This paper presents a one-dimensional time-dependent numerical model of a sea organ, which generates music driven by the motion of the sea. The governing equations are derived by coupling hydrodynamic and thermodynamic equations for water level and air pressure oscillations in a sea organ pipe system forced by irregular waves. The model was validated by […]

Cyber Security of Maritime ICT-Based Systems
With the growing reliance on the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) technologies, maritime cyber risk management becomes increasingly important. Managing the maritime cyber risk would allow not only data protection, but as well as safe and reliable ship operations and maritime transport. Recently, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has published the Guidelines on high-level recommendations […]
Towards a Cyber Secure Shipboard ECDIS
With the development of the Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) into a complex computer-based system, safeguarding from cyber threats is becoming critically important. The goal of the project is identification of cyber risks threatening ECDIS systemsimplemented on four training ships, which are of different manufacturers and models. The additional goal is, on the basis […]
Towards a Cyber Secure Shipboard Radar
This paper presents a comparative cyber security resilience estimation of shipboard radars that are implemented on two oil/chemical tankers certified as SOLAS ships. The estimated radars were chosen from the same manufacturer, but belonged to different generations. The estima- tion was conducted by means of ships’ crew interviews and computational testing of the radars using […]
Raising Awareness on Cyber Security of ECDIS
In the maritime transport, the Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) has been developed into a complex computer-based ship critical operational technology system, playing central roles in the safe ship navigation and transport. While ECDIS software maintenance is regulated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) ECDIS performance standards and related circulars, underlying software and […]
Automatic Annotation of Narrative Radiology Reports
Narrative texts in electronic health records can be efficiently utilized for building decision support systems in the clinic, only if they are correctly interpreted automatically in accordance with a specified standard. This paper tackles the problem of developing an automated method of labeling free-form radiology reports, as a precursor for building query-capable report databases in […]
H2020 MESOC
MESOC is a Research and Innovation Action designed to propose, test and validate an innovative and original approach to measuring the societal value and impacts of culture and cultural policies and practices, related to three crossover themes of the new European Agenda for Culture: 1) Health and Wellbeing, 2) Urban and Territorial Renovation and 3) […]

As part of the Young Scientists Career Development Project, a post-doctoral position has been approved for four years to participate in the RAASS project and to do its doctoral dissertation under the mentorship of Assoc. Marinas Ivasic-Kos
ICCT – Interactive course for control theory
The main goal of this ERASMUS+ project is to develop an online interactive course and the underlying web-oriented platform, with the purpose of offering smooth integration of the control theory related contents. A partnership of four universities is established, so as to cover various aspects in the project implementation (mechanical engineering, manufacturing, electrical engineering, and […]
Improving the Performance of Dynamic Ship Positioning Systems: A Review of Filtering and Estimation Techniques
Various operations at sea, such as maintaining a constant ship position and direction, require a complex control system. Under such conditions, the ship needs an efficient positioning technique. Dynamic positioning (DP) systems provide such an application with a combination of the actuators mechanism, analyses of crucial ship variables, and environmental conditions. The natural forces of […]
