Abstract:
Accompany with China's economic dramatic growth, construction industry of china has experienced huge leverage. Chinese construction enterprise, one of the main participants in the industry, has also received a golden chance of development and expansion. There are more and more enterprises have gone out of the national boundary to pursue further growth and prosperity in the international market. In order to help their expansion in the international market more efficiently, an evaluation framework of construction enterprise's international performance was formulated on the basis of Balance Scorecard. Then, a case study was conducted to illustrate the application of evaluation system. In the case study, a Chinese construction firm and other four top international construction firms were selected to carry out comparison analysis. The findings provide an insight into the weakness that influence in-ternational development of Chinese construction enterprises and also help practitioners to timely adjust their strategy of international operation to ensure international business success.

Abstract:
Enterprise Data Center is the master control center of the data information and business application system. It offers an integrated business support platform for an enterprise. In building the storage system of an en-terprise data center, many types of storage technologies and associated equipment will be provided for selection. Since the cost budget of information system building is limited in engineering and survey enterprises, it is always a challenge in the building of a data center to select a data storage system with large volume, flexible extensibility and high safety in a rational way. This article introduces how China Electronics Engineering Design Institute has devel-oped and built a practicable and reliable data storage system with high cost performance for centralized storage and backup management by the application of IP SAN storage infrastructure as well as the information system manage-ment platform development by itself.

Abstract:
The use of Information and Communication Technology(ICT)has improved the efficiency of informa-tion management in the construction industry and brought productivity benefits to the construction process. Current ICT systems have been extended to the site office, but ICT support on actual work sites still need further development to benefit from advances in ICT. The emergence of Mobile Computing(MC)has the potential to improve on -site infor-mation management and enhance information flow throughout the site. This paper aims to provide insight into the area of mobile computing in construction, and help construction personnel to understand and accept these new technolo-gies. This paper introduces the concept of mobile computing and discusses the use of mobile computing on construc-tion sites. It then analyses the potential, advantages and challenges in using mobile computing on construction sites. Finally, this paper provides a vision for the future research of using mobile computing in construction.

Abstract:
A new approach of parametric design was named Variational design, which has high efficiency in structure design modifications consisting of simple elements such as points, straight lines and arcs. The article mainly introduced VDS modules in CCD. VDS provides the ability to assign parametric constraints to geometric ele-ments. By defining the parameters and calculating equation and constraints, the drawings in different views can be co-variation with dimensions changing. There was also a case of the bio-reaction tank design with VDS to illustrate the function of Variational design and CCD in details.

Abstract:
When buildings are being decorated inside or side, poisonous paint will be used as the final treat-ment. During the spraying, there would be some accidents painters or other people nearby get poisoned because of breathing the poisonous air. Commercial software Stream is used to simulate the processing of paint diffusion, to re-construct the scene of accidents. Through analyzing the regulation of paint distribution, clear the reason of the acci-dent.

Abstract:
In recent years, the development of Information Technology (IT) gives the construction industry a powerful potential to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of information exchange and therefore bring productivity benefits to the whole project life-cycle. Facilities Management (FM) in the maintenance stage of the whole life-cycle also needs the implementation of information technology. This paper introduces the concept and development of Facilities Management. Then the necessary of using IT in Facilities Management is analyzed and the implementation of IT for the management of facilities is discussed. Finally, this paper forecasts future research directions and the future development of IT in Facilities Management.

Abstract:
To respond to our national goals of developing a low-carbon economy and achieving energy saving, construction industry has to change the developing concept, and increase executive power of exploiting IT in restructuring and transformation of construction enterprise on enterprise management mode, production and management methods, project management processes.In the execution of the three elements (personnel, strategy, operations), the paper argues that the construction enterprises should focus on information technology strategic planning, informa-tion-based corporate training and project management processes redesign in the process of using information technology to transform and upgrade traditional industries.It will change the backwardness of the construction industry of high consumption, high pollution and lowefficiency, and accelerate the industrial restructuring and upgrading.

Abstract:
There is almost no doubt that BIM will become the key technology of AEC (Architecture, Engineer?ing and Construction) industry for next stage.In comparison with CAD, BIM1 is transforming both tools and contents of facility building and operation.Accordingly it's more difficult and complex to understand and implement BIM than CAD.On the other handBIM is expectedto have broader anddeeper impact on the industry.Here the author is trying to provide an answer on the question of " What is BIM" from three aspects: the position of BIM in AEC, howto measure a BIM project and the potential uses of BIM.
