This proceedings volume chronicles the papers presented at the 35th CIB W78 2018 Conference: IT in Design, Construction, and Management, held in Chicago, IL, USA, in October 2018. The theme of the conference focused on fostering, encouraging, and promoting research and development in the application of integrated information technology (IT) throughout the life-cycle of the design, construction, and occupancy of buildings and related facilities. The CIB – International Council for Research and Innovation in Building Construction – was established in 1953 as an association whose objectives were to stimulate and facilitate international cooperation and information exchange between governmental research institutes in the building and construction sector, with an emphasis on those institutes engaged in technical fields of research. The conference brought together more than 200 scholars from 40 countries, who presented the innovative concepts and methods featured in this collection of papers.

This open access book gathers peer-reviewed contributions presented at the Building Digital Twin International Congress (BDTIC), held in Kaunas, Lithuania on May 14-15, 2025, as part of the SmartWins project. Focusing on digital twins to ensure the transition to a smart, sustainable, resilient and carbon neutral built environment, the contributions highlight the latest findings in this fast-growing field, addressing topics such integral components of smart buildings digitised assessment, indoor environmental quality assessment with smart sensors, IoT and digital twins for assessing the performance of smart buildings, and energy assessment of smart buildings in BIM environment.

Ithasbeenthirteenyearssincetheappearanceofthe?rsteditionofthisbook, and nine years after the second. Meanwhile, chaotic (or nonlinear) dynamics is established as an essential part of courses in physics and it still fascinates students, scientists and even nonacademic people, in particular because of the beauty of computer generated images appearing frequently in this ?eld. Quite generally, computers are an ideal tool for exploring and demonstr- ing the intricate features of chaotic dynamics. The programs in the previous editions of this book have been designed to support such studies even for the non-experienced users of personal computers. However, caused by the rapid development of the computational world, these programs written in Turbo Pascal appeared in an old-fashioned design compared to the up-to-date st- dard.Evenmoreimportant,thoseprogramswouldnotproperlyoperateunder recent versions of the Windows operating system. In addition, there is an - creasing use of Linux operating systems. Therefore, for the present edition, all the programs have been entirely rewritten in C++ and, of course, revised and polished. Two version of the program codes are supplied working under Windows or Linux operating systems. We have again corrected a few passage in the text of the book and added somemorerecentdevelopmentsinthe?eldofchaoticdynamics.Finallyanew program treating the important class of two-dimensional discrete (‘kicked’) systems has been added and described in Chap.13.
