posted on 2018-11-08, 16:51 authored by Mohamad Syazli FathiThe growth of mobile communications in recent years has transformed the way in
which people and organisations communicate and interact. lt has revolutionised the
construction industry in the way in which information is exchanged and viewed.
Moreover, the use of various mobile project management tools and enterprise project
management systems in construction management has been on the increase. The
construction industry has greatly benefited from the advances in mobile
communication technologies. However, the existing mobile applications in
construction management only support the delivery of static modes of information
(such as project data, technical drawings, risk assessment etc), it is pre-programmed
and thus not able to take into account the workers' changing context, the dynamic
project conditions and the level of project information. Mobile applications could be
made responsive to users' wishes if they were context-aware. This is done by using
technology that is capable of understanding the users' intentions by taking into
account any relevant supporting information supplied for the purpose. [Continues.]
