U.S.-Germany Cooperative Research on Model-Based Constructibility Analysis

该奖项支持斯坦福大学的Martin Fischer教授和一名研究生与德国慕尼黑工业大学岩土与建筑工程研究所的a . Schub教授及其同事在土木工程研究方面的合作。两个小组都在研究将资讯科技应用于建筑项目管理，但他们在项目规划和控制方面的专长互补。斯坦福小组的优势在于建筑规划方面，规划与产品和设施的计算机辅助设计模型的联系，以及工程系统和过程的符号建模。这家德国集团在建筑项目的时间和成本控制、利用信息技术进行实时进度和成本控制方面拥有专业知识，而且它与建筑行业有着密切的联系，这将有助于验证研究结果。这两个研究小组的共同努力很有可能实现他们的共同目标，即开发施工方法的计算模型，以改进现有的施工规划、调度和成本估算系统。

This award supports Professor Martin Fischer and a graduate student from Stanford University to collaborate in civil engineering research with Professor A. Schub and colleagues of the Institute for Geotechnical and Construction Engineering of the Technical University of Munich, Germany. Both groups are conducting research in the application of information technology to construction project management, but they bring complementary expertise in project planning and control to the joint effort. The strength of the Stanford group lies on the construction planning side, the link of planning to product and computer-aided-design models of facilities, and in the symbolic modeling of engineering systems and processes. The German group brings expertise in time and cost control of construction projects, the use of information technology for real-time schedule and cost control, and it has close links to the construction industry which will be useful in validating the research. The joint effort of these two research groups is very likely to achieve their mutual goal of developing computational models of construction methods in order to improve existing construction planning, scheduling and cost estimating systems.
