Recently, "Ubiquitous" became a common word for human life and Information and Communication Technology which is often called "ICT" is one of indispensable tools. And even in Geo-Engineering, ICT has been widely used such as measurements and quality control for design and construction. Under these circumstances, International Workshop on ICT in Geo-Engineering (ICTGE2012) is held in Kyoto, Japan on 17 and 18 May in 2012 and this workshop is organized by the Japanese Geotechnical Society. The main topics of this workshop are to exchange the ideas on current sensor and networking techniques and to summarize the right application fields of ICT in Geo-Engineering.

Geo-Information and Sensor Techniques
New sensor mechanism; Quality of data; Durability of sensor; Installation and maintenance; Energy consumption; Power harvesting and others.

Network Communication Techniques for Geo-Engineering
Communication and network techniques; Network technology and system; Advanced system development; Reliability and redundancy; Cloud computing and system; Security and safety; and others.

Application of ICT to Geo-Engineering
Geo-information; Monitoring and alarm system; Back analysis; Intelligent construction; Reliability based design; QC/QA; Case histories and others.
