Conference themes and topics

New methods and tools to support the effective data collection were developed worldwide in the last ten years. Many of producers are coming at market with new technology, which determines the revolutionary evolution of methodology. The questions of effective application and evaluation of new technology, their reliability and operability have to be discussed actually. The second but very important question is the quality of these instruments and data processing software, too.

The aim of the conference is to bring together professionals in the field of engineering surveying and facility management, to discuss the new technologies, their applicability and operability. The conference discussion will be focussed on present-day questions of laser scanning, exploitation of laser scanners in industry surrounding, for dynamic deformations, data acquisition for facility management. The topics of the conference are the following:

• present-day problems of engineering surveying
• methods and technologies, trends in development of engineering surveying
• engineering surveying procedures for industry (power plants, nuclear facilities, etc.)
• industrial metrology in production, assembling and finishing processes, in-situ calibration of used technology
• lasers and laser measurement systems, with special emphasis on terrestrial laser scanning
• new technology for deformation measurement
• new techniques for as-built documentation and facility inventory
• data integration in facility management, exchange, provision and presentation of facility management data in computer networks
• industrial and city information systems

The conference programme consists of the plenary session and of discussions in special sections. Discussions in each section will be organized to avoid time overlaps in their programme.
