Information technology has given rise to changes that are comparable to a revolution to the world. Computers, the Internet, mobile computers, mobile phones, etc. have not only become important parts of our everyday life, but also influenced many industries like AEC (Architectural, Engineering and Construction) industry. In the past two to three decades, the AEC industry has experienced the application of such related technologies as CAD (Computer Aided Design), IMS (Information Management System), DSS (Decision Support Systems), expert systems, VR (Virtual Reality), BIM (Building Information Technology) and so on and the advances are quite significant. The driver of the evolution of the technologies is undoubtedly the persistent work of researchers and the innovative spirit of industrial practitioners. In the process, the platforms such as organizations, conferences, journal and magazines have played their unique roles. The W78 Committee under the CIB (International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction) organization is one of the organizations focusing on the application of information technology in AEC industry and it holds an international conference each year. The CIB W78 2013 conference is the 30th conference of the committee. Up to now, I have attended five times of the conferences. I am impressed by the following points of the conference. First, the conference is well focused, so that you can learn all the hot topics in the conference. Second, you can find the real experts in this field in the conference, so that you can get their help by listening to their presentation and discussing with them. Third, many participants often attend the conference, so that you can make many friends and meet them in the conference. Tsinghua University is honored to organize the conference in Beijing in the golden autumn. The proceedings of the conference is published by Tsinghua University Press. It contains 68 papers covering 4D/nD modeling; BIM and its applications; CAD/CAE/CAFM; cloud/distributed/mobile computing in construction; communication and collaboration technologies; computational mechanics; data and information management; decision support systems; disaster prevention and mitigation; GIS/GPS/RS; IFC, IDM, MVD; information technologies in construction; inspection and monitoring technologies; ontology, knowledge management; performance-based analysis; process/behavior modeling and simulation; RFID, internet of things; smart buildings, infrastructures and cities; intelligent transportation systems; and virtual prototyping/virtual reality/virtual construction. The papers reflect the latest development of the technologies on the application of information technology for the AEC industry. I am convinced that the conference will be a successful one and the proceedings will benefit both the attendants of the conference and the other readers.
