Blurb

The volume offers a wealth of expert results from interdisciplinary fields of knowledge contributing on a diversity of topics targeting the marine and maritime environmental sustainability in coastal and ocean related areas. Specific featured include topics on, ecology, shipping and health related issues that target amongst others,

·         Shipping and Ecology.

·         Topics of ocean wildlife and mega-fauna Protection.

·         Big Data and sustainable applications for healthy and safe coastal cities.

·         Smart sustainable humanitarian assistance methods using large vessels

·         Smart coastal city tourist activity, mobility management.

·         Urban climate condition mitigation.

·         Historical analysis of the case of disease outbreaks onboard ships.

·         Monitoring, simulating and decision making while developing housing at sea, such as in cruise-ships.

·         Conducting feasibility assessment for outbreak prevention following real-time, systematic disease detection on cruise ships.

·         Technological approaches for cruise ship disease propagation monitoring.

·         Scenario testing for sensors and actuators deployment to prevent and mitigate epidemics on cruise ships, as well as methods for improving biological safety on ships using nanotechnology.

The book is expected to engage research in the multidisciplinary areas, as well as students and interested audience. Eminent experts contribute their research results and thinking, which form this book’s chapters. By covering an array of scientific work, this book’s audience can benefit from a variety of disciplines while it serves as an open knowledge platform combining naval architecture and marine engineering, ecology, biomedical informatics, public health, architecture engineering and building physics, nanotechnology as well as advanced technologies, innovation and related fields.
