"Inspiring safer systems at sea" - The Marine Electrical and Control Systems Safety Conference (MECSS) has rapidly become a recognised forum within the marine industry. At the heart of the technical debate is how safety is instilled throughout the interaction between people, processes, commercial standard equipment and plant – all of which are becoming ever more sophisticated. MECSS 2019 aims to further explore ‘effective system integration’ and will take place in London on Tuesday 2 – Wednesday 3 July 2019: Over 100 expert participants; Over 20 peer reviewed technical papers; Panel Debate on Artificial Intelligence; International attendance; Continuing Professional Development (CPD) approved by IMarEST; Speakers' Corner for further debate and discussion; Excellent networking opportunities including organised reception; NEW for 2019 - MECSS 2019 will be held in parallel to IMarEST's EAAW VIII and will hold joint sessions on Day One.

Social Management

The digital transformation of processes and control systems in the last decade has been accompanied by the introduction of artificial intelligence technologies. The purpose of this study is to investigate the conditions for the safe use of intelligent technologies and tools for managing social infrastructure. The research methodology bases on an integrated approach, comparative analysis, and logical synthesis. The author suggests a philosophical analysis of existential risks of intellectual automation of social management and the mechanisms of their implementation, and also investigates the conditions for a safer use of technologies for intelligent automation of socially significant decisions. Generalized measures and search directions are proposed to reduce a number of risks associated with intelligent automation of control.

Professional development programmes that include teacher collaboration can help teachers meet their professional needs and control their professional lives. They can voice their needs and expectations to peers who share similar experiences. Moreover, teachers can discover new teaching roles and opportunities, develop new skills and find motivation in being a member of a group (Burbank & Kauchak, 2003; Hawkes, 2000). With the affordances provided by Web technologies, the potentiality of online communities of practice (CoPs) as a means of improving teacher professional development has become a reality and is gaining popularity. The Online Continuing Professional Development for Teachers (e-CPDelT) project aimed to develop three online CoPs; that is, English, Mathematics and Science communities among twenty Malaysian Smart school teachers. This paper examined the key CoP dimensions, as expounded in Wenger's (1998) framework, and investigated whether their presence is sufficient for successful CoP among teachers in the English cohort. The findings revealed that although the key CoP dimensions were present, there were several factors inhibiting their participation in the community-based cohort. It can be implied that it is crucial to consider these factors in developing teacher online CoPs in Malaysia.

The development of artificial intelligence will have a significant impact on international security and the use of a military instrument of power. One of the most important tasks for national security professionals and decision makers is thus to prepare for the repercussions of artificial intelligence development. In the development of military capabilities, artificial intelligence is integrated into intelligence, observation, control and reconnaissance applications, as well as into logistics, cyber operations, information operations, command and control systems, semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicles, and lethal autonomous weapon systems. The artificial intelligence revolution is not going to happen tomorrow. Therefore, pre-prepared policies and the knowledge shared by policy- and decision makers can help us manage the unknowns ahead.

The Military

With the diversification of risks and threats in the multidimensional operational environment, in variable geometry conflicts, state-of-the-art technology must be used at all times in the architecture of command and control systems. This will ensure optimal response conditions both at the planning level and at the level of the execution of the military operation/action. Real-time communication, horizontally and vertically, between tactical level forces, operational and strategic level command and support structures, and with other institutions with security and defence responsibilities can only be ensured and protected by using advanced technologies. Not to be neglected at all is the training of the human resource for an efficient use of equipment as well as the algorithms and processes for making an efficient decision-making process, in line with technical, technological and artificial intelligence developments.   Keywords: command and control; artificial intelligence; efficiency; technologies; 'Information Technologies.

AbstractArtificial intelligence is predicted to play a big part in self-learning, industrial automation that will negotiate the bandwidth of structural health and control systems. The industrial structural health and control system based on discrete sensors possesses insufficient spatial coverage of sensing information, while the distributed condition monitoring has been mainly studied at the sensor level, relatively few studies have been conducted at the artificial intelligence level. This paper presents an innovative method for distributed structural health and control systems based on artificial intelligence. The structural condition was divided into regional and local features, the feature extraction and characterization are performed separately. Structural abnormality recognition and risk factor calculation method were proposed by considering the response values and the distribution patterns of both the regional and the local structural behaviours. The test results show that the method can effectively identify the full-scale and local damage of the structure, respectively. Subsequently, structural safety assessment method for long-span structures at kilometres level in view of fully length strain distributions measured by distributed fiber optic sensors were developed. A series of load tests on the long-span structure were carried out. Finite element (FE) model was developed using finite element code, ABAQUS, and an extensive parametric study was conduct to explore the effect of load cases on the structural responses. The differences in the structural response results among load test, structural safety assessment and FE simulation were investigated. It is shown that AI-based self-learning system could offer suitable speed in deployment, reliability in solution and flexibility to adjust in distributed structural health monitoring and control.
