Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ever-growing collection of techniques in the fields of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Building Information Modelling (BIM) is reshaping the construction industry worldwide. Meanwhile, it has also posed new challenges with respect to the development of the corresponding computational models and software solutions. Against this backdrop, this Special Issue will bring together transdisciplinary researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders pioneering state-of-the-art studies on these fronts. Accordingly, it will cover a wide range of engineering and interdisciplinary topics in the IoT and BIM, including computation and data-intensive applications, artificial intelligence-informed planning, deep-learning-based remote sensing, and green building techniques. Moreover, cutting-edge research into the optimal resource management of construction projects and sustainable construction is also of interest.
