Une approche par les mod\`eles pour le suivi de l'activit\'e de construction d'un b\^atiment. Bat'iViews : une interface multi-vues orient\'ee gestion de chantier

TL;DR

The paper presents Bat'iViews, a multi-view interface for construction project management based on a model-driven approach to facilitate cooperation among actors with different perspectives.

Contribution

It introduces a novel multi-view interface and a model-driven framework for managing diverse views in construction project collaboration.

Findings

Prototype developed for construction context visualization

Model transformations enable user interaction management

Supports navigation across multiple project views

Abstract

Cooperation between actors in design and construction activities in architecture is an essential stake nowadays. In professional practices the actors involved in construction projects use numerous tools. The project is unique but the "views" that actors manipulate are various and sometimes fundamentally different. Their common characteristic is that they partially represent the cooperation context through a specific point of view. "Bat'iViews" suggests to the actors a multi-view interface of the context and enables to navigate through the different views. This proposition is based on a model-driven approach. We distinguish between "context modelling" and modelling of concepts represented in each "businessview". A model integrative infrastructure allows us to develop the prototype and to manage user interaction through the definition of models' transformations.
