Call For Papers

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS

The organizers of Creative Construction 2012 cordially invite you to participate in this conference, which will take place 30 June – 3 July 2012 in Budapest, the capital city of Hungary famous for its old Europe’s charm and breathtaking architecture.
The Chair of the Organizing Committee, Prof. Miklós Hajdu (Szent István University, Ybl Miklós Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Budapest) and the Chair of the International Scientific Committee, Prof. Mirosław Skibniewski (University of Maryland, Dept. of Civil & Environmental Engineering e-Construction Group, College Park, USA) and their team of collaborators are arranging an innovative scientific programme paired with accompanying social events.
The Creative Construction 2012 Conference is an excellent opportunity for collective brainstorming and exploring together the known and unknown boundaries of construction. We are looking forward to seeing you in Budapest in the summer of 2012.

The International Scientific Committee will review all abstracts and full papers. Accepted papers will be included in the ISBN numbered proceedings. Expanded and fully refereed versions of selected papers will be published in a special issue of Automation in Construction, an international research journal published by Elsevier.
Invited and contributed papers will be organized into several parallel sessions. The sessions will be part of distinct Conference streams, and streams are grouped by corresponding technical fields.
All abstracts should be submitted online. This section of the website (www.cc2012.org) opens in January 2012.
