Digitalization of Maritime Operations through Sustainable Systems, Software and Architecture

This book explores how advanced systems, mathematical optimization, cutting-edge software solutions, and strong systems and software designs work together in digitalization of maritime operations and management. Emphasizing applications that directly address topics related to SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), it discusses how one can change modern ships into smart, integrated digital platforms by using sustainable systems, software, and architecture.
The book, a collection of select chapters, covers the design, implementation, and optimization of systems for future smart ships. Combining theory and practical examples, it aims to provide readers ideas, tools, analytical thinking, and improved systems for digitalization of ships and their management. It also highlights the importance of mathematical modeling for safety, efficiency, and functionality. The book is useful for students, professionals and researchers in the interdisciplinary fields of research and practice related to all topics covered within the book.
