Ocean Engineering Symposium

 

Objectives
Authors and presenters are invited to participate in this event to expand international cooperation, understanding and promotion of efforts and disciplines in the area of Ocean Engineering. Dissemination of knowledge by presenting research results, new developments, and novel concepts in Ocean Engineering will serve as the foundation upon which the conference program of this area will be developed.

Description
This symposium is first initiated during the 21st OMAE 2002 Conference in Oslo, Norway. The purpose of the OCEAN ENGINEERING symposium is to bring together representatives of the ocean engineering community to discuss results of their work on design technology, linear and nonlinear phenomena and the development of experimental, observational and computational tools. the filed of oceane engineering is very broad, encompassing from wave mechanics to underwater technology to advanced ship hydromechanics to marine environmental engineering and aquacultural engineering This symposium is an opportunity for the engineers in industry, university, and government to develop and foster collaborations in their endeavors to improve ocean technology.

A variety of sessions are available for presentation as it allows flexibility to the authors. Although the majority of sessions are paper sessions, other types of sessions include keynotes, workshops and special sessions. All sessions are quality driven.
