Paper Abstract:
|
The management of civil infrastructure systems has to match (and exploit) the socio-economic changes in the society. Infrastructure projects are interlinked. So must be their sustainability analysis. The economy is embracing knowledge systems. So must do sustainability analysis. Communities are empowered to generate ideas and participate in decision making in many aspects of their lives. So must be the case when it comes to the design of their neighbourhood. However, current practices in infrastructure management do not match the ongoing socio-economic changes and the very needs of sustainability. The aim is to build a knowledge-enabled and socially-savvy SOA platform to represent, negotiate and integrate the planning, design and construction of urban infrastructure at a city level. The platform will be a venue for creating knowledge supply chains to harness the collective intelligence of knowledge hubs to manage multi-project sustainability analysis. Domain specific middleware that can represent, find, link and manage knowledge exchange will roam across this platform to weave a knowledge supply chain to solve problems in sustainable assessment of interlinked projects. Knowledge of these hubs will be presented in three dimensions: human profile, process structures, and software systems, which will be accessible through self-describing mechanis |
