The Israel Navigation Workshop and Exhibition (INWE18) is a biennial event organized and sponsored by the Israel Association for Automatic Control (IAAC).

Following the huge success of previous events, the 2018 edition of the Israel Navigation Workshop and Exhibition has been scheduled for January 29, at the Daniel Hotel in Herzliya.

INWE18 will be a one day event dedicated to technical talks in navigation systems, ranging from fundamental research, to applications, to field test results. The topics of interest include navigation, positioning and timekeeping in all their variations, sensors, systems, optimal integration of multiple sensors, and novel or emerging technologies in the field of navigation.

In parallel with the talks INWE18 will host a technical exhibition in which navigation equipment manufacturers and suppliers will have the opportunity to show their current products and most recent technical innovations. You can expect to see the latest, most innovative navigation products and services from top navigation companies.

Finally, the event will bring together the large community of researchers, suppliers and users in the navigation area in Israel, making it a unique opportunity to meet all the who’s who in the navigation field in the country.

Abstracts are now being accepted, closing date for abstracts is 10 October 2017

We will explore and discuss current and future possibilities within the market as well as looking into solutions with the approach of the planned implementation of the Maritime Service Portfolios (MSP), there will be, as the title implies, a specific focus on the MSP at this successful conference, taken place on M/S Pearl Seaways, Sailing return trip from Copenhagen to Oslo.

GeoBuiz Summit, Location World , GeoIntelligence and Geo4SDGs are events running at the same time: One Global Platform Four key events.

The largest maritime event in the Asia Pacific region, Marintec China connecting maritime professionals from the entire shipbuilding supply chain.

Over the years, Marintec China has grown to reflect the size and importance of the Asian maritime market. 2015 event is another record- breaking edition with the largest exhibition area and the highest number of industry professionals attending ever. Encouraging figures have proven that China remains one of the major shipbuilding nations and Marintec China has been the most authoritative platform in Asia.

Marintec China is poised to be the definitive event for all involved in the maritime industry.

Admission: For trade only. Visitors under 18 will not be admitted.

The 1st Galileo User Assembly is set to take place in Madrid on November 28-29. The event will provide Galileo and EGNOS users with the opportunity to discuss their needs, share their experience and provide feedback on EGNSS performance.

INC2017 will bring together the Positioning, Navigation and Timing community around three major themes: Autonomy, Resilient PNT and Sensor & Data Fusion.

A two-day workshop on navigation and orientation in alpine environments.

The working language of the workshop is German, however presentations in English will be accepted. Abstracts are kindly requested to be submitted before October 10, 2017.

MCP (Maritime Connectivity Platform), previously known as the Maritime Cloud, is a communication framework that enables efficient, secure, reliable and seamless electronic information exchange among all authorized maritime stakeholders across available communication systems. This framework is currently under development in a collaboration between different projects – EfficienSea2 (EU), STM validation project (EU) and the SMART Navigation project (Korea).

The workhop will adress the implementation of MCP with a focus on the options with regard to governance models and business models.

Growth of air traffic density and new emerging technologies require air navigation modernization and increased airspace efficiency.

Most demanding is the last phase of flight where aircraft operate close to the ground on approach and landing.

Here, guidance needs to be precise enough to guarantee safety while minimizing environmental impact especially with respect to noise.

There will also be an exhibition of providers’ products and services.

Here you will find the details on abstract submission.

The workshop will be held on October 30, 2017, in the Tel Aviv University. The workshop program and registration form can be found on the IAAC site. Early registration discount is offered till October 22, 2017.

2017-10-15: Registration is now open.

Themed sessions include: The Efficient Ship: Digitalization; Fuel and Propulsion; Ship and Fleet Optimization and Regulatory Compliance.

Transport plays a key role in shaping space and has long been recognised as a maker and breaker of cities (Clark 1958; Knowles 2006). Securing private and public sector investment in mass transit systems, green transport modes and smart city infrastructure can be problematic, but is central to developing sustainable cities (Cervero and Sullivan 2011).

Transit Oriented Development (TOD) is the process of focussing the development of housing, employment, activity sites and public services around existing or new rail or bus rapid transit stations or stops (Knowles 2012; Knowles and Ferbrache 2016). TOD is designed to create a relatively high density, compact and mixed urban form. TOD is now a very important part of a broader ‘smart growth’ approach to urban development and urban regeneration in many countries.

Abstracts of 250-300 words indicating title, author(s) and affiliation(s) should be sent by 6 February 2017 to r.d.knowles-at-salford.ac.uk and fiona.ferbrache-at-keble.ox.ac.uk.

Featuring more than 115 technical presentations, this event represents a combined $250 million of federally funded R&D. Displaying more than 40 mature, transition-ready technologies, the showcase will feature projects from 15 cybersecurity research areas including mobile security, data privacy, cyber-physical system security, distributed denial of service defense, and next generation cyber infrastructure.

To be held before IFAC 2017 World Congress to be held from 9-14 July 2017.

The conference is free of charge and will be held at eMaritime Group’s headquarters near Southampton on Friday 7th July. The main aim of the day is to inform those who are involved in their company’s ECDIS systems to learn more about why the change is taking place, what the changes are and how to action the required changes.

The major milestones on the road to the successful operational rollout of Satellite Navigation systems like GPS/EGNOS, Galileo, GLONASS and Compass (Beidou) are the qualification and certification of mission and safety critical applications.

The German Institute of Navigation DGON is offering an international symposium on certification of GNSS systems and services.
