Author Description

Proceedings of the 2014 International Conference on Computing in Civil and Building Engineering, held in Orlando, Florida, June 23-25, 2014. Sponsored by International Society for Computing in Civil and Building Engineering (ISCCBE), the International Council for Research and Innovations in Building and Construction (CIB) W078, and the Technical Council on Computing and Information Technology of ASCE. This collection contains 283 peer-reviewed papers that discuss the latest in contemporary research into the practical challenges and technological growth and development of integrating computing with civil and building engineering. Topics include: building information modeling; collaborative design and engineering; automated approaches in construction; building simulation, visualization, and analysis; data acquisition, modeling, maintenance, mining, and storage; virtual and augmented reality simulation; infrastructure monitoring, maintenance, and life-cycle management; sustainable building and construction; and education and training. This proceedings will be of interest to practitioners and researchers working with computing technologies in a wide range of civil, construction, and building engineering and management disciplines.
