		Forskningsprojekt i CID "IT in Collaborative Design IT_CODE"   Per Christiansson Professor, Ph.D., M.Sc., Aalborg Universitet Poul H. Kirkegaard Lektor, Ph.D., M.Sc., Aalborg Universitet Project The complex project organisation of the building industry together with higher international involvement will take great advantage of the future advanced IT tools. The actual products will also themselves contain embedded and coordinated IT support to facilitate their use and maintenance. The building process will be more integrated, though often through redundant process/product models. Information produced during the whole process will to a higher degree than before support the maintenance and use of he final buildings and provide subsequent access to rich experience data. We believe that is important, (1) to try to recreate the old building master through efficient cooperation between different competencies (client, product suppliers, architects, engineers etc.), (2) to introduce efficient IT tools to support communication and work on shared digital work spaces with access to personal and project data during team collaboration, (3) to provide the design process with adapted time marked building process documentation, (4) to provide the design process access to building process models (geometrical and functional) with high degree of realism through multimedia interfaces. Many new IT tools have to be designed and tried out to fit the future integrated multidisciplinary design process. The new IT supported design environment will in itself serve as a creative tool for knowledge communication for example in connection with learning, idea generation and evaluation. Focus Research is planned to focus on (a) requirements formulation on multimedia and virtual reality interfaces to support client, engineering and architecture collaboration, (b) demonstrator development to support the research process itself as well as to capture, communicate, implement and evaluate ideas together with practitioners, (c) development of a simple building process core model forming fundament for the common digital work space. Close collaboration with industry and practitioners is anticipated. Result The project results are spread through workshop arrangements, publications in international journals, presentation at international conferences and as a publicly available interactive demonstrator on the WWW. Schedule Project start late spring 2000 with 3 years duration. The first 0.5 years will focus on analyses of existing tools and processes, followed by 1,5 year incremental prototyping of a demonstration system with continuous evaluation and usability tests. The final 1,0 year is devoted to results analyses and implementation of web based interactive demonstrator system. top
