Mobile maintenance workspaces

This paper presents the process of solving unforeseen events on construction sites - a frequent phenomenon throughout the industry. The current process of handling an unforeseen problem is described and contrasted with a future scenario in which I&C technologies are applied to solve unforeseen problems on large construction sites more efficiently: augmented reality, positioning technology, knowledge support and in-volvement of remote experts. The Mobile Maintenance Workspace, a range of applications to support mobile workers in their maintenance work, and its underlying software framework is outlined. The work presented here is currently being carried out in the European Integrated Project CoSpaces.
