    The research team has published a paper entitled "A Review on 3D Spatial Data Analytics for Building Information Models" in "Archives of Computational Methods in Engineering", which is an international high-level journal in engineering technology industry. This study reviews state-of-the-art of related research and provides a summary of achievements and challenges in this area. Then, a framework consists of management, analysis, and application of 3D spatial data of BIM and a detailed discussion of each part are proposed, which would give the readers an overview of relevant methods, technologies, and tools. Moreover, potential research directions and open issues for future work are also discussed. The paper enables researchers to get a comprehensive understanding of 3D spatial data analytics of BIM as well as suggestions for future work, and thus makes a solid contribution in this area.

    End up with the 6-month visiting to Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, US. I'd like to express my gratitude to the reception from the cooperative tutor Burcu Akinci. Though time was short, I learned the sectific research and teaching methods in well-known American universities, practiced the opportunities of interdisciplinary subjects, and expericed the American culture life by making friends. I will start a new journey with infinite encourage and motivation in the future. Wish my colleagues and friends in US will be better and have bright futures!

    I visted the School of Construction of Arizona State University on July 19th and the School of Construction Management Technology of Purdue University on July 22th, gave academic lectures on "From Data to Knowledge" and "Key Technologies of BIM Applications in MEP Engineering", as well as the School of Building Construction of Georgia Institute of Technology. Through these communications, I had a better unstanding in the development status and frontiers in the informationization development of civil engineering in US. Thanks for the passional reception from Pingbo Tang, from ASU, Yi Jiang, Jiansong Zhang, Yunfeng Chen, from Purdue, and Xinyi Song, from GeorgiaTech, and other teachers and students during these days.
