Mobile computing in construction (Editorial)
Year: 2004
Type: article
Abstract: Mobile technologies bring new potential to modern information society. Much research is focusing on detailed aspects or single facets of mobile computing, perhaps even too fast for papers to be published. As one technology overtakes another and technical solutions are undoubtedly becoming more consistent and reliable, it is more reasonable to concentrate on general concepts and problems of implanting mobile computing. The A/E/C & FM domain is an excellent example for developing such general concepts of complex problem solutions because of its specific characteristics, such as field work, integration of various project partners, the high level of less formalized process specifications, etc. Mobile computing is the missing link to effectively use IT in an integrated and holistic way in construction especially in the construction and operation phases of built artefacts.
