Multimedia Database Functional Requirements for Construction Applications
Multimedia databases can be vehicles for providing an integrated system of design, maintenance, and construction data, enhancing the information and information interchange in Architectural, Engineering, Construction (AEC) projects. Additionally, this database system can aid in the pedagogical presentation of information in educational settings. Because of the emerging information technologies, the incorporation of digital video, audio, graphics, text, images, etc. into some computerized engineering applications have become commonplace. However, the integration of a multimedia database, which gives the user the ability to query the contents of multimedia data, and more specifically the contents of video data still poses many challenges. This paper introduces the required functionality of multimedia databases in Civil Engineering construction applications to achieve these queries and a description of an integration approach for developing a multimedia model. Afterwards, the application requirements, which provide a testbed for the data modeling approach and the data integration framework for such a system is presented.

Strategic Management in Construction
The traditional philosophy of management in construction, both in academia and in industry, places great emphasis on the ability to plan and execute projects. In contrast, a similar emphasis on strategic management has received less attention in the construction industry. Although the pressures of project performance can often obscure the broader social, economic, and professional context in which strategic management is undertaken, it is these broad contextual areas that make strategic management an essential issue for construction organizations. Rapidly changing social and technological issues are creating a professional environment that will look very different in the coming decades from that experienced in today's organizations. This paper introduces a study of the current strategic management practices of construction organizations. This paper also introduces the concept of strategic management and the areas that organizations must address to compete in the global marketplace. A summary of an industr...
