Examples such as car, ship and airplane manufacturing industries utilize process setups and techniques, that differ significantly from the processes and techniques used by the traditional building industry. One important difference between the building and other industries is that no prototypes are trialed and tested before manufacturing. This fact causes the design stages to be highly iterative without implementing prototype performance data into the global design process. Evolutionary design i.e. is one technique that aims to adapt the biologic process of evolution to engineering. This technique could have the potential benefit of reducing the design iteration from concept creation to construction. The paper identifies possible differences between the industries and the analysis of the benefits from adapting Evolutionary design to concept creation, evaluation and optimization based on building performance criteria. This paper summarizes the latest research findings documented in subject related literature. Furthermore the iterative character of building design will be detailed by stating key results from design team observations. The final conclusions will indicate reasons why techniques as evolutionary design were not yet successfully integrated to building design.

The parametric and geometrical part of CMO with Extensions is developed within the EU project Proficient. The nature of the Semantic Web with support for multiple inheritance and bidirectional relations is kept; this means an alternative way to store typical parametric behavior scripts. This paper describes the generic upper-ontology created to make this possible, the tools used to visualize the parametric geometry and some of the new Modelling Guidelines we developed during development of CMO with Extensions and several test cases. Within the EU project Proficient a link to existing data was very important; therefore import/export from/to the open standard IFC was researched. A beta version for conversion in both directions (IFC => CMO and CMO => IFC) of the geometry is created and will be discussed.

We identify thirteen characteristic 'ICT-related' Trends which, together, have the potential to address the identified Priority Areas (Knowledge Management, Legal & Contractual Aspects Management, Quality & Performance Management, Total Life-cycle/Supply-chain Management and Human Aspects Management) and satisfy in our view all associated identified business process -related requirements of the various stakeholders identified in [ROADCON-D3]. These trends have been classified according to the "Change Level" dimension of the ROADCON Cube.

In fact, a complete software infrastructure for the integration of knowledge base systems is presented. This environment is fully compliant on one hand with the ATLAS modeling methodologies and more generally speaking with the STEP modeling methodologies and on the other hand with the STEP implementation techniques and particularly the SDAI (Standard Data Access Interface - ISO 10303) specification.

The objective of eConstruct is to develop, evaluate and demonstrate how the next generation Internet can be used to improve meaningful communications in the European Building and Construction industry, supporting future eCommerce and eBusiness. The paper presents the goals of the project, discusses the chosen solution, evaluates the results obtained so far and recommends directions for further R&D. Though the paper globally presents the results of the project as a whole, typical eCommerce aspects will be dealt with in more detail (other papers describing other eConstruct results in detail have already been published, or will be published shortly).

The specification and realisation of an information infrastructure for storage and remote access to electronic documents and information in the large will promote the integration of product related material such as engineering product data, marked up documents, electronic messages, and so on. Such an infrastructure appears to be a sound candidate for the implementation of future distributed standardised electronic document and information management systems. The main features of such infrastructures is the underlying COAST CORBA based platform, and the use of WEB compliant technologies and standards that will assess the Internet and Intranet. The backbone of the VEGA platform is the COAST (COrba Access to STEP models), a CORBA based integration platform that gives transparent access to distributed data specified by EXPRESS schemata. Around this COAST core, several services are provided for the virtual enterprise which include: the loading and management of EXPRESS schemata and STEP data; automatic and transparent configuration and management of the COAST; the schema interoperability service and the workflow management system.
