The purpose of this study is to design the GIS (Geographic Information System)-based BIM (Building Information Modeling) Objects Visualization System (OVS) Architecture by using Open source BIM Server Cost-Effectively. Recently, the studies related to the facility management using GIS and BIM are being researched world-widely. In this studies, it's important to develop the BIM Server to link the heterogeneous system such as GIS and represent GIS-based BIM objects. To implement it, the trends in related studies were reviewed and the open source-based BIM server architecture was analyzed. And then the architecture considering the BIM server was designed to represent the geometry and property of the BIM object which was stored in BIM server. Lastly, the system by using the proposed architecture was developed.

Recently BIM technology has been expanded for using in construction project. However its spread has been delayed than the initial expectations, due to the high-cost of BIM infrastructure development, the lack of regulations, the lack of process and so forth. In construction site phase, especially the analysis of current research trend about IT technologies, virtualization and BIM service, data exchange such as drawing, 3D model, object data, properties using cloud computing and virtual server system is defined as a most successful solution. The purpose of this study is enable the cloud computing BIM server to provide several main function such as edit a model, 3D model viewer and checker, mark-up, snapshot in high-performance quality by proper design of VDI system. Concurrent client connection performance is a main technical index of VDI. Through test-bed server client, developed VDI system's multi-connect control will be evaluated. The performance-test result of BIM server VDI will effect to development direction of cloud computing BIM service for commercialization.

Recently BIM technology has been expanded for using in construction project. However its spread has been delayed than the initial expectations, due to the high-cost of BIM infrastructure development, the lack of regulations, the lack of process and so forth. Therefore, this research proposes the cloud computing based BIM service for saving the cost of BIM infrastructure development and providing various BIM Services to meet the domestic process. In order to achieve this, we perform a survey on the cloud computing based BIM service and develope the prototype system as the core technology of proposed service. The developed the prototype system consists of the IFC based BIM server for IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) and the viewer for SaaS (Software as a Service). This research also conducts the performance test for their applicability and verifies that the results of this research can be used as core components in the cloud computing based BIM service.

Despite a lot of research on BIM, there is no quantitative study to measure accurately the performance of BIM coordination service. Thus, this study suggested method to measure the performace of BIM coordination services, applying queueing models in the field of management science. To analyze queuing system of BIM coordination services, a group of BIM coordinator were selected. Through focus group interviews with experts were used in the analysis to derive mean arrival rate(${\lambda}$), mean service rate(${\mu}$) of BIM coordination services. Single-server queuing model(M/M/1), multiple server queuing model(M/M/s) is utilized for the BIM coordination services performance measurement in construction phase. This study has significant quantitative performance measurement approaches that can be utilized in the decision-making for the improvement of the BIM coordination services and to support the review of the alternatives accordingly. But There is a limit but it is difficult to take into account the increase or decrease of the cost of alternatives according to the review.

The port BIM technology has many problems such as lack of relevant system, high cost of BIM infrastructure construction, and process difference of existing domestic inter-industry. Since the port facilities as national key industries are managed and operated by public organizations, it is necessary to integrate IT resources and have a system that needs collective construction and joint utilization management. In this paper, we proposed the convergence of cloud computing technology and BIM as a way to reduce the infrastructure cost required for port BIM operation and to provide various BIM services for domestic process. To do this, we collected system requirements based on demand surveys of port staff and designed a BIM browser that provides IFC-based BIM server and customized services to reduce infrastructure cost in cloud computing environment. In terms of infrastructure, we designed cloud-based IaaS to support cost reduction, which is an essential component, and designed SaaS to support customized services in terms of services. We will perform performance verification with focus on whether port BIM servers and browsers have reached a level where they can manage four BIM models with different types and capacities.

In this paper we propose a framework for an Object Relational IFC Server (OR-IFC Server). Enormous amounts of information are generated in each project. Today, many BIM systems are developed by various CAD software vendors. Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) developed by International Alliance for Interoperability (IAI) is an open standard data model for exchanging data between the various BIM tools. The IFC provides a foundation for exchanging and sharing of information directly between software applications and define a shared building project model. The IFC model server is a database management system that can keep track of transactions, modifications, and deletions. It plays a role as an information hub for storing and sharing information between various parties involved in construction projects. Users can communicate with each other via the internet and utilize functions implemented in the model server such as partial data import/export, file merge, version control, etc. IFC model servers using relational database systems have been developed. However, they suffered from slow performance and long transaction time due to a complex mapping process between the IFC structure and a relational-database structure because the IFC model schema is defined in the EXPRESS language which is object-favored language. In order to simplify the mapping process, we developed a set of rules to map the IFC model to an object-relational database (ORDB). Once the database has been configured, only those pieces of information that are required for a specific information-exchange scenario are extracted using the pre-defined information delivery manual (IDM). Therefore, file sizes will be reduced when exchanging data, meaning that files can now be effectively exchanged and shared. In this study, the framework of the IFC server using ORDB and IDM and the method to develop it will be examined.

BIM-based Cloud platform gained popularity coupled with the convergence of Fourth Industrial Revolution technology. However, most of the previous work has not guaranteed sufficient efficiency to meet user requirements according to BIM service. Furthermore, the Cloud environment is only used as a server and it does not consider cloud characteristics. For the processing of High Capacity Data like BIM and using seamless BIM service, Resource management technology is required in the cloud environment. In this paper, to solve the problems, we propose a BIM platform for BaaS and an efficient resource allocation scheme. We also proved the efficiency of resource for the proposed scheme by using existing schemes. By doing this, the proposed scheme looks forward to accelerating the growth of the BaaS through improving the user experience and resource efficiency.
