Migration from an Individual to an Enterprise Computing Model and its Implications for AEC Research

Overview This paper's focus is to consider the construction industry as essentially an information processing system. In its ideal form, practitioners interact with other practitioners by first interacting with an information processing system that manages various shared external representation of design intent. The underlying assumption (from an information technologist's perspective) is that design data is held in a sufficiently complete representation, and that changes to this representation are transactions that move the representation from one consistent state to another consistent state. We might call this 'enterprise computing' for construction.
