TY - THES A1 - Hauschild, Thomas T1 - Computer Supported Cooperative Work-Applikationen in der Bauwerksplanung auf Basis einer integrierten Bauwerksmodellverwaltung T1 - Computer Supported Cooperative Work Applications for the Design of Buildings based on an integrated Building Model Management N2 - Gegenstand der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die Konzeption und prototypische Umsetzung von Techniken des Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) im Rahmen einer integrierten objektorientierten und dynamischen Bauwerksmodellverwaltung zur Unterstützung der Bauwerksplanung. Die Planung von Bauwerken ist durch einen hohen Grad an Arbeitsteiligkeit, aber auch durch eine schwache Strukturierung der ablaufenden Prozesse gekennzeichnet. Besonders durch den Unikatcharakter des Planungsgegenstands \'Bauwerk\' ergeben sich signifikante Unterschiede zum Entwurf anderer, durch Serienfertigung produzierter Industriegüter. Zunehmend wird die Planung von Bauwerken in Virtual Enterprises ausgeführt, die sich durch eine dynamische Organisationsstruktur, geographische Verteilung der Partner, schwer normierbare Informationsflüsse und eine häufig stark heterogene informationstechnische Infrastruktur auszeichnen. Zur rechnerinternen Repräsent! ation des Planungsgegenstands haben sich objektorientierte Bauwerksmodelle bewährt. Aufgrund der Veränderlichkeit der Bauwerke und deren rechnerinterner Repräsentation im Laufe des Bauwerkslebenszyklus ist eine dynamische Anpassung der Modelle unumgänglich. Derartige in Form von Taxonomien dargestellte dynamische Bauwerksmodellstrukturen können gemeinsam mit den in Instanzform vorliegenden konkreten Projektinformationen in entsprechenden Modellverwaltungssystemen (MVS) gehandhabt werden. Dabei wird aufgrund der Spezialisierung und Arbeitsteilung im Planungsprozess von einer inhaltlich verknüpften Partialmodellstruktur, die räumlich verteilt sein kann, ausgegangen. Die vorgeschlagenen Methoden zur Koordinierung der Teamarbeit in der Bauwerksplanung beruhen auf der Nutzung von CSCW–Techniken für \'Gemeinsame Informationsräume\' und \'Workgroup Computing\', die im Kontext der als Integrationsbasis fungierenden Modellverwaltungssysteme umgesetzt werden. Dazu werden die zur d! ynamischen Bauwerksmodellierung erforderlichen Metaebenenfunk! tionalitäten sowie Ansätze zur Implementierung von Modellverwaltungskernen systematisiert. Ebenso werden notwendige Basistechniken für die Realisierung von MVS untersucht und eine Architektur zur rollenspezifischen Präsentation dynamischer Modellinhalte vorgestellt. Da klassische Schichtenmodelle nicht auf die Verhältnisse in Virtual Enterprises angewendet werden können, wird eine physische Systemarchitektur mit einem zentralen Projektserver, Domänenservern und Domänenclients vorgestellt. Ebenso werden Techniken zur Sicherung des autorisierten Zugriffs sowie des Dokumentencharakters beschrieben. Zur Unterstützung der asynchronen Phasen der Kooperation wird der gemeinsame Informationsraum durch Mappingtechniken zur Propagation und Notifikation von Änderungsdaten bezüglich relevanter Modellinformationen ergänzt. Zur Unterstützung synchroner Phasen werden Techniken zur Schaffung eines gemeinsamen Kontexts durch relaxierte WYSIWIS–Präsentationen auf Basis der Modellinformationen! verbunden mit Telepresence–Techniken vorgestellt. Weiterhin werden Methoden zur Sicherung der Group–Awareness für alle Kooperationsphasen betrachtet. N2 - The thesis covers the conceptual design and the prototypical realisation of Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW)– techniques within the scope of an integrated, object-oriented, dynamic model management system for the support of building planning activities. The planning of buildings is characterised by a high degree of collaboration but by a weak structuring of the processes, too. Significant differences between the design of buildings and industrial goods produced by series production are implied by the uniqueness of a building. Increasingly, the planning of buildings is accomplished by Virtual Enterprises. These are characterised by a dynamic organisation structure, geographic dispersion of the involved planning experts, information flows, which are hard to standardise, and a frequently very heterogeneous information-technology infrastructure. Object oriented building models have proven to be a suitable base for! the binary representation of planning subject information. Due to the changeability of both building structures and their binary representation during the building life cycle, a dynamical adaptation of the models is indispensable. Dynamic building models, which are represented by taxonomic information, can be handled together with actual project information, which is stored in taxonomy instances within an appropriate model management system. Due to the specialisation and the division of labour in the planning process, a semantic linked but spatial distributed partial model structure is applied. The recommended methods for the coordination of teamwork in the planning process are based on the application of CSCW-techniques for \'Shared Information Spaces\' and \'Workgroup Computing\' in the context of model management systems acting as an foundation for planning information integration. The required meta level functionalities for dynamic building modelling and appropriate! implementation approaches for modelling kernels are systemat! ised. The necessary base techniques for the realisation of model management systems are explored. An architecture for the role specific presentation of dynamic model content is introduced, too. Due to the inadequacy of conventional multi-tier models for an application in Virtual Enterprises, an appropriate physical system architecture with a central project server, domain servers and domain clients is introduced. The thesis covers techniques, which ensure the authorised access to information and the authenticity of planning documents, too. For an adequate support of the asynchronous phases of collaboration, the Shared Information Space is supplied with mapping mechanisms for the propagation and user notification of changes in the relevant planning information. Synchronous collaboration can be performed by means of relaxed WYSIWIS-presentations connected with telepresence mechanisms in order to create a shared context for the planners. Furthermore, methods for the provis! ion of group-awareness for all co-operation phases are treated.

A1 - Akinci, Burcu A1 - Wang, Hongjun T1 - Towards Domain-Oriented Semi-Automated Model Matching for Supporting Data Exchange N2 - The process of matching data represented in two different data models is a longstanding issue in the exchange of data between different software systems. While the traditional manual matching approach cannot meet today’s demands on data exchange, research shows that a fully automated generic approach for model matching is not likely, and generic semi-automated approaches are not easy to implement. In this paper, we present an approach that focuses on matching data models in a specific domain. The approach combines a basic model matching approach and a version matching approach to deduce new matching rules to enable data transfer between two evolving data models.

T1 - Data acquisition, processing and management systems for a Canadian bridge monitoring project N2 - This paper will present a number of technical aspects for one of the most elaborate instrumentation and data acquisition projects ever undertaken in Canada. Confederation Bridge, the longest bridge built over ice covered seawater has been equipped with the state of the art data acquistition devices and systems as well as data transfer networks. The Bridge has been providing a fixed surface connection between Prince Edward Island and Province of New Brunswick in Canada since its opening in 1997. The Bridge has a rather long design service life of 100 years. Because of its large size and long span length, its design is not covered by any existing codes or standards worldwide. The focus of the paper is to introduce the data acquisition, transfer, processing and management systems. The instrumentation and communications infrastructure and devices will be presented in some details along with the data processing and management systems and techniques. Teams of engineers and researchers use the collected data to verify the analysis and design assumptions and parameters as well as investigate the short-term and long-term behaviour and health of the Bridge. The collected data are also used in furthering research activities in the field of bridge engineering and in elevating our knowledge about behaviour, reliability and durability of such complex structures, their components and materials.

While these methods produce very detailed models of the scanned scene, useful for obtaining as-built drawings of existing structures, the associated computational time burden precludes the methods from being used onsite for real-time decision-making. Moreover, in many project life-cycle applications, detailed models of objects are not needed. Results of earlier research conducted by the authors demonstrated novel, highly economical methods that reduce data acquisition time and the need for computationally intensive processing. These methods enable complete local area modeling in the order of a minute, and with sufficient accuracy for applications such as advanced equipment control, simple as-built site modeling, and real-time safety monitoring for construction equipment. This paper describes a research project that is investigating novel ways of acquiring, integrating, modeling, and analyzing project site spatial data that do not rely on dense, expensive laser scanning technology and that enable scalability and robustness for real-time, field deployment. Algorithms and methods for modeling objects of simple geometric shape (geometric primitives from a limited number of range points, as well as methods provide a foundation for further development required to address more complex site situations, especially if dynamic site information (motion of personnel and equipment). Field experiments are being conducted to establish performance parameters and validation for the proposed methods and models. Initial experimental work has demonstrated the feasibility of this approach.

The central task that is carried out during conceptual design is the synthesis of the structural system. This paper proposes a methodology for the synthesis of structural solutions. Given the nature of architectural constraints, user-model interactivity is devised as the most suitable computer methodology for driving the structural synthesis process. Taking advantage of the hierarchical organization of the structural system, this research proposes a top-down approach for structural synthesis. Through hierarchical refinement, the approach lends itself to the synthesis of global and local structural solutions. The components required for implementing the proposed methodology are briefly described. The main components have been incorporated in a proof-of-concept prototype that is being tested and validated with actual buildings.

We specifically describe the requirements on product and process models and an approach for representing and reasoning about construction specifications to enable automated detection and assessment of construction deviations and defects. This research builds on the previous research on modeling design specifications and extends and elaborates concept of contexts developed in that domain. The paper provides an overview of how the construction specifications are being modele d in this research and points out future steps that need to be accomplished to develop the envisioned automated deviation and defect detection system.

Dies trägt dazu bei, den gesamten Lebenszyklus eines Bauwerkes durchgängig über 3-D-Modelle beschreiben zu können. Im ersten Abschnitt werden grundlegende Überlegungen zum Einsatz von PLM/PDM-Technologien im Bauwesen angestellt. Im Anschluß daran wird die herkömmliche Ausschreibungsmethodik analysiert. Die Unterschiede zwischen einem konventionellen Leistungsverzeichnis und einem dreidimensionalen Bauteilkatalog (Objektdatenbank) hinsichtlich der Datenstruktur werden dargestellt. Hieraus abgeleitet werden Methoden und Prozesse bei der Erstellung einer 3-D-Leistungsbeschreibung entwickelt. Dazu wird eine geeignete Benutzer-Schnittstelle eines dreidimensionalen Bauteilkataloges vorgestellt. Schließlich werden praxisrelevante Probleme bei der Verwendung von Bauteilkatalogen erörtert. Ein wesentlicher Baustein ist die Kalkulation. Hier werden Kalkulationsmethoden basierend auf einem zweidimensionalen Leistungsverzeichnis und einem dreidimensionalen Bauteilkatalog miteinander verglichen. Ergänzt wird dies um Lösungen zur Anbindung von elektronischen Marktplätzen an den Bauteilkatalog zum Zweck der Preisbildung. Schließlich wird ein Ausblick gegeben, wie eine Synthese zwischen dreidimensionalem Bauteilkatalog und textlichen Standard-Leistungsbeschreibungen erreicht werden kann.

Compared to ordinary low order formulation (h-elements) in conjunction with an adaptive mesh refinement in each optimization step, the use of high order finite elements (so called p-elements) has several advantages. However, compared to the h-method a higher order finite element analysis program poses higher demands from a software engineering point of view. In this article the basics of an object oriented higher order finite element system especially tailored to the use in structural optimization is presented. Besides the design of the system, aspects related to the employed implementation language Java are discussed.
