w78 2003 conference overview¶

In 2003 I attended the cib w78 conference in Auckland. I never made a page linking the summaries of the various days together, so here it goes :-) I mention some of the highlights (for me) of every day.

• Workshop day with lots of great demos that were shown, but that really doesn't come out in writing :-( Great morning, though :-)
• First day with an overview of 20 years of w78 research and with Marja Naaranoja and Paul Clarke about information and knowledge.
• Second day with Anders Ekholm on design as problem handling, Rodney Steward on IT impediments for SMEs and Volker Berkhahn on Recognising objects in scanned drawings.
• Third day with David Harrison webservices in the building industry and Per Christiansson Next generation knowledge management systems for the construction industry. (Also read that last paper)
