Control Applications in Marine Systems 1998: Proceedings of the IFAC Conference, Fukuoka, Japan, 27-30 October (Paperback)

The scope of the Workshop was Challenge to New Cyberships. When designing a marine system it is important that the cybernetic control system is seaworthy, safe, robust, intelligent and adaptive to strong sea disturbances and its changes. The Workshop was a forum for discussing the latest achievements and trends within the following fields: Marine Control Systems; Ship Manoeuvring Model; Navigation Systems; Traffic Guidance and Control Systems; Main Engine and Machinery Control Systems; Safety and Fault Control Systems; Machinery Surveillance, Condition Monitoring and Quality Control Systems; Training and Vehicle Simulation Systems.
