“…To improve living quality of human beings, smart wall is designed to convey information and atmosphere when perceiving different people passing by [13] . To help occupants escape from fire, a smart fire response guide (FireGuide) is developed to alert occupants as well as to advise the fastest safe escape route [14] . In transportation industry, a driver assistance systems (DAS) was designed to assist inexperienced drivers and to indicate dangerous situation ahead with the help of intelligent vehicles and smart road infrastructure [15] .…”

The primary aim of this study is to investigate the application scenarios of smart construction objects (SCOs). SCOs are construction resources (e.g. machinery, device, and materials) that are made "smart" by augmenting them with technologies conferring autonomy, awareness, and the ability to interact with their vicinity. The research starts from a brief review of recent developments of smart technology in different industrial sectors including construction. Based on the definition and properties of SCOs, interviews and site visits are conducted to investigate how SCOs could be applied under different scenarios of the construction industry. Perspectives for future studies are proposed in order to fully realise their potentials. The research encourages a wider adoption of SCOs and smart technologies in improving current construction practices. It also provides academia with a platform for further exploring the innovative uses of SCOs in construction

Previous research work in context quality primarily focuses on identifying and modeling it. However, assuring context quality is no less challenging than modeling it. Difficulties lie in acquiring high-quality context from the context providers whose quality and availability can not be guaranteed. In this paper, we propose a context quality assurance strategy QACA based on the least square error, by leveraging the redundancy of context providers. In this strategy, redundant imprecise and unstable context providers are used to constitute a more precise and stable context provision. Such a strategy provides a theoretical basis to implement a specification based context acquisition middleware.

The primary aim of this research is to define smart construction objects (SCOs), the fundamental building blocks of future construction. SCOs are construction resources (e.g. machinery, device, and materials) that are made "smart" by augmenting them with technologies conferring autonomy, awareness, and the ability to interact with their vicinity. This "smartness" can enable better decision-making in construction. Understanding of SCOs, however, is still in its infancy. Informed by theories on ubiquitous computing and general smart objects, this paper firstly defines the core properties that differentiate SCOs from conventional construction objects. Secondly, representative scenarios of the use of SCOs are given to illustrate the new workflow with enhanced smartness in the future. Next, using prefabrication construction as an example, this paper further elaborates SCOs by using Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) Extensible Markup Language (XML) and exploring their software/hardware representations. This is the first-ever research to articulate canonical SCOs and their core properties, computing applications, and representations. More specific and applicable SCOs are compellingly desired as the future study. Properly linked to building information modeling (BIM) and Internet of Things (IoTs), SCOs can enable a safer, greener, more efficient, and more effective construction 2 system that has ever been seen.
