Call For Papers

The First International Workshop on
Information Technologies for the Maritime Sector - 2012 (ITEMS’12)

(To be held in conjunction with DASFAA: Database Systems for Advanced Applications, 2012)
Busan, Korea, April 15, 2012


SCOPE:

According to the International Maritime Organization more than 90% of the global trade,
whether it is oil and gas, bulk or containerized cargo, is carried by sea. To this volume leisure, passenger and military shipping must be added to account for the traffic. The stakeholders in the maritime industry are numerous. Information TEchnology for the Maritime Sector (ITEMS) is an international workshop that aims at creating a forum for researchers and professionals to present and discuss the latest research results and developments of information technologies for the maritime sector. The workshop's scope includes all important aspects of information technology, including simulation of maritime systems (vessels interactions, trajectories, domains); acquisition, processing, and management of maritime data; robotic aspects of port management; web technologies for various aspects of maritime operations; artificial intelligence, decision support systems and data analytics for various maritime partners.

ITEMS will be held in conjunction with DASFAA, which is an annual international
database conference, located in the Asia-Pacific region, which showcases state-of-the-art R & D activities in database systems and their applications. DASFAA provides a forum for technical presentations and discussions among database researchers, developers, practitioners and users from academia, business and industry.
