Management, Procurement and Law
Volume 171, Issue 6, December 2018
ICE Publishing has published the latest Issue of theCIB Encouraged Journal Management, Procurementand Law. The theme of this issue is: Recent advancesin construction technology and management.

Papers were invited from areas related to robotics,
digital designs, smart materials, autonomous systems,
renewable energy systems and zero-carbon dioxidesolutions.

EditorialDevelopments in these areas present significant legal
opportunities and challenges, as well as opportunities
and challenges for the procurement and managementof design and construction processes.

There are several dimensions to the challenges
confronting the construction industry along the lines ofupscaling with modern-day knowledge and skills. An
important aspect of the solution is that the industry
must understand, articulate and advance its new
knowledge appropriately from time to time.
In the first quarter of 2017, the editorial advisory
panel of Proceedings of the Institution of Civil
Engineers – Management, Procurement and Law
announced a themed issue on ‘Recent advances inconstruction technology and management’. The
purpose of the themed issue is to harness scholarship
relating to new aspects of construction research andpractice without replicating a conventional train ofthought.

The themed issue call for papers was a success.
Submissions came from virtually every continent on
the planet – from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe andNorth America.
Six papers were accepted, but were published as partof different regular issues; two in volume 170, four involume 171. They all provide robust narratives about
recent advances in technological and management
research and practice.
The areas for further research suggested by each ofthe papers are also intriguing.
