eduBIM2021: 7e Workshop on teaching & research in BIM (Building Information Modelling) Arts et Métiers ParisTech - 151, boulevard de l'Hôpital - 75013 PARIS Paris, France, December 1-2, 2021

Recent advances in Building information modelling (BIM) and its emphasis on effective information management have improved the efficiency of delivery and performance by catalysing increasingly innovative ways of working in the overall AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) domain. Implementing BIM open standards allows better strategic decisions and improved predictability through better risk management. Digital tools and technologies allow handling the complexity of information exchanges in the construction domain, but there is still a growing need for interoperability among the different software systems involved. Indeed, while digitalization comes with many advantages, it does not automatically ensure interoperability, especially not semantic interoperability.

Today, in the context of a construction project, only syntactic interoperability can be reached and by constraining every actor to use the same software environment. Issues do arise whenever a different software or tool is used by an actor to query or produce information, whatever form such information may take (models, spreadsheets, drawings, certificates, programmes, etc.). Indeed, AEC projects are complex systems that require intensive collaborative effort from all stakeholders involved, along with a complete understanding of the cause and effect of all its inputs. Without these, it is impossible to have an early identification of deviations from plan, left alone the possibility to implement corrective actions earlier enough to prevent a negative outcome. Efficiency, safety, and accuracy in such projects require a common stakeholder understanding of the information exchanged. There is a need for approaches that allow computers to handle human expert knowledge and know-how. In other words, AEC projects need semantic interoperability among actors, tools and technologies involved. The flexibility, expressiveness but also the ability to explain all the deductions made, have allowed ontology-based approaches (using Semantic Web technologies and Linked Data principles) to be identified by international standardization organizations (e.g. buildingSMART International, ISO) as fully addressing the interoperability issues mentioned above.

This year at its 7^th edition, EduBIM gathers teachers, researchers and trainers through meetings and exchanges around the general concept of BIM. The network of experts and practitioners addresses all training levels and all specialties involved and maintains a strong relation with the enterprises from the domain, namely through the National MINnD Project (at the origin of EduBIM). More specifically, the EduBIM Scientifical Workshop gathers a community of researchers and industrials interested in the latest research advancements around BIM. This year's edition will give a strong focus to research domains such as Knowledge Management for BIM, the Digital Building Twin, and Smart Construction, through a call for research approaches tackling interoperability of data, information and knowledge through the life cycle of a facility or an infrastructure.

Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.

Expected papers shall be 12 pages maximum, references included, accompanied by 2 abstracts (in French and English) and 5 key words (in French or in English). Papers will be reviewed by two independent reviewers and validated by the scientific committee.

Proposals must be submitted on the platform EasyChair before 30^th of June 2021.

Proceedings of the 2021 EduBIM research workshop will be published as book chapters, thus with an ISBN reference.
