ICCAS 2011 will be the 15th International Conference on Computer Applications in Shipbuilding.


The conference will review operational experience from existing computer applications in the design and build of ships and offshore structures.


It will also examine the advances in Information Technology which have contributed to increased productivity in both shipbuilding and maritime operations; including increasing co-operative working between shipyards, marine equipment and system manufacturers, engineering partners and shipping companies.


Content
The conference will cover the full range of topics related to computer applications, including separate programs, integrated systems, knowledge management, simulation and virtual reality applications, for: 


Early design, including concept design, tendering, initial design, general arrangement,  cost and work estimation, hull form, hydrodynamic analysis and basic structural design,   risk based design. 


Detailed and production design, including structure, machinery, hull and outfitting.
Parts manufacturing and assembly, including prefabrication, shop automation, robotics,   assembly and accuracy control. 
 

Material management, including material control, supply chain management, logistics   and e-solutions. 
 

Management of shipbuilding projects, including planning, work-flow analysis, PDM and ERP applications Management of cooperative working between different actors in   shipbuilding projects, e.g. shipyards and equipment and systems manufacturers. 

 
Commissioning, inspection and maintenance, including life-cycle maintenance, life-  cycle cost management, environmental cost management, parts and systems reliability,   inspection standards and risk management inspection standards, risk management and   security.


Skills management, knowledge transfer and other human resource issues.
