Abstract
During August 22-24, 2007, a joint global workshop on roadmaps for ICT in Construction between FIATECH and Strat-CON was held in Finland. Through active participation of more than 30 international experts the workshop aimed to develop a series of thematic roadmaps based on common topics of interest of the FIATECH and Strat-CON roadmaps. Focusing on information and communication technologies (ICT) and value driven rocesses supported through these technologies seven main thematic areas and their respective visions were identified:
Digital Models: Digital models are the key enablers for integrating, managing, and sharing multidisciplinary views and perspectives of the built environment’s lifecycle information.
ICT for Energy Efficiency & Sustainability: Delivery and use of sustainable and energy-efficient facilities through ICT-based informed decision-making (both human and automated)
Knowledge Sharing & Collaboration Support: Seamless and instant access to the right
information/knowledge at the right time and in any place
Intelligent Constructions: Ubiquitous B2P (B=Building, P=People)
Interoperability: Information sharing without concern of the creating system; Interoperability independent of source, life cycle stage and type; Information to be securely accessible and interpretable across the life of the asset
Network Demand Management: Customer aware and informed of status at all times and receives on-time delivery; supplier aware of customer and project demands and potential barriers as soon as they arise; environmental requirements included in all future transactions
Value Driven Business & Process Models: What You Feel Is What You Get
For each of the seven thematic areas, key industrial problems, and current research/technological gaps were identified. These were followed by definition of the vision, main objectives, current state of the art, and roadmaps covering topics for short, medium, and long term delivery to the industry. Furthermore, for each theme, a set of strategic actions (project ideas) to serve as building blocks for projects were identified.
