Construction Automation I Sy-Jye Guo (Prof.), sjguo@ce.ntu.edu.tw Luh-Maan Chang (Prof.), changlm@ecn.purdue.edu Min-Yuan Cheng (Prof.), myc@hp.ct.ntust.edu.tw The session focuses on automation development and its applications on building construction. Automation development involves planning, design, construction, as well as maintenance or renovation of building construction. Recent achievements of automation technologies will be discussed in this session as well. Construction Automation II Ting-Ya Hsieh (Prof.), tingya@cc.ncu.edu.tw Yen Wei (Dr.), yenwei@tcri.org.tw Carl Haas (Prof.), haas@mail.utexas.edu The session affords a unique arena of understanding opportunities and practical examples of applying robotics as well as the related elementary technologies in construction. It covers both recent accomplishments and visions for the future in terms of working examples, improvements and enabling concepts or technologies. Construction Information Technology Shang-Hsien Hsieh (Prof.), shhsieh@ce.ntu.edu.tw Ren-Jye Dzeng (Prof.), rjdzeng@cc.nctu.edu.tw Heng Li (Prof.), bshengli@polyu.edu.hk The session stresses on the advancements in the areas of construction information technologies, including but not limited to Electronic Business / Commerce in Construction, Continuous Acquisition and Life-Cycle Support (CALS) in Construction, Construction Information Systems, and Computer Integrated Construction. Hazard Management Technology Ban-Jwu Shih (Prof.), bjshih@ntut.edu.tw Yeou-Fong Li (Prof.), yfli@ntut.edu.tw The session of hazard management is to identify the risk and vulnerability in construction. Combined with the automated warning system, a better strategy for disaster planning and emergency service can be developed. This session will explore methodologies of incorporating the advancements in computer technology into hazard mitigation to achieve loss reduction and be more responsive to the disaster situations. High Speed Rail Technology T.C. Kao(Dr.), tckao@thsrc.com.tw Hsiang-Hwa Lu (Dr.), hhlu@hsr.gov.tw Shen-Lo Chen The session is focus on the technology of the rail road construction. Especially, the High Speed Rail Project, an undertaking to improve Taiwan transportation infrastructure and is the first project employing the private participation model (BOT model) in Taiwan. Based on this on-going BOT project or other High Speed Rail Projects around the world, there are some research and technologies related to rail road construction can be explored in this session.
