculate that...

A Dynamic Mapping Application for an ATIS
A dynamic mapping application for an Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS) is described. The application requires tracking maintenance vehicles so that paths can be displayed indicating...

Building Object-Oriented Systems for Diagnostic Problems in Civil Engineering
In recent years, rehabilitation and renovation of existing buildings and roads have grown to occupy a significant share of all civil engineering projects. Proper timing of rehabilitative...

Applying Constraint Satisfaction Neural Networks to Multiple Views' Data Partitioning in Building Engineering
A typical building engineering process involves multiple project participants and several computer applications. These participants and applications have their own views of the underlying...

Computer Assisted Conceptual Structural Design of Steel Buildings
The design quality of a building is mostly determined during the conceptual design stage. Computers, however, have not been used effectively to handle the conceptual design of building...

A Model and Realization of Intelligence CAD System
