Summary

As efficient communication, collaboration, data exchange and sharing become increasingly important to the success of construction and manufacturing worldwide, the implementation of Computer Integrated Engineering (CIE) will be in demand and the requirements engineering for the development of these systems are critical.The framework explained in the book is comprehensive and accessible, and provides a practical set of tools and techniques that enables readers to effectively design, manage and deliver CIE-type systems in any complex organization including in engineering, IT, and the service sector.The book will be used for Building Information Modelling in construction companies as it provides tools and techniques for the diagnosis, visioning, planning, implementation and monitoring stages in BIM adoption.It will be a critically important source of material for organizations needing bridge the gap between users and developers for the implementation of CIE solutions as well as for consultants providing services to their clients in CIE development.
