Summary Table of Contents Author Biography

Computer integrated environment (CIE) systems help to reduce fragmentation and enable construction professionals to communicate and collaborate more effectively. Requirements engineering helps define what to develop, how to develop it and when to implement and enables effective computer integrated systems to operate.The framework explained in the book is comprehensive and accessible, and provides a practical set of tools and techniques that enables readers to effectively design, manage and deliver CIE type systems in complex organizations such ... MOREas engineeringIt will be a critically important source of material for organizations bridging the gap between users and developers for the development and implementation of CIE solutions. It also provides a clear understanding and awareness of the human factor in CIE systems development through requirements engineering activities.As long as communication, collaboration, data exchange and sharing are concerns for successful businesses around the world within the construction and manufacturing sectors, the development and implementation of computer integrated environments will be in demand; requirements engineering for the development and implementation of these systems will be critical.

Efficient communication, collaboration, data exchange and sharing are crucial for the success of today's many multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary work environments. The implementation of computer integrated environments (CIE) is increasing and the requirements engineering necessary for the development of these systems is critical.Requirements Engineering for Computer Integrated Environments in Construction provides an important source of information and advice for organizations needing bridge the gap between users and developers in the implementation of computer integrated solutions as well as for consultants providing services to their clients in CIE development.The framework explained in the book is comprehensive and accessible. It provides a set of tools and techniques enabling readers to design, manage and deliver effective CIE-type systems in any complex organization - from construction and manufacturing to the information technology and service sectors. Construction companies for example, can use the framework provided to implement building information modelling to manage the diagnosis, planning, implementation and monitoring stages in BIM adoption.Based on real experiences and lessons learned from many years of system development, this book offers an excellent resource for researchers and postgraduate students interested in CIE development for all multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary work environments.
