The COBGI 2024 workshop explores the use, analysis, and integration of 2D/3D digital modelling for the effective and scalable management of built environments. More specifically, the workshop will focus on the challenges and opportunities when integrating Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for the above.
COBGI24 will serve as a forum to present the latest challenges and 
		opportunities in BIM-GIS integration for various applications and 
		services. The workshop will provide an excellent opportunity to 
		demonstrate recent research, developments, technologies, and policies, 
		and to identify emerging tools, trends, and services.
		Suggested topics - not limited to - for submissions are:
BIM-GIS integration for construction, urban planning, and facility 
		management and informed decision-making
		Authors are invited to submit their extended abstract (in English) for 
		oral presentation. The extended abstracts will be peer-reviewed by 
		experts in the field according to their scientific value, impact, and 
		originality of work. Authors of original and innovative extended 
		abstracts will be invited to submit their work as a full paper to be 
		published in a special issue of Technical Journal, free of charge, after
