In the last 25 years, information systems have had a disruptive
effect on society and business. Up until recently though, the
majority of passengers and goods were transported by sea in many
ways similar to the way they were at the turn of the previous
century. Gradually, advanced information technologies are being
introduced, in an attempt to make shipping safer, greener, more
efficient, and transparent. The emerging field of Maritime
Informatics studies the application of information technology and
information systems to maritime transportation. Maritime
Informatics can be considered as both a field of study and domain
of application. As an application domain, it is the outlet of
innovations originating from data science and artificial
intelligence; as a field of study, it is positioned between
computer science and marine engineering. This new field's
complexity lies within this duality because it is faced with
disciplinary barriers yet demands a systemic, transdisciplinary
approach. At present, there is a growing body of knowledge that
remains undocumented in a single source or textbook designed to
assist students and practitioners. This highly useful
textbook/reference starts by introducing required knowledge,
algorithmic approaches, and technical details, before presenting
real-world applications. The aim is to present interested audiences
with an overview of the main technological innovations having a
disruptive effect on the maritime industry, as well as to discuss
principal ideas, methods of operation and applications, and future
developments. The material in this unique volume provides requisite
core knowledge for undergraduate or postgraduate students,
employing an analytical approach with numerous real-world examples
and case studies.
