TY - CHAP A1 - Rueppel, Uwe A1 - Meißner, Udo F. A1 - Greb, Steffen T1 - A Petri Net based Method for Distributed Process Modelling in Structural Engineering N2 - The contribution introduces a method for the distributed process modelling in order to support the process orientation in Structural Engineering, i.e., the modelling, analysis and management of planning processes. The approach is based on the Petri Net theory for the modelling of planning processes and workflows in Structural Engineering. Firstly, a central and coarse process model serves as a pre-structuring system for the detailed modelling of the technical planning activities. Secondly, the involved planning participants generate distributed process models with detailed technical workflow information. Finally, these distributed process models will be combined in the central workflow net. The final net is of great importance for the process orientation in Structural Engineering, i.e., the identification, publication, analysis, optimization and finally the management of planning processes.

H. T1 - An application-centred framework for distributed engineering applications N2 - The conceptual structure of an application that can support the structural analysis task in a distributed collaboratory is described in (van Rooyen and Olivier 2004). The application described there has a standalone component for executing the finite element method on a local workstation in the absence of network access. This application is comparable to current, local workstation based finite element packages. However, it differs fundamentally from standard packages since the application itself, and its objects, are adapted to support distributed execution of the analysis task. Basic aspects of an object-oriented framework for the development of applications which can be used in similar distributed collaboratories are described in this paper. An important feature of this framework is its application-centred design. This means that an application can contain any number of engineering models, where the models are formed by the collection of objects according to semantic views within the application. This is achieved through very flexible classes Application and Model, which are described in detail. The advantages of the application-centred design approach is demonstrated with reference to the design of steel structures, where the finite element analysis model, member design model and connection design model interact to provide the required functionality.

Verfügbare Kooperationsansätze beschäftigen sich mit versionierten und verteilten Bauwerksmodellen, die auf Basis der Objektorientierung virtuelle Bauwerkszustände beschreiben. Die in diesen zustandsorientierten Modellen unberücksichtigten Zustandsänderungen führen zu derzeitigen Problemen beim Austausch, beim Vergleich und bei der Zusammenführung von versionierten Bauwerksinformationen. Gegenstand der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die Entwicklung eines verarbeitungsorientierten Ansatzes zur ganzheitlichen Betrachtung der Bauwerksmodellierung. Neben der zustandsorientierten Beschreibung eines virtuellen Bauwerks werden zusätzlich änderungsorientierte Informationen in Form von Modellieroperationen in der Modellbildung berücksichtigt. Es wird eine Modellierungssprache definiert, um Operationen formal zu beschreiben. Modellieroperationen bilden eine Verarbeitungsschnittstelle für Objektmodelle, repräsentieren Entwurfsabsichten, reichern bestehende Bauwerksmodelle mit Änderungssemantik an und tragen zur Konsistenzsicherung in diesen Modellen bei. Neuartige Kooperationskonzepte für den Austausch, den Vergleich und das Zusammenführen von versionierten Bauwerksinformationen werden auf Grundlage des vorgeschlagenen Ansatzes entwickelt. Sowohl das Modell als auch die Sprache werden unabhängig von aktuellen Technologien formal beschrieben. Die prinzipielle Anwendbarkeit des vorgeschlagenen Ansatzes wird im Rahmen einer Pilotimplementierung auf Basis eines Open-Source-Systems im Bauwesen nachgewiesen. N2 - Several actors involved in the computer-supported building planning process work together towards a common goal - the design of a building. Available cooperation approaches focus on versioned and distributed building models which describe virtual building states on the basis of the object-oriented method. State changes remain unconsidered and lead to known problems when exchanging, comparing and merging versioned building information. The work presented deals with the development of a processing-oriented approach for the integral consideration of building modeling. In addition to the state-oriented description of a virtual building, change-oriented information is provided by means of model operations. A new modeling language is defined for the formal description of operations. Model operations establish a processing interface for object models, represent design intents, enhance existing building models with change semantics and add to the consistency of these models. New enhanced concepts for cooperation are defined on the basis of the approach presented. These concepts provide functionality for cooperation when exchanging, comparing and merging versioned building information. Both the model and the language are formally described in order to be independent of current technologies. The applicability of the approach proposed is verified in principle by a pilot implementation based on an Open Source engineering system.

N2 - The inaugural dissertation, produced according to the cumulative approach, organises the author’s scientific writings produced between the years 1995 and 1999 into three chapters. Chapter 1 is concerned with questions of integrating energy-saving, resource friendly and health-oriented approaches to building into the planning and decision-making processes. Methodical approaches to determining and evaluating energy and mass flow during the life-cycle of buildings are discussed, a framework for energy-related limit and target values examined and available planning aids and assessment tools analysed. In chapter 2 a system for ensuring quality control in the planning and construction of low-energy houses is introduced and its correspondence to energy passports and building certification methods discussed. Chapter 3 examines the differences and parallels between the ecological assessment of location, business, process and product.

T1 - Collaboration in AEC Design : Web-enabling Applications using Peer-to-Peer Office Communicator N2 - A market analysis conducted by Gartner Dataquest in August 2001 has shown the typical characteristics of the AEC design process. High volatility in membership of AEC design groups and members dispersed over several external offices is the common collaboration scenario. Membership is most times short lived, compared to the overall duration of the process. A technical solution has to take that into account by making joining and leaving a collaborative work group very easy. The modelling of roles of collaboration between group members must be based on a commonly understood principle like the publisher / subscriber model, where the individual that is responsible for the distribution of vital information is clear. Security issues and trust in the confidentiality of the system is a central concern for the acceptance of the system. Therefore, keeping the subset of data that will be published under the absolute control of the publisher is a must. This is not the case with server-based scenarios, sometimes even due to psychological reasons. A loosely bound Peer-to-Peer network offers advantages over a server-based solution, because of less administrative overhead and simple installation procedures. In a peer-to-peer environment, a publish/subscribe role model can be more easily implemented. The publish/subscribe model matches the way AEC processes are modelled in real world scenarios today, where legal proof of information exchange between external offices is of high importance. Workflow management systems for small to midsize companies of the AEC industry may adopt the peer-to-peer approach to collaboration in the future. Further investigations are being made on the research level (WINDS) by integrating the viewer and redlining application Collaborate! into a collaborative environment.

The resulting consortium has large pool of expertise and experience and can be defined as a Virtual Organisation (VO) formed for the duration of the project. VOs are electronically networked organisations where IT and web based communication technology play an important role in coordinating various activities of these organisations. This paper describes the design, development and implementation of a Grid enabled application called the Product Supplier Catalogue Database (PSCD) which supports collaborative working in consortia. As part of the Grid-enabling process, specialised metadata is being developed to enable PSCD to effectively utilise Grid middleware such as Globus and Java CoG toolkits. We also describe our experience whilst designing, developing and deploying the security service of the application using the Globus Security Interface (GSI).

An analyst represents a project manager, planner or any other person, involved in the planning process. Today, planning processes are managed by several geographically distributed planners and project managers. Thus, complexity of such a process rises even more. Prediction of consequences of many planning decisions is not possible, in particular since assessment of a planning advance is not trivial. There have to be considered several viewpoints, that depend on individual perceptions. In the following, methods are presented to realize planning decision support.

This paper reports on progress of a project, which aims to achieve better integrated building and systems control modeling in building performance simulation by run-time coupling of distributed computer programs. These requirements motivate the use of the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), which offers sufficient advantage than communication within simple abstraction. However, set up highly available applications with CORBA is hard. Neither control modeling software nor building performance environments have simple interface with CORBA objects. Therefore, this paper describes an architectural solution to distributed control and building performance software tools with CORBA objects. Then, it explains how much the developement of CORBA based distributed building control simulation applications is difficult. The paper finishes by giving some recommendations.

The Finite Element Method (FEM) is widely used in order to accomplish numerical analysis. Considering the development of computer performance, more detailed FEM models can be analyzed, even on site, with mobile computers. To compensate the increasing amount of data needed for the model input, measures need to be taken to save time, by distributing the work. In order to provide consistency to the model, fedback data must be checked upon reception. A local wireless computer network of ultra-portable devices linked together with a computer can provide the coordination necessary for efficient parallel working. Based on a digital model consisting of all data gathered, structural modelling and numerical analysis are performed automatically. Thus, the user is released from the work that can be automatized and the time needed for the overall analysis of a structure is decreased.
