About ECPPM

The ECPPM series of conferences was initiated by Prof. Raimar Scherer in 1994 as a joint initiative of several European research projects related to construction information technology. It is closely tied to the European Association of Product and Process Modeling EAPPM. ECPPM was in fact the first conference focusing on BIM, although in 1994 it was named product modelling.

In an interval of two years, these conferences bring together the academia, research, construction industry, software and Web developers to the topic of information management in the building and construction industry.

Notwithstanding the constant and frequent spur of new information technologies, the analysis and modeling of the information as well as the products of the industry and the processes in which they are designed and built remain very important.

ECPPM2016 covers complementary thematic areas that hold great promise for the advancement of research and technological development in the solution of product modeling problems. In this context, ECPPM2016 foresees to attract high quality papers and provide a platform for the cross fertilization of new ideas and know-how under the special theme of the conference. Further, ECPPM conferences have thematically and participatory been open and have attracted numerous researchers from overseas.
