Paper title: Modeling and implementation of smart AEC objects: An IFC perspective
Authors: Halfawy M R, Froese T
Summary: Smart AEC objects are an evolutionary step that builds upon past research andexperience in AEC product modeling, geometric modeling, intelligent CAD systems,and knowledge-based design methods. Smart objects combine the capability torepresent various aspects of project information required to support multidisciplinaryviews of the objects, and the capability to encapsulate "intelligence"and "knowledge" by representing behavioral aspects, design constraints, and lifecycle data management features into the objects. An example implementation ofsmart objects to support integrated design of falsework systems is discussed. Thepaper also discusses the requirements for extending existing standard industrywidedata models, specifically the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC), to supportthe modeling of smart AEC objects.
