“…Liu et al (2010) proposed some entity and attribute extensions that were needed in a structural analysis information model by comparing the information requirements in terms of geometry, load, material and analysis results in finite-element analysis software (SATWE) with corresponding entities. Tauscher et al (2009) introduced a creative method for the automated generation of construction schedules by reusing IFC use cases produced previously. It enabled project managers to extract construction schedule information from a BIM model for planning and led to a quick visualisation through four-dimensional (4D) simulations without additional interaction between users.…”

“…It also explores how to demonstrate and apply these newly defined object-oriented entities and relationship entities. Moreover, the context-awareness technology is utilised to facilitate the information feedback approach through a previous use case database (Tauscher et al, 2009). It not only helps to identify and obtain the changes of on-site information in terms of labour force, materials, and time periods, but delivers the best matching use case to the site manager and scheduler.…”

When applying the existing methods of establishing building information models, model users can make construction schedules and cost estimation easily. However, the deviation and modification of schedule and cost plans as well as low data exchange efficiency would be seriously compromised under circumstances of changing, real-time on-site information. This paper serves as a foundation for a large study over 4 years on a construction information model based on building information modelling and context-aware technology. The aim of this paper is to propose a method to develop a prototype model of collaborative construction on building information modelling software to improve the efficiency of information sharing. The research methodology adopted in this paper consists of four steps. A literature survey was conducted; applications and extensions of Industry Foundation Classes model entities relating to logical relationships and construction schedule and cost information were studied. A use-case-based construction schedule-cost information feedback model was explored using context awareness technology and overall similarity measurement. With these concepts, the association between building information models and physical, on-site environment can be built. It is concluded that utilisation of the applications and extensions of Industry Foundation Classes standard, context-aware technology, and of a case-based reasoning approach may contribute to establish a collaborative construction prototype model and develop building information modelling software.

Automating the development of construction schedules has been an interesting topic for researchers around the world for almost three decades. Researchers have approached solving scheduling problems with different tools and techniques. Whenever a new artificial intelligence or optimization tool has been introduced, researchers in the construction field have tried to use it to find the answer to one of their key problems-the "better" construction schedule. Each researcher defines this "better" slightly different. This article reviews the research on automation in construction scheduling from 1985 to 2014. It also covers the topic using different approaches, including case-based reasoning, knowledge-based approaches, model-based approaches, genetic algorithms, expert systems, neural networks, and other methods. The synthesis of the results highlights the share of the aforementioned methods in tackling the scheduling challenge, with genetic algorithms shown to be the most dominant approach. Although the synthesis reveals the high applicability of genetic algorithms to the different aspects of managing a project, including schedule, cost, and quality, it exposed a more limited project management application for the other methods.
