Märksõnad:
Computer integrated environments (CIE) and building information modeling (BIM) are tools for collaborative construction planning using integrated information and communication technology. Requirements engineering concerns the goals, properties, and constraints of such systems; activities related to the acquisition, specification, and maintenance of requirements throughout the system development life cycle; and issues concerning how requirements relate to business processes, work redesign, system and software architecture, and testing and validation. The authors (both of the U. of Salford, UK) of this work address the development of a requirements engineering framework for the development and implementation of CIE and BIM through the presentation of case study projects. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Efficient communication, collaboration, data exchange and sharing are crucial for the success of today's many multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary work environments. The implementation of computer integrated environments (CIE) is increasing and the requirements engineering necessary for the development of these systems is critical.

Requirements Engineering for Computer Integrated Environments in Construction provides an important source of information and advice for organizations needing bridge the gap between users and developers in the implementation of computer integrated solutions as well as for consultants providing services to their clients in CIE development.

The framework explained in the book is comprehensive and accessible. It provides a set of tools and techniques enabling readers to design, manage and deliver effective CIE-type systems in any complex organization – from construction and manufacturing to the information technology and service sectors. Construction companies for example, can use the framework provided to implement building information modelling to manage the diagnosis, planning, implementation and monitoring stages in BIM adoption.

Based on real experiences and lessons learned from many years of system development, this book offers an excellent resource for researchers and postgraduate students interested in CIE development for all multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary work environments.

Arvustused

It thus represents good value for money and will especially be a real benefit to those who are reasonably familiar with (or are involved in) construction informatics research from both academia and industry. The many references cited throughout the book will also serve as a valuable resource to the research/academic community.  (Construction Management and Economics, 28 October 2013)
