Advances in Construction Performance Prediction Techniques: Perspectives for Sustainability

Dear Colleagues,

Successful completion of a sustainable construction project necessitates periodical monitoring of actual performance and taking corrective actions if necessary. For this, feasible and optimal performance should first be planned so that it can be compared to actual performance. Until now, the construction industry has striven to develop various tools and methodologies that can systematically predict planned performance, such as time, money, quality, information, labor, equipment, materials, and so forth.

This Special Issue is to solicit original theoretical, methodological, and empirical research papers associated with advances in construction performance prediction techniques. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Simulation
• Statistical techniques
• Genetic algorithms
• Artificial neural network
• Expert system
• Case-based reasoning
• Artificial intelligence
• Virtual reality/augmented reality
• Smart construction
• Big data

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. 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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
