Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The activities related to the design, construction, operation and maintenance of buildings and infrastructure generate an enormous variety and quantity of knowledge. Currently, the majority of this knowledge is not capitalized in the building and construction industry due to a number of factors, such as the fragmentation of the industrial chain, the one-of-a-kind products used in the industry, the complexity of the construction site, the difficulties in collecting and reusing data from operational and maintenance activities, etc.
This Special Issue titled “Knowledge Management in the Building and Construction Industry” aims at collecting research results that address the advancement in knowledge management practices in the building and construction industry.
Papers on new theoretical and technological advancements, as well as practical applications and case studies within the area of knowledge management, are invited.
The building and construction industry is increasingly interested in technological developments such as BIM, GIS, machine learning, artificial intelligence, etc. Research works that combine the use of such technologies with the area of knowledge management are especially welcome.
