Why Don't We Do It in the Road Ahead?
—Part 1, Infrastructure Realignment
The key trends to which AEC/FM and plant/process technologists should direct this year's management attention and technology budget can be grouped into three clusters: Infrastructure Realignment; Applications Integration; and Security Enhancement. We'll examine the latter two clusters in upcoming issues; this time we look at Infrastructure Realignment, which includes four of the twelve tech trends for 2003:

> Wireless networking
> Web services
> Outsourcing

Laiserin's Lemma™—I/O, I/O, it's off to work we go!
(lemma: a short theorem used in proving a larger theorem)
Now that engineers, architects, constructors and owners are poised to adopt collaborative design via data-intensive, 3D-and-more digital modeling, researchers are studying input/output (I/O) media and methods that may better support the new design tools. From laser scanning and gesture recognition to augmented reality and gamesmanship, the entry, manipulation and viewing/reviewing of design data will be radically transformed.
