Invitation for Papers:

The 4th ICITG aims to address the latest developments in applications of information technologies and artificial intelligence to geo-engineering. Topics of the conference cover any topics related to the applications of information technologies in geotechnical engineering, geo-environmental engineering, or engineering geology. These include, but not limited to, the following topics:

• Sensors and sensing technologies for geotechnical or geological applications
• New geotechnical instrumentations, data collection and transmission technologies
• 3D geological modeling
• Application of Artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning in geotechnical engineering
• Use of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) in laboratory and field works
• Digitalisation for site investigation, in-situ or laboratory testing
• Data driven geophysical investigation and interpretation methods
• Big data and database processing for better use of geotechnical data for geotechnical design
• Applications of imaging technologies for geotechnical design or geological data presentations
• Building Information Modeling (BIM) applied to geo-structures and underground constructions
• Virtual reality and augmented reality
• Intelligent geomaterials, geosynthetics and geosystems
• Case studies in design, constructions and maintenance

For the conference, only extended abstract needs to be submitted for the consideration for oral presentation. Selected papers will be invited for submissions to special issues in Acta Geotechnica and Georisk.

Important Dates:

- Abstract for Conference / Special Journal Issues  15 May 2022   

- Confirmation of Acceptance of Abstract           31 May 2022

About ICITG:

The International Conference on Information Technology in Geo-Engineering (ICITG) was initiated by the Joint Technical Committee 2 (JTC2) of the Federation of International Geo-Engineering Societies (FedIGS).

FedIGS is an umbrella organization linking international professional societies in the field of "GeoEngineering", including ISSMGE (International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering), ISRM (International Society for Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering), IAEG (International Association for Engineering Geology and the Environment), IGS (International Geosynthetics Society). JTC2 is one committee under FedIGS and focuses on intelligentizing geo-engineering data.

The conference intends to bring together engineers, scientists, researchers and educators to review new developments and IT advances in geo-engineering and provide a forum for the discussion of future trends. The first three ICITG conferences were organized by Tongji University, Shanghai, China in 2010, Durham University, Durham, UK together with Tongji University, Shanghai, China in 2014, and the University of Minho and the Portuguese Geotechnical Society in Portugal in 2019, respectively. The 4th ICITG will be organized by the Geotechnical Society of Singapore, with the support of Nanyang Technological University and National University of Singapore.
