报告题目：AEC行业与第四次工业革命
内容简介：
建筑、工程与施工行业负责设计与建造各类建筑及其他设施、交通基础设施、通信网络、电网、配水与污水收集系统等诸多重要复杂系统，并涵盖其运营及废弃处理的全过程。这些系统需要工程师为其整个生命周期及衍生流程提供持续的状态感知、评估与前瞻性决策。在当前第四次工业革命时代，一系列新型数字技术正消弭物理世界与数字世界的边界，为我们创造开发新工具的机遇——这些工具能够实现持续状态感知与主动决策，从而更高效地管理正常与异常状态下的建筑及基础设施系统。
目前已有众多技术进展与研究项目支持或初步支持这一愿景。不仅是电气工程师、计算机工程师和计算机科学家，土木工程师同样能够且应当参与实现这一宏观愿景。
本次讲座中，Soibelman教授将介绍其研究团队提出的理念及研究成果。该团队致力于将新兴信息与通信技术、大数据概念、智能建筑、智能基础设施系统、施工机器人技术、机器学习与人工智能，应用于广泛定义的基础设施系统及相关流程（如规划、设计、施工、设施/基础设施管理、环境监测），以提升这些系统的可持续性、效率、可维护性、耐久性及整体性能。
Abstract:
The architectural, engineering, and construction industry is responsible for the design construction, operation, and decommission of buildings and other facilities, transportation infrastructure, telecommunication networks, the power grid, water distribution and wastewater collection systems among many other important and complex systems. Those systems will require more and more that engineers provide a continuous state awareness, assessment and proactive decision making for the complete life cycle of the systems and the processes it creates. Today, during the current 4th industrial revolution, a new group of available digital technologies are allowing us to blur the lines between the physical and digital world creating opportunities for the development of tools that will allow continuous state awareness and proactive decision making to manage buildings and infrastructure systems in both normal and abnormal conditions more efficiently and effectively.
There are many technological developments and research projects that already support or begin to support this vision. Civil Engineers, not just electrical and computer engineers and computer scientists can and should be involved in delivering this overall vision.
At this talk professor Soibelman will introduce his vision and work developed within his research group that focus on the application and exploration of emerging Information and Communication Technologies, big data concepts, smart buildings, smart infrastructure systems, construction robotics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to a broadly defined set of infrastructure systems and associated processes, such as planning, design, construction, facility/infrastructure management, and environmental monitoring, so as to improve their sustainability, efficiency, maintainability, durability, and the overall performance of these systems.

About the Speaker:
Professor Soibelman obtained his BS and MS Degrees from the Civil Engineering Department of the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. He worked in the construction industry for 10 years as a chief engineer of a geotechnical engineering company, as a developer and construction manager, and as an owner and president of an engineering company before moving in 1993 to the US where he obtained in 1998 his PhD in Civil Engineering Systems from the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
In 1998, he began his academic career as an Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In 2004, he joined Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) as an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, where he was promoted to Professor in 2008. In January 2012, he became Chair of the Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Southern California (USC), a role he held until June 2021.
Over the past 30 years, his research has focused on advanced data acquisition, management, visualization, and mining to support the construction and operation of complex infrastructure systems. He has published more than 250 works, including books, book chapters, journal articles, conference papers, and technical reports. His research has been supported by numerous organizations, including the NSF (where he received a CAREER Award and several other grants), NASA, DOE, the U.S. Army, NIST, IBM, Bosch, IDOT, and RedZone Robotics, among others.
He is the former Editor-in-Chief of the ASCE Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering. His professional recognitions include the ASCE Computing in Civil Engineering Award (2010), the FIATECH Outstanding Researcher CETI Award (2012), the ASCE Richard R. Torrens Award (2016), and the ASCE Construction Institute Construction Management Award (2017). He was elected ASCE Fellow in 2013, appointed Viterbi Dean Professor at USC in 2016, and named a Distinguished 1,000 Talent Professor at Tsinghua University in Beijing. In 2019, he was elected to the National Academy of Construction; in 2020, he was appointed Fred Champion Estate Chair in Engineering at USC; in 2021, he was elected an ASCE Distinguished Member; and in 2022, he received the ASCE Peurifoy Construction Research Award.
