NAB3044 Maritime Decision Support Systems, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Digital Twins

Contents and structure

The course lays the groundwork for understanding and analysing information and information systems. It also covers the technical and organizational aspects of decision support systems (DSS), as well as the application of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and digital twins (DT) in maritime settings. The course provides an overview of recent digitalization technologies, date-driven methods for creating and simplifying prediction/classification models, and DT fundamentals. While the course is user-oriented and emphasizes the conceptual foundations of DSS, AI, ML, and DT, it also includes demonstrations, laboratory lessons, and case examples.

NAB3044 is an elective course - reservation regarding the 2024/2025 academic year, among other things considering if there are enough students enrolled in the course.
