PROJECT TITLE:

Governance Model for Cloud Computing in Building Information Management - 2015

ABSTRACT:

The AEC (Architecture Engineering and Construction) sector could be a highly fragmented, knowledge intensive, project primarily based industry, involving a variety or terribly different professions and organisations. The business's strong data sharing and processing needs means that the management of building knowledge is complicated and challenging. We tend to present a information sharing capability utilising Cloud Computing, with two key contributions: 1) a governance model for building information, based on in depth research Pand industry consultation. This governance model describes how individual knowledge artefacts inside a building data model relate to every alternative and how access to this information is controlled; 2) a prototype implementation of this governance model, utilising the CometCloud autonomic cloud computing engine, using the Master/Work paradigm. This prototype is able to successfully store and manage building knowledge, provide security based mostly on a defined policy language and demonstrate scale-out in case of increasing demand or node failure. Our prototype is evaluated both qualitatively and quantitatively. To enable this evaluation we have a tendency to have integrated our prototype with the 3D modelling software-Google Sketchup. We have a tendency to conjointly evaluate the prototype's performance when scaling to utilise additional nodes in the Cloud and to see its performance in case of node failures.
