Maritime Informatics
暫譯: 海事資訊學

這本關於海事資訊學的首部著作描述了海事資訊學在提升航運業潛力方面的應用。它探討了如何透過數位技術改善該行業的決策過程，並介紹了使海事資訊學成為一個獨特且有價值的學科所需的技術。編輯們基於過去六年參與歐盟資助的研究，以改善航運業的經驗，指出海事資訊學這一新學科的必要性，該學科研究資訊系統在提高全球航運業的效率、安全性和生態可持續性方面的應用。本書探討了航運公司之間的競爭與合作，以及滿足航運需求的公司，如港口和碼頭。來自領先專家的實際案例為讀者提供了現實世界的範例，以便更好地理解。

Michalis P. Michaelides is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering and Informatics at the Cyprus University of Technology. Michalis has been involved as a principal investigator in many research projects, both local (CUT, RPF) and European (EU, FP7) including the Sea Traffic Management Validation project (2016-2019).
Robert Ward was the Secretary-General of the IHO until his retirement in late 2017. Prior to that he was the Deputy Hydrographer of Australia. For more than 20 years he represented Australia and subsequently the International Hydrographic Organization at the highest international levels and played an influential role in the development and implementation of global digital data exchange standards for nautical charting services.
Richard T. Watson has written books on Data Management; Electronic Commerce, Internet Strategy, Energy Informatics; and Capital, Systems, and Objects. He was involved in the Sea Traffic Management Validation project (2016-2019) and provided input to PortCDM. He worked extensively for more than a decade with CIOs to support their strategic needs.

米卡埃爾·林德（Mikael Lind）是海事資訊學領域的知名思想領袖。他位於哥德堡（Göteborg），這是一個主要的斯堪地那維亞航運中心，已有多家公司為海事部門提供資訊服務。他是港口協作決策（Port Collaborative Decision Making, PortCDM）概念的共同創始人，並擔任世界經濟論壇、歐洲數位運輸物流論壇（Digital Transport Logistic Forum, DTLF）及聯合國/CEFACT的專家。

米哈利斯·P·米哈伊利德斯（Michalis P. Michaelides）是塞浦路斯科技大學（Cyprus University of Technology）電機工程、計算機工程與資訊學系的助理教授。米哈利斯作為主要研究者參與了許多研究項目，包括本地（CUT, RPF）和歐洲（EU, FP7）的項目，其中包括海上交通管理驗證項目（Sea Traffic Management Validation project, 2016-2019）。

羅伯特·沃德（Robert Ward）在2017年底退休前擔任國際海圖組織（IHO）秘書長。在此之前，他是澳大利亞的副水文學家。超過20年來，他代表澳大利亞及隨後的國際海圖組織在最高國際層面上發揮影響力，並在全球數位數據交換標準的發展與實施中扮演了重要角色，這些標準用於海圖服務。

理查德·T·沃森（Richard T. Watson）撰寫了有關數據管理、電子商務、網際網路策略、能源資訊學以及資本、系統和物件的書籍。他參與了海上交通管理驗證項目（2016-2019），並為PortCDM提供了意見。他與首席資訊官（CIO）合作超過十年，以支持他們的戰略需求。
