Call
for papers
The
aim of this COTech conference is to provide a platform for academics
and professionals in application of computational methods with main
focus on, but not limited to, offshore technology to come
together, present their recent works in the area, exchange ideas, and
establish professional networks. It will serve as a forum for a
multidisciplinary research and brings together Norwegian and invited
foreign researchers to enable them exchange their research experience
and dessiminate their results within application of computational
methods in design, analysis and simulation of offshore systems and
structures.
Topics
for presentation on the conference and publication include, but are
not limited to,
the following research and application areas.
