| dc.description.abstract | This paper examines integrated computer systems for the construction industry—in particular, for “medium-sized” contractors who carry out much of the construction work performed in this country. The main focus of the paper is to evaluate the practical barriers, challenges, and opportunities facing the design and development of these integrated systems. The paper addresses the practical organizational and computing context in which such systems must be used, identifies the major project views or perspectives adopted by both project participants and software applications, describes the major areas of potential benefit offered by integrated systems, and outlines three major design and development areas that must be addressed for future systems. In this last section, the paper briefly introduces a number of projects carried out by the authors that address some of these design challenges and presents a road map for an ongoing research program for computer-integrated management tools for the construction industry. | en_US |
