eWork and eBusiness in Architecture, Engineering and Construction
Proceedings of the 12th European Conference on Product and Process Modelling (ECPPM 2018), September 12-14, 2018, Copenhagen, Denmark

eWork and eBusiness in Architecture, Engineering and Construction 2018 collects the papers presented at the 12th European Conference on Product and Process Modelling (ECPPM 2018, Copenhagen, 12-14 September 2018). The contributions cover complementary thematic areas that hold great promise towards the advancement of research and technological development in the modelling of complex engineering systems, encompassing a substantial number of high quality contributions on a large spectrum of topics pertaining to ICT deployment instances in AEC/FM, including:

? Information and Knowledge Management
? Construction Management
? Description Logics and Ontology Application in AEC
? Risk Management
? 5D/nD Modelling, Simulation and Augmented Reality
? Infrastructure Condition Assessment
? Standardization of Data Structures
? Regulatory and Legal Aspects
? Multi-Model and distributed Data Management
? System Identification
? Industrilized Production, Smart Products and Services
? Interoperability
? Smart Cities
? Sustainable Buildings and Urban Environments
? Collaboration and Teamwork
? BIM Implementation and Deployment
? Building Performance Simulation
? Intelligent Catalogues and Services

eWork and eBusiness in Architecture, Engineering and Construction 2018 represents a rich and comprehensive resource for academics and researchers working in the interdisciplinary areas of information technology applications in architecture, engineering and construction.

In the last two decades, the biennial ECPPM (European Conference on Product and Process Modelling) conference series, as the oldest BIM conference, has provided a unique platform for the presentation and discussion of the most recent advances with regard to the ICT (Information and Communication Technology) applications in the AEC/FM (Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Facilities Management) domains.

Jan Karlshoj is Associate Professor at the Technical University of Denmark. He has more than 20 years experience in consulting engineering companies, and has participated in research, development and deployment activities on interoperability, ie a seamless digital communication with high semantic content. He has experience in the design of structures of office buildings and cultural institutions.
He has participated in research and development projects on digital construction, economic gains through the use of IT in construction, sustainable solutions based on the use of building information modeling in Danish, Nordic and international level. He has participated in and led standardization activities of ISO. He's participation in the development of standards in building smart, several of which are adopted by ISO and CEN as official standards.
