Innovation for Real Estate: Building Information Modeling (Erin Rae Hoffer) -...Virtual ULI
Building Information Modeling (BIM) allows developers to more efficiently plan, design, construct, and manage buildings. BIM creates an information-rich digital representation of the building process from early design through facilities management. Using BIM, developers can visualize designs in 3D, identify structural conflicts, conduct energy analyses, and simulate construction schedules to improve coordination and reduce costs and risks. As BIM adoption increases, it is expected to transform the real estate industry by enabling better design quality, shorter project timelines, and more efficient long-term building management.

How to Create a Rock Star BIM Execution Plan (BEP) and MPDT* (Responsibility ...Fabio Roberti
A BIM Execution Plan (BEP) is a valuable and necessary part of any project in the AEC sector. It is essential when the team needs to work in a collaborative process to ensure that everyone on the project is aligned with the project objectives. A correctly implemented BEP will ensure the project goals are clear and agreed by the wide project team. Communication is a key component of all construction projects. To be successful, it requires many different people working together to achieve the client requirements. A well-built BEP requires the project team to work together and communicate from the very beginning to the completion of the project. This class will explain the importance of the BEP and demonstrate how to create an efficient BEP for post-contract-award which will include the Model Production & Delivery Table (MPDT). The post-contract-award BEP sets out how the information required in the Employer's Information Requirements will be provided.

ETDP 2015 D2 Key Note Preparing for a Digital Built Britain - David PhilpComit Projects Ltd
Keynote - Preparing for a Digital Built Britain
David Philp, Director BIM – EMEA at AECOM, Head of BIM, UK BIM Task Group
The Digital Built Britain (DBB) programme will build a digital economy for the construction industry in support of dramatically improving delivery, operations and services provided to citizens building on the standards and savings delivered by the BIM level 2 initiative. This session will explore how the Digital Built Britain strategy will take the next steps in defining advanced standards, creating new commercial models and identifying technologies to transform our approach to social infrastructure development and construction. The session will look at the need for operational data sets and integration of telemetry and IoT within the Built Environment and a shift towards Level 3 BIM. Level 3 will enable the interconnected digital design of different elements in a built environment and will extend BIM into the operation of assets over their lifetimes supporting the accelerated delivery of smart cities, services and grids.

AI 101: An Introduction to the Basics and Impact of Artificial IntelligenceIndexBug
Imagine a world where machines not only perform tasks but also learn, adapt, and make decisions. This is the promise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), a technology that's not just enhancing our lives but revolutionizing entire industries.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
