Computer-based information technologies have been extensively used to help industries manage their processes and information systems become their nervous center. More specifically, databases are designed to support the data storage, processing, and retrieval activities related to data management in information systems. Database management systems provide efficient task support and tremendous gain in productivity is thereby accomplished using these technologies. Database systems are the key to implementing industrial data management. Industrial data management requires database technique support. Industrial applications, however, are typically data- and knowledge-intensive applications and have some unique characteristics (e.g., large volumes of data with complex structures) that makes their management difficult. Product data management supporting various life-cycle aspects in the manufacturing industry, for example, should not only to describe complex product structure but also manage the data of various life-cycle aspects from design, development, manufacturing, and product support. Besides, some new techniques, such as Web-based design and artificial intelligence, have been introduced into industrial applications. The unique characteristics and usage of these new technologies have created many potential requirements for industrial data management, which challenge today’s database systems and promote their evolvement.

At the present stage of the development of the construction industry, based on the principles of sustainable development, special attention should be paid to the formation of construction waste. Reserves for improving the level of efficiency of waste management can be found in the application of modern information technologies and their adaptation to resource-saving problems. The use of information systems is advisable at all stages of the life cycle of a building. Today, the technology of building information modeling (BIM) is actively developing, which can significantly reduce the amount of waste generation in construction. This is possible with its implementation at the design stage, in order to avoid irrational design decisions, collisions, etc. Information systems for data transmission allow rapid exchange of information between project participants, promptly warn about changes in space-planning decisions, materials, structures and equipment. At the stage of operation, in the presence of the information model of the building, it is possible to create a planning system for the organization of works of major overhaul or reconstruction. This article also proposes a description of the functions that an information system must have aimed at coordinating the management of construction waste in the region.

Concept Classification

The generalization of the concept of the task in terms of information environments of construction [ISB] is performed. The approach to the presentation of such concepts as construction issues, construction problem, ontology, idea, concept, classification of problems, tasks, directions, objects included in the staging part of the tasks taking into account the specifics of the tasks solved within the developed information technologies in construction issues. The paper defines and investigates on the basis of methods of construction geodesy the actual tasks of construction, design, modeling, monitoring and their totality in the field of construction by means of information theory. An approach to the description of the technical condition of a construction object on the basis of information modeling in the management of the construction process and information modeling within the life cycle is proposed and described. Information modeling is a process, the results of each stage of which, ie information models of the building, differ greatly from each other depending on the stage of the life cycle of the object and the requirements for modeling in solving emerging problems. The construction object strongly depends on the stage of its existence: if during the design it is virtual, and during construction it gradually finds a real embodiment, then at a long stage of operation the building enters a period of stability and is no longer subject to significant changes. An information model is a variable object that depends on the range of tasks to be solved. Using the methods of construction geodesy in the field of construction, the field of problems, class of problems, the concept of the problem, the state of the problem, subtasks, chains of problems, problem solving and the result of solving the problem, the relationship between problems setting the transformation of aggregation, merger, integration. The urgency of the task from a theoretical point of view is determined by the expansion of the ontology of construction as a science, from an applied point of view is determined by the possibility of accurate formalization of regulatory information and documentation in construction.

Most of the industrial organizations, including SMEs, need to quickly react and adapt to the changing market conditions imposed by globalization, such as new sustainability directives or new type of customers. The fulfillment of these requirements on time is a must so as to remain competitive in the global markets. Since data management information systems are already present in almost all the corpus of industrial enterprises as custom developments or standard PLM solutions, the natural technical evolution that aims to provide an effective answer to these changing market conditions comprises the shifting from a data management perspective towards a process management view. Hence, the challenge is how to manage business processes that build upon existing information systems so as to encourage business agility, efficiency, and interoperability. The proposed approach roots on the Business Process Management (BPM) discipline and leverages process optimization through the systematic modeling and reengineering of business processes accompanied by supporting interoperable and configurable eco-services, which are conceived as sustainability-aware services designed to optimize some aspects of the product life-cycle through eco-constraints management.

Phishing, as a type of information attack, has been used by intruders for selfish purposes for quite some time. They are very popular in the criminal world because it is much easier for a person to make certain profitable actions than a program. With the advent of new technologies, this type of attack has gradually adapted to the new conditions of engagement with its victim. Cloud services have become a great modern and widespread tool for phishing campaigns. The use of such services has given to malicious actors a number of significant advantages over the use of their own computing resources. The relative cheapness and ease of exploitation of these technologies has played an important role. The problem of information security with using cloud technologies is that this type of attack is difficult to detect, even more to prevent, without significantly affecting the comfort of using end users of information systems. The article analyzes the relevance of this type of attacks based on real data. We considered the algorithm of their work during a life cycle and analyzes the use of the basic available security methods of protection, their feasibility and problems of use. The analysis showed that not all modern security methods are capable of detecting and preventing phishing attacks, which use public cloud services. Even a combination of several or all methods cannot guarantee high protection for users against phishing threats. In the article were mentioned some examples of phishing campaigns that took place during 2019 and used such popular public cloud services as Azure Blob storage created by Microsoft and Google Drive developed by Google. A basic list of tips was also provided that would increase the level of security for internet users in order to reduce the risk of potential data compromise or its consequences.

This paper presents a systematic mapping (SM) study with the aim to determine how Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodologies and technologies contribute to energy-related analyses over the course of the entire building life cycle. The method adopted in the study is based on a set of seven research questions. We used a mixed technique combining co-citation analysis and bibliographic coupling in order to analyze the publications’ datasets for the period 2010–2020. The main advantage and novelty of this study are that the joint dataset from the Scopus and Web of Science databases was used to develop the keyword map. The main findings of this study indicate that many BIM-based applications can be used to analyze the building energy performance at all stages of the building life cycle. However, the applications of BIM in conjunction with other information technologies are limited and are still in the initial stage. In the future, the main improvements should be focused on process, model, system, tool, use and information modeling. The most promising long-term solution is an open BIM framework based on open standards, which allows the integration of BIM and energy simulation tools and satisfies specific data exchange requirements.

To ensure safer driving conditions on highways, state highway agencies are exploring the use of new technologies that will improve the flow of information about hazardous road conditions. These technologies are called Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS). The objective of this paper is to provide a systematic methodology for highway agencies to evaluate the costs and benefits associated with implementing RWIS. This objective was achieved through the development of a life cycle cost-benefit model for RWIS. This analysis tool provides highway agency decision makers with a methodology through which different RWIS implementation alternatives can be evaluated from economic, qualitative, and environmental perspectives. A case study demonstrating the use of the RWIS cost-benefit model also is included. The purpose of the case study is to evaluate whether or not it is cost-beneficial to implement an RWIS on Interstate 20 near Abilene, Texas. The model determined that it was cost-beneficial to implement this system.

Concept Of Information

The analysis of the main provisions of two concepts: "The concept of application of construction information modeling in the management of the life cycle cost of public facilities" (Project) was developed at the National Academy of Public Administration under the President of Ukraine (NASU) by a group of experts led by Professor V.S. Kuybida and “Concept of Implementation of BIM - Construction Information Modeling in Ukraine” (Project) of the EU International Technical Assistance “Assistance to the Organization of the Government of Ukraine in Improving the Management of the Infrastructure Project Cycle”. The developers of the first Concept identified the principles, but the implementation of these principles in Ukraine requires the improvement of the current system of relations in the investment-construction-operational process, changes the traditional mechanisms of the industry and construction management through innovation. The second Concept presents the results of a comprehensive study in general of the problems of implementation of information technology, without a deep study of the state of the construction industry of Ukraine. The analysis of the main provisions of the two concepts allowed to identify the principles that should be the basis for combining three life cycle models: design, construction, operation - from the first stage of design to the reconstruction or liquidation of the object, in order to use them to innovate and improve competitiveness of objects at all stages of a life cycle and influence on work of the construction enterprises in market conditions. The educational component of the Concept as a whole does not cause objections, but requires specification of a number of decisions at the level of the Ministry of Education of Ukraine, universities, specialties and departments. In general, the combination of the two concepts provides a lot of historical and methodological material for the educational process and can be the basis for the educational process of information technology. Simultaneously, the analysis of the two concepts requires attention to differences, conclusions and generalizations that contradict the real situation in the industry and require a single system of terms.
