3. 研究趨勢
本次會議發表論文及Poster核心主流的研究主題為BIM與仿真、安全與風險管理、環境可持續設計、基礎設施與災害管理、組織與生產效率、數據遙感技術分析，其他傳統領域如工程教育、計劃控制、合約、採購（PPP）、精益建設等主題佔比普遍較低，Robotic and automation應為新興熱點，側重新技術的應用；Organizational issues受到了普遍的關注，session設置相對較多，但除了本課題組在本次會議發表的成果之外，這裡的Organizationalissue一般聚焦微觀問題，較少關注組織模式、項目治理等宏觀問題。通過與其他學者交流發現，除了傳統領域研究，當前美國學者還普遍關注虛擬實境（VR），BIM，無人機應用等行業熱點，其中對BIM的研究主要關注管理方面的問題。
研究熱點包括IPD，BigData ，Energy,Sustainability , Resilience，Complexity,Behavior, Climate等方面，研究往往聚焦於一個較小的問題，比較微觀，從一個新的切入點來研究傳統問題是較為普遍的做法。如從Behavior出發研究設計優化（E.g.Improving Design and Operation of Office Buildings by Integrating OccupantPreference and Behavioral Data through the Use of IVEs）和 Energy Consumption(E.g. Defining Lighting Settings To AccommodateEnd-User Preferences While Reducing Energy Consumption in Buildings）等；從Resilience出發研究不確定性（E.g. BuildingSafe-to-Fail Project Systems: Assessment of Resilience in Projects usingDynamic Meta-Network Simulation）等。
4. 其他
會議BusinessMeeting除舉行了一些選舉外，兩個權威期刊Journalof Construction and Engineering Management（JCEM）和JournalManagement in Engineering（JME）的主編還報告了期刊2015年的情況以及2016年計劃。其中，2015年兩個期刊的錄用率均為18%，並且美國以外的錄用率更低。JCEM將加快論文的錄用速度，並要求論文的長度不超過雙倍行距30頁。ASCE旗下期刊對專刊的政策也有所調整，主要是不再在雜誌某一期設置專刊，而是根據錄用時間刊登在不同的卷期中，但在網站上會有專刊專門網頁。
