Let the information of a civil engineering application be decomposed into objects of a given set of classes. Then the set of objects forms the data base of the application. The objects contain attributes and methods. Properties of the objects are stored in the attributes. Algorithms which the objects perform are implemented in the methods of the objects. If objects are modified by a user, the consistency of data in the base is destroyed. The data base must be modified in an update to restore its consistency. The sequence of the update operations is not arbitrary, but is governed by dependence between the objects. The situation can be described mathematically with graph theory. The available algorithms for the determination of the update sequence are not suitable when the data base is large. A new update algorithm for large data bases has been developed and is presented in this paper.
The planning of projects in building engineering is a complex process which is characterized by a dynamical composition and many modifications during the definition and execution time of processes. For a computer-aided and network-based cooperation a formal description of the planning process is necessary. In the research project “Relational Process Modelling in Cooperative Building Planning” a process model is described by three parts: an organizational structure with participants, a building structure with states and a process structure with activities. This research project is part of the priority program 1103 “Network-Based Cooperative Planning Processes in Structural Engineering” promoted by the German Research Foundation (DFG). Planning processes in civil engineering can be described by workflow graphs. The process structure describes the logical planning process and can be formally defined by a bipartite graph. This structure consists of activities, transitions and relationships between activities and transitions. In order to minimize errors at execution time of a planning process a consistent and structurally correct process model must be guaranteed. This contribution considers the concept and the algorithms for checking the consistency and the correctness of the process structure.
SYSBAT - An Application to the Building ProductionBased on Computer Supported Cooperative Work
(2003)
Our proposed solution is to enable partners of a construction project to share all the technical data produced and handled during the building production process by building a system through the use of internet technology. The system links distributed databases and allows building partners to access remotely and manipulate specific information. It provides an updated building representation that is being enriched and refined all along the building production process. A recent collaboration with Nemetschek France (subsidiary company of Nemetschek AG, AEC CAD software leader) focus on a building product repository available in a web context. The aim is to help building project actors to choose a technical solution that fits its professional needs, and maintain our information system with up to date information. It starts with the possibility to build on line building product catalogs, in order to link Allplan CAD entities with building technical features. This paper presents the conceptual approaches on which our information system is built. Starting from a general organization diagram organization, we focus on the product and the description branches of construction works (including last IFC model specifications). Our aim is to add decisional support to the construction works selection process. To do so, we consider the actor's role upon the system and the pieces of information each one needs to achieve a given task.
Der Beitrag beschreibt die Entwicklung eines Softwaresystems zur strukturierten Erfassung und Verwaltung bestehender Gebäude in der Architektur. Die Erfassung erfolgt durch die Aufnahme von geometrischen Daten und Sachdaten in unterschiedlichen Abstraktionsstufen unter Einbeziehung einer vorangehenden Dekomposition. Basis für die Entwicklung eines solchen Systems ist die Analyse und Systematik der Erfassungstechniken, -abläufe und der Gegenstand der architektonischen Bestandsaufnahme. Parallel hierzu erfolgt die Bewertung und Nutzung aktueller Techniken und Werkzeuge der applikativen Informatik. Schwerpunkte der Forschungsarbeit sind die Ableitung einer allgemeinen Gebäude- und Bauteilstruktur, die Einbeziehung aktueller informationstechnischer Verfahren und Werkzeuge und die Entwicklung eines entsprechenden Experimentalsystems. Auf eine Auswahl softwaretechnischer Entwicklungen wird näher eingegangen (objektspezifische Eigenschaften, flexible Geometrieerfassung und Benutzeroberflächen).
