Our editor Annelinde Gerritsen travelled to Genoa in September to attend the International Conference on Computer Applications in Shipbuilding (ICCAS). In two major articles, the first in SWZ’s November issue and the next in December, she reports on all the knowledge exchanged there. Here, you can find the references accompanying this article.

Designing a ship for the best operation in the maritime ecosystem it’s in, is all about predicting the future. New technologies make predictions more and more accurate. By “playing” with different scenarios, possibilities are endless. At the International Conference on Computer Applications in Shipbuilding (ICCAS) in Genua in September, a lot of innovative solutions were presented.

In her articles, Annelinde Gerritsen gives an overview of the topics and papers presented at the conference. Topics discussed range from artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR) to digital twins and more. Subscribers can read part one of the article online or in our app now. Not yet a subscriber? Please visit our subscriptions page. The second part will be published in our December issue.

To acquire any of the papers, please contact RINA directly.
