Abstract
Cloud computing is a hot research topic and is quickly gaining recognition and application in combination with Building Information Modeling (BIM). However, since there is still lack of an authoritative definition of cloud computing, different parties in Architectural / Engineering / Construction (AEC) industry may have very different understanding on what is qualified as BIM cloud computing. This paper proposes a system under which some of the currently available cloud computing frameworks are classified and the adoption of cloud computing in a specific context can be assessed, and reviews and compares several currently available BIM cloud computing frameworks under this system. The BIM cloud computing frameworks compared include dedicated cloud services for AEC industry such as Revit Server, Revit Cloud and STRATUS, and general purpose cloud services such as Advance2000 and Amazon. The proposed system can be used by IT implementers in the AEC industry when making decisions on adopting cloud computing for BIM applications.
