Description: The series of intemational conferences on Computer Applications in the Automation of Shipyard Operation and Ship Design, known as ICCAS Conferences, began in 1973 in Tokyo. ICCAS 73 was followed by thee equally successful gatherings in GothenburS, Sweden, in 1976, Glasgow, Scotland, in 1979 and at Annapolis, U.S.A., in 1982.
This year we had great pleasure in welcoming delegates to Trieste, Italy, for ICCAS 85. The past twelve years have seen many changes in shipbuilding and shipping and these have had a profound impact on the
two industries. First there was the shift in shipbuilding activities from Europe to the Far East, with Japan and now Korea
dominating the order books. Secondly there has been a series ofi crises - notably the oil crisis of 1973, and the severe
worldwide economic recesion of the past four years. The effects of all this make it very difficult to predic the futue
with any degree of conlidence. What is certain, however, is that everyon€ associated with shipbuilding and shipping needs
to be very flexible and extremely efficient, and the €ffective use of the computer is one of the factors that will help us
to face the future with mnJidence. It is, therefore, not surprising tlnt the organising committees of all tlre previous
ICCAS conferences have enjoyed such excellent support, since the basic aim of all four has been to encourage the practical
application of computing to all aspects of ship technology.
In the conteK of ICCAS conferences the Intemational Programme Committee for ICCAS 85 achieved one or two
"records".
The first was that, regardless of locatbn, its committee meetings attncted the largest attendance so far. A second was
that it received the laqest ever number of abstracts and it was a very difficult task for the members to limit their choice
to a maximum ofjust over fifty papen for tlle technical sessions. We should like to apologise to those whose papers were
not successful.
The programme contained fifteen technical sessions and three panel discussions and offered a broad range of subjects for
tlre interest of the participants. One new session topic was
"ship
operations and how these affect design". It is hoped
that the papers
Presented
in this s€ssion will lead to even greater co{peration between ship designen anit ship operators.
Other qpecial features included the exposure of participants to recent advances in the use of expert systems in ship
design and practical applications of flexible manufacturing techniques and robots.
What of future trends? We have to accept tlat the situation will continue to be difficult and is Ukely to become even more
tlemanding. Thb means that tho computer will be required to make an even bigger contntution to advanced productbn
techliques and in facilitating the construction of special designs.
The conference was sponsored by IFIP
-
The International Federation for Information Processing, and IFAC
-
The Inter.
natbnal Federatbn of Automatic Control, to both of which the lnternational Organisrtg Committee would like to express its gratitude. The Committee would also like to thank Fincantiei (Cantieri Nava.li ltalitni 5.P.,4.
/
?liesr? for showing
its sensitivity to the need for technological improv€ment in shipbuilding and shippurg activities by making experts and
means available to help toward the succ€ss of the conference.
Our own grateful thanks
8o
to the members of the International Oryanising Committee who devoted time and effort to
provide leadership for the conference, and to the members of the Iocal Organising Committee who worked so hard to
ensure that every aspect of ICCAS 85 reflected its profesional nature and would be worthy of its participants.
Finally, we should like to express our thanks to the Autonomous Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia, the Province of Trieste,
the Chamber of Commerce of Trieste, the Municipality of Trieste, the Public Tourist Oryanisatbn of Trieste and its
Coastal Region, and the Savings Bank of Trieste, all of which contntuted generously torvards the high organisational
exPenses, thus making
Possible
the padicipatbn of a wide range of technical expeds from all over the world.
