✦ Synopsis

Thirty-four papers from the November 2002 workshop explore the use of computers in civil engineering for structural design, costing and scheduling, management, and modeling. Among the topics are intelligent agents for designing steel skeleton structures of tall buildings, a construction simulation model for production planning at the Pentagon renovation project, and automated methods for document classification in construction management information systems. Other topics include archiving design knowledge for reuse, computing probabilities of costs using cases, and creating a civil engineering thesaurus. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
