A very interesting talk about human computation (Human Computation) stimulates my interests about how to combine the intelligence of human beings and computer, the information flow in construction management domain is so complicated, and the mixture of human-network and computer-network might be of great potential for collaborattive information seeking for fast and intelligent construction project monitoring (collaborative search).
Just today, I found this thesis, which I should have read many years ago, which is talking about the theoretical foundation of construction design management (http://leanconstruction.org/pdf/P408.pdf), human network, product, computer network, and workflow, how all these things can be formalized together so that we can have a more organized, intelligent, resilient, and robust approach for delivering buildings and infrastructures with less consumptions of the resources, and less emission of waste. That will be beautiful, for a sustainable future.
