Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the recent rapid advancement in information technology, modelling techniques have gained evolving popularity in construction and infrastructure focus area. As such, this Special Issue invites scholars and practitioners to submit technical papers and case studies that are associated with the following two general themes:
- Theories and tools/methods as related to modelling, including building information modelling (BIM), geographic information system (GIS), remote sensing, robotics, additive manufacturing, etc.
- Practical applications as related to the target and/or purpose of modelling including:
- Resilient and sustainable built environment for natural and manmade hazards;
- Human–built environment interactions;
- Built environment modelling;
- Sensor-based infrastructure inventory and assessment (i.e., bridges, roads, water and sewer pipes, tunnels, gridlines, etc.);
- Sensor and sensing technologies in construction automation;
- Robotics in construction;
- Improved project execution (i.e., risks and uncertainties, resource allocation, bidding strategies, contract and claims management, etc.);
- External factors impacting projects environment (i.e., weather, governmental policies, regulations, etc.);
- Information management systems; and
- Virtual design and construction.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Modelling is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
