The 4th European Workshop on Maritime Systems Resilience and Security (MARESEC) is dedicated to the research on Resilience, Security, Technology and related Ethical, Legal, and Social Aspects (ELSA) in the context of Maritime Systems, including but not restricted to (Offshore/Onshore) Infrastructures, Navigation and Shipping and Autonomous Systems. This year, the conference will also include a special session on Cosmic-ray Tomography within the context of maritime or safety & security related applications. The intention of this workshop is to bring together researchers to present new results and ongoing projects as well as to exchange experiences and explore possible cooperation.

The workshop will be held as hybrid event in the German Emigration Center (Deutsches Auswandererhaus) in Bremerhaven, Germany.

Submission Guidelines

Prospective authors are invited to submit an extended abstract* (English, 1-2 pages, IEEE style for conferences, templates: Word / LaTeX), which will be reviewed by the program committee. Selected authors will be then invited for oral presentation and submission of a full paper (4-6 pages), which will go through a further review process, to be published in the workshop proceedings. Please note that the submission of a full paper is not mandatory. Please note, that extended abstracts can contain figures, tables and/or images as well as references.  (*Interested authors are inivted to submit instead of an extended abstract already a full paper.)

Authors of high-quality papers will be invited, after the workshop, to submit an extended version of the full paper for publication in the peer reviewed Transactions on Maritime Science (ToMS).
