Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The developments and advances in computer and information sciences, geospatial information, sensors and Internet of Things devices, artificial intelligence, and other related sectors have significant impacts on the building and construction sciences, engineering, and management. These advanced technologies provide new opportunities for researchers and engineers to formulate innovative solutions in order to address complicated issues more effectively, efficiently, or economically. Nevertheless, the effective incorporation of assorted new technologies and their implementation in different domains for sophisticated applications is also a great challenge. This Special Issue aims to provide insights into how advanced technologies can be effectively adopted and successfully implemented in various kinds of applications in buildings and built environments. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Artificial intelligence applications;
- Robotics and autonomous technology;
- Digitization, visualization, and 3D printing;
- Multi-dimensional/multi-LOD building models;
- High-definition building models;
- SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping/modelling);
- Automation in construction;
- Computer-aided design and engineering;
- Building information modeling;
- Spatial analysis in built environments;
- Sensors and the Internet of Things;
- Indoor/outdoor positioning, navigation, and location-based services;
- Ontology and societal impacts.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Buildings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
