Abstracts of Lectures:

  1. Introduction to KBS I
    Bertram/Reich
    A survey of recent developments and proposals for KBS for maritime applications covers a wide spectrum for the operation of cargo ships operation (navigation, machinery, cargo, emergency response), navy ships and offshore units as well as systems for the design and manufacture of these. A special chapter is dedicated to KBS related to support work with statutory regulations. A rather comprehensive literature survey should serve as a good starting point for further in-depth studies. A brief tabular compilation lists all major KBS for quick reference.
  2. Introduction to KBS II
    Bertram/Reich
  3. Knowledge-Based Systems for Maritime Applications I
    Volker Bertram
    A survey of recent developments and proposals for KBS for maritime applications covers a wide spectrum for the operation of cargo ships operation (navigation, machinery, cargo, emergency response), navy ships and offshore units as well as systems for the design and manufacture of these. A special chapter is dedicated to KBS related to support work with statutory regulations. A rather comprehensive literature survey should serve as a good starting point for further in-depth studies. A brief tabular compilation lists all major KBS for quick reference. Part I will focus on KBS for maritime operation, Part II on KBS for maritime design and shipyard work. The video session will present Japanese KBS for ship operation (with English comment).
  4. EMMA: An Onboard Emergency Management System for Ships
    Charlotte Pii Lunau
    The presentation of the Emma emergency management system describes the functions and the implementation of the system. Emma is an onboard decision support system, which detects and gives advice in case of hull damages and fires. Emma is connected to a ship-wide set of sensors, and is constantly monitoring the status of the sensors. Emergencies are detected at a very early state and the location of the emergency is identified. Advice is presented at a graphical user interface, where it has to be acknowledged before actions are carried out. Furthermore, Emma has stability information available on line. From the software point of view, Emma contains two novel concepts; it is a model-based system and it uses meta-objects to monitor objects in the model. The model contains all ship entities as objects and models the logical and structural aspects of the ship as relations between objects.

    About the author
