Description & Coverage
Description:

A digital twin is a representation of a physical entity in a digital format. A digital twin is used in place of its physical counterpart to carry out simulations, analyze data and make predictions in order to prevent unnecessary outcomes, reduce downtime, redesign and improve products or processes. Digital twins are receiving attention in shipping and maritime in order to make shipping greener. This is related to the concept of Smart Ship, i.e. ships where a large number of sensors are installed to collect all possible information about the state of the vessel, various indicators, etc. The maturity of digital twin technologies is evolving rapidly, with the growth of digital twin underpinning technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data and Machine Learning. This makes possible the use of digital twins in areas such as new ship design. A promising application of digital twinning in shipping and maritime is decarbonization, i.e., reducing the ship’s emissions throughout its lifecycle. This can be achieved through the design of more energy efficient ships, installation and retrofitting of energy efficiency subsystems, greener fuels, and optimization of the ship’s voyage.

This book informs researchers and practitioners alike about the State of the Art in digital twin applications for shipping sector decarbonization. It contains experts views from a broad array of disciplines such as naval architecture, naval engineering, shipping operations management, ship modelling and simulation, and Computer Science, on how to apply digital twinning for maximum ship industry decarbonization. The Book Chapters are informed by the latest research and development national and EU initiatives for digital twin research, to become a valuable aid to business and R&D decision makers as well as researchers in ship design and technology and maritime transport.

OA Processing Charges

Book Processing Charges (BPCs) and Chapter Processing Charges (CPCs): Payment of the BPC or CPC fee (directly to the publisher) by the author or a funding body is not required until AFTER the manuscript has gone through the full double-blind peer review process and the Editor(s)-in-Chief at his/her/their full discretion has/have decided to accept the manuscript based on the results of the double-blind peer review process.

What Does IGI Global's Open Access BPC and CPC Cover? In the traditional subscription-based model, the cost to the publisher to produce each manuscript is covered by the revenue generated by book sales. Under OA, all the manuscripts are published under a Creative Commons (CC BY) license; therefore, the authors or funding body will pay a one-time BPC or CPC to offset the costs of all of the activities associated with the publication of the article manuscript, including:

  • Digital tools used to support the manuscript management and review process
  • Typesetting, formatting and layout
  • Online hosting
  • Submission of the journal's content to numerous abstracts, directories, and indexes
  • Third-party software (e.g. plagiarism checks)
  • Editorial support which includes manuscript tracking, communications, submission guideline checks, and communications with authors and reviewers
  • All promotional support and activities which include metadata distribution, press releases, promotional communications, web content, ads, fliers, brochures, postcards, etc. for the journal and its published contents
  • The fact that all published articles will be freely accessible and able to be posted and disseminated widely by the authors
Funding Resources

IGI Global Resources for OA Funding:

  • Acquire & Open: When your library acquires an IGI Global e-Book and/or e-Journal Collection, your faculty’s published work will be considered for immediate conversion to Open Access (CC BY License), at no additional cost to the library or its faculty (cost only applies to the e-Collection content being acquired), through our popular Transformative Open Access (Read & Publish) Initiative.
  • Books and chapters published via the traditional, subscription-based model (not open access) do not require the payment of an processing charges as the publication costs associated with these articles are covered by the revenue generated through book sales. Additionally, find below common OA funding resources that provide additional information on country funding, OA standards, and more.
