Abstract
Researchers and practitioners interested in the application of information technology ͑IT͒ in civil engineering gathered in large number at the Delta Centre-Ville Hotel in Montreal, Canada, on June 14-16, 2006.Indeed, the event, the Joint International Conference on Computing and Decision Making in Civil and Building Engineering, brought many people together.The purpose of this conference was to assess the current adoption of IT in the construction industry and-more important-to provide a glimpse of where IT research and development will steer the construction industry.The theme of the Conference was "Building on IT" because this word play provides an allencompassing and forward-looking title; because, more and more, the planning, designing, constructing, and operating of facilities rely on IT; and because the next generation of IT was presented and discussed at the conference and in its proceedings.The title of the Conference has the qualifier "Joint" to reflect the convergence of five independent streams of conferences coming together.It was the first time that so many streams of conferences in this field met at the same time.These streams are the following: • ICCCBE-XI: 11th International Conference on Computing in Civil and Building Engineering; • ICCC-ASCE: 2006 International Conference on Computing in Civil Engineering, sponsored by the American Society of Civil Engineers; • DMUCE-5: 5th Conference on Decision Making in Urban and Civil Engineering; • CIB-W78: 23rd Conference on Information Technology in Construction; and • CIB-W102: 2nd Conference on Information and Knowledge Management in Construction.The convergence of these five conference streams provided a unique opportunity for professionals and researchers who were interested in computing and decision making in a wide range of civil and building engineering disciplines to come together.It also furnished an opportunity to reflect on the research community, which appears to be as fragmented as the industry to which it is devoted.ASCE played an important role in organizing this conference and participating in it.The annual Conference on Computing in Civil Engineering sponsored by ASCE moved north of the border for the first time in its history and joined the other four conference streams at this Joint Conference.Hani Melhem, the coeditor of this journal, played a key role in promoting the conference and

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
