The Asia Navigation Conference (ANC) has been started as a joint symposium of Korean Institute of Navigation and Port Research (KINPR), China Institute of Navigation (CIN) and Japan Institute of Navigation (JIN) from 2002, and now expands its border to all Asian countries.

The aim of the conference is to share the experience and knowledge on Navigation and Port Research, and also to discuss on Marine Science and Technology among Asian countries. Furthermore, this conference will bring experts and researchers of Asian countries together not only to exchange recent progress and trends but also to promote mutual developments in navigation, port and related fields.

We cordially invite experts and researchers engaged or interested in Navigation, Port Research and/or related fields to submit manuscripts.

Maritime Spatial Planning Forum, organised together by VASAB, UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, European Commission’s Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, Pan Baltic Scope collaboration and University of Latvia, will serve as a joint event of the 4th International MSP Forum, 3rd Baltic MSP Forum as well as the final conference of Pan Baltic Scope collaboration.

The MSPF is a platform where global MSP will meet regional MSP. Interactive workshops, plenaries and key-notes will give an opportunity to look at different MSP practices and solutions in a broader scale as the global aspect will be an added value throughout the whole event. All of this will create a fruitful environment for learning and experience exchange that goes beyond a day-to-day business.

The CASSCA 2019 Conference will explore the current state of the art in autonomous vehicles development, from the often disparate perspectives of government, industry and academic institutions. Plenary speakers, representing the wide variety of interests and perspectives on autonomous vehicles, will kick off the conference with insight into what these vehicles are capable of, and what interesting concepts are now within reach. Conference discussions will investigate the unique challenges and difficulties associated with addressing the needs of safety-critical applications in the deployment of autonomous vehicles. Crucial perspectives and important concerns from the trust, policy and ethics communities on the development and deployment of these vehicles will be heard. Technical success alone cannot secure widespread adoption and deployment of autonomous vehicles. Successful solutions will emerge from the combined efforts of scientists, engineers, and policy-makers.

The meeting brings together the world experts, from both public and private sectors, to present and discuss the recent findings on Sensor Calibration and Orientation as well as Multisensory systems for Navigation and Mapping. With the rapid development of autonomous platforms, this traditional field of photogrammetry and geodesy integrates with robotics, computer vision and system control. Indeed, tighter integration between sensors and platforms remains an open challenge both algorithmically and practically for a number of applications that requires higher measures for reliability, integrity as well as accuracy both in navigation and mapping. Also, calibration procedures need to be revamped for new (and often small) optical sensors as well as their integration with navigation devices.

This one and half-day ‘single-track’ meeting strives to be practical, informative and informal where the experts with theoretical and hands-on experience discuss in a relaxed atmosphere.
