ABSTRACT
More than two decades ago, object-oriented
representation of AEC (architecture engineering and construction) projects
started to offer the promise of seamless communication of semantic data models
between computer-based systems used from the design stage to the operation of
the facilities. BIM (building information modelling) emerged and appeared as a
means to store all relevant data generated during the life-cycle of the
facilities. But this upstream view of the built environment, arising from the
design and construction stages, extended to the downstream operations where
building and industrial facilities appeared more and more as huge dynamic data
producers and concentrators while being operated. This created new challenges
leading to what is referred to as ISCs (intelligent and smart constructions).
The current state of the art is that final constructions still contain various
and increasingly versatile control and service systems, which are hardly
standardised, and not interconnected among themselves. Monitoring, maintenance
and services are done by specialised companies, each responsible of different
systems, which are relying on customised software and techniques to meet specific
user needs and are based on monolithic applications that require manual
configuration for specific uses, maintenance and support. We demonstrate in
this paper that the early promises of integration across the actors and along
the life-time of facilities have gone a long way but will only be delivered
through enhanced standardisation of computerized models, representations,
services and operations still not yet fully accomplished 25 years after work
started.
