Ibrahim Yitmen received his PhD in Architecture from Istanbul Technical University, Turkey. He is currently an Associate Professor in Management of Construction Production at Jönköping University, Sweden since February 2018. His research focus is mainly on Innovation in Construction involving socio-technical issues regarding digital transformation in AEC industry, and his recent special interest is on BIM-Enabled Cognitive Computing for Smart Built Environment, Augmented Reality/Mixed Reality for Cognitive Buildings, Blockchain Technology in Construction Supply Chains, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and BIM Integration for Construction Safety Planning and Monitoring, and Automated BIM-based Construction Project Progress Monitoring. Dr. Yitmen have published more than 70 research papers in refereed international journals and in peer reviewed conference proceedings. He is currently one of the guest editors of the MDPI Journal Applied Sciences for the Special Issue "Cognitive Buildings". Dr. Yitmen serves on the scientific committees of the international conferences held by the International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction (CIB), American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), and European Council on Computing in Construction (EC3). He has been is an active Member of American Society for Engineering Management, USA since 2010.

"The book provides knowledge in the Building Information Model (BIM)-enabled cognitive computing methods for smart built environment involving cognitive network capabilities for smart buildings, integrating Augmented Reality/Mixed Reality in cognitive building concepts, cognitive Internet of Things (CIoT) for smart cities, Artificial Intelligence applications for cognitive cities, and cognitive smart cities using big data and machine learning. It reviews ongoing development of BIM-based and data science technologies for the processing, analysis, management, modeling, and simulation of big and context data and the associated applicability to cognitive systems that will advance different aspects of future cognitive cities."- James A.
