Call for Papers
The University of Florida will be hosting the 2021 ASCE International Conference on Computing in Civil Engineering (i3CE2021). The theme of this conference is IT for Smart Infrastructure and Communities.
Scientific contributions are invited in all emerging areas of computing in the AECO industry, including posters, demonstrations, and industry case studies. All submissions will be reviewed for content and technical merit and organized based on their technical area and/or application context. Best practices and applications focusing on Smart Infrastructure and Communities from non-AECO industries are also invited. Outstanding peer-reviewed research papers will be selected and nominated to a special collection of ASCE Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering.
