Workshop 1

The 1st International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for the Future of Construction (AI4Construction-2024) will be held in Lviv, Ukraine, April 18-20, 2024, in conjunction with the 1st International Conference on Smart Automation & Robotics for Future Industry (SMARTINDUSTRY-2024).

 

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are experiencing rapid advancements, ushering in novel possibilities for the automation, optimization, and decision-making processes within the construction sector. As the construction industry witnesses a surge in data availability, the pivotal role of AI in analyzing and extracting actionable insights has become increasingly imperative. Researchers are actively engaged in this domain, and numerous construction enterprises acknowledge the tangible benefits of AI in enhancing efficiency, reducing costs, and augmenting safety measures.
Consequently, the AI4Construction workshop endeavors to establish a platform for collaboration and idea exchange among industry professionals, researchers, and innovators. Through this initiative, the workshop seeks to address the escalating interest in and adoption of AI solutions within the construction industry.

PEER-REVIEWING

Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by thrее scholars based on technical quality, relevance, originality, significance, and clarity. If necessary, a fourth, additional reviewer will be involved. The Program Committee will use these reviews to determine which papers will be accepted for presentation at the workshop. The result of the review will be announced to the submitting authors by email, along with reviewer comments, if any.

Only accepted papers that will be presented at the workshop will be published in the workshop proceedings.

Due to the COVID’2019 pandemic, the AI4Construction-2024 workshop took the form of an online presentation by invited keynote speakers and presentations of peer-reviewed individual papers.

 

PUBLICATION

Proceedings of the AI4Construction-2024 shall be submitted to CEUR-WS.org for online publication. Proceedings of the AI4Construction-2024 shall be submitted for indexation in Scopus, dblp, and Web of Science.

 

REGISTRATION

Submission and publication of papers (after successful review) at the AI4Construction-2024 workshop, is completely free.
