Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The 35th CIB W78 Conference on IT in Design, Construction, and Management will be held on October 1–3, 2018, at Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago. W78 is CIB’s working commission on IT for construction. The scope of W78’s work is broad in terms of the design, construction and occupancy of constructed facilities, but primarily relates to the integration and communication of data, information and knowledge in the facility’s life cycle. Information and communication technologies are relevant to all aspects of the workplace and are seen as a major enabler of productivity improvement. The commission focuses on sophisticated and integrated IT throughout the life-cycle of the design, construction and occupancy of buildings and related facilities.
Extended versions of selected papers presented at the 35h CIB W78 Conference will be published in a Special Issue of Buildings.
