The automatic identification system of maritime accident risk using rule-base...Bilal IDIRI
Présentation lors de la conférence IEEE SOSE 2012.
Current maritime traffic monitoring systems are not sufficiently adapted to the identification of maritime accident risk. It is very difficult for operators responsible for monitoring traffic to identify which vessels are at risk among all the shipping traffic displayed on their screen. They are overwhelmed by huge amount of kinematic ship data to be decoded. To improve this situation, this paper proposes a system for the automatic identification of maritime accident risk. The system consists of two modules. The first automates expert knowledge acquisition through the computerized exploration of historical maritime data, and the second provides a rule-based reasoning mechanism.
The Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a tracking system used in the maritime industry to improve the safety and management of vessel traffic. Its primary function is to allow ships and shore-based stations to automatically exchange information regarding their identity, position, speed, heading, and other relevant data. AIS is mandated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and is a crucial tool for enhancing maritime situational awareness, aiding in collision avoidance, and enabling efficient traffic management in busy waterways.
AIS operates through VHF radio frequencies, with AIS transponders installed on ships continuously broadcasting information such as the vessel's name, size, type, position, course, speed, navigational status, and other relevant details. Vessels equipped with AIS can receive this information from other nearby ships as well as coastal base stations. This exchange of data helps in improving the awareness of vessel movements, thereby reducing the risk of collisions and enhancing overall maritime security.
The information transmitted by AIS can also be received by satellite-based receivers, allowing for global tracking of vessels. This data is often used by authorities, port operators, and other stakeholders in the maritime industry for monitoring, traffic management, search and rescue operations, and to enforce maritime regulations.
AIS has significantly improved communication and awareness among vessels at sea, contributing to safer navigation and more effective maritime operations.

Captain, Where Is Your Ship – Compromising Vessel Tracking SystemsTrend Micro
A talk given by Kyle Wilhoit and Marco Balduzzi from Trend Micro's Forward Looking Threat Research team, along with independent researcher Alessandro Pasta.
Abstract:
In recent years, automated identification systems (AISes) have been introduced to enhance vessels tracking and provide extra safety to marine traffic, on top of conventional radar installations. AIS, which is currently a mandatory installation for all passenger ships and ships over 300 metric tonnes, works by acquiring GPS coordinates and exchanging vessel’s position, course and information with nearby ships, offshore installation, i.e. harbors and traffic controls, and Internet tracking and visualizing providers.
With an estimated number of 400,000 installation, AIS is currently the best system for collision avoidance, maritime security, aids to navigation and accident investigations.
Given its primary importance in marine traffic safety, we conducted a comprehensive security evaluation of AIS, by tackling it from both a software and a hardware, radio frequency perspective.
In this talk, we share with you our finding, i.e how we have been able to hijack and perform man-in-the-middle attacks on existing vessels, take over AIS communications, tamper with the major online tracking providers and eventually fake our own yacht!.
Speed Cast Ltd is one of the most prominent service providers of satellite communication services the world over. They have been providing two-way satellite services in the name of Seacast to the maritime industry and they are being extensively used by ships and vessels at sea for having a better communication system on board. You can contact them to know more about their services.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Editor's Notes
MMSI = Maritime Mobile Service Identity see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maritime_Mobile_Service_Identity for more detailsAIS Class A became mandatory in 2004 for commercial vessels [see next slide] and Class B AIS standard was introduced in 2007AIS can also be described as a wireless networking protocol that allows vessels to transmit and receive information about vessels in the immediate vicinity
The Universal Ship borne Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a system of transponders installed on vessels which transmit over two dedicated digital marine VHF channels. The data is sent from each vessel every few seconds and contains position and movement information such as course, speed, latitude, longitude, and rate of turn. Static information about the vessel is sent every few minutes and includes the name, type of ship, length, beam, draft, etc.Nearly all commercial ships are mandated to carry AIS transponders and each year more yachts, launches and work boats are fitting AIS transponders. You can receive this data with an AIS receiver which translates the digital radio signals or you can receive as well as send your own information with a transponder. There are two types of transponders, Class A intended for SOLAS vessels (mostly large commercial vessels) and Class B for fitting on non-SOLAS category vessels (mostly pleasure craft and some smaller commercial vessels).
Collision Avoidance in Congested and Low Visibility Conditions
Vesper Marine is able to adapt our AIS technology to be integrated with shore based fleet tracking applications to provide fleet management and communications. Virtual and Synthetic Aids to Navigation (AtoN) is where the location of an object is sent from an AIS transmitting station situated at another site. Ie Transmitting station on an oil platform sending out the location of changeable no-go zones around the platform via AIS.
To allow multiple ships to start ‘talking’ at once, AIS uses a sophisticated operating protocols, called ‘self-organising time division multiple access’ (SOTDMA) [Class A] or carrier-sense time division multiple access (CSTDMA) [Class B]. These techniques manage access to unique transmission time slots and allow multiple vessels to transmit in the same period of time.
Good antenna selection and installation are key to the performance of any communications system. A high unobstructed view in all directions is ideal and asfar away from interference as possible will provide the best transmission levels.
Ship traffic continues to increase worldwide and traffic densities are already high. 3% annual increase in global shipping is likely to be sustained.
