Answer Set Programming (ASP) is a well-established declarative AI formalism for knowledge representation and reasoning. ASP systems were successfully applied to both industrial and academic problems. Nonetheless, their performance can be improved by embedding domain-specific heuristics into their solving process. However, the development of...

Background: Maritime transportation accounts for around 80% of the world freight movements, remarkably contributing to the global environmental footprint. Dual fuel engines, running on both gaseous and liquid fuels, represent a viable way toward the reduction of emissions at the cost of additional complexity in monitoring activities....

The hydromechanics analysis of floating offshore wind turbines is a fundamental and time consuming part of the design process, traditionally analysed with methods of computational fluid dynamics. In this work, an alternative computational framework is suggested, able to significantly accelerate the design process with minimal accuracy loss....

Due to increasing environmental concerns and global energy demand, the development of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWTs) is on the rise. FOWTs offer a promising solution to expand wind farm deployment into deeper waters with abundant wind resources. However, their harsh operating conditions and lower maturity level compared to fixed...

The purpose of this chapter is to provide an overview of the state-of-the-art and future perspectives of Data Science and Advanced Analytics for Shipping Energy Systems. Specifically, we will start by listing the different static and dynamic data sources and knowledge base available in this particular context. Then we will review the Data...
