8th International Probabilistic Workshop

We would like to invite You for the 8-th International Probabilistic Workshop - which will be held in Szczecin from 18 to 19 November 2010. IPW has long traditions of strong scientific activities, in the previous years a series of probabilistic workshops on safety and risk in civil engineering were organized starting in 2003/2004 in Dresden, followed 2005 in Vienna, 2006 in Berlin, 2007 in Ghent, 2008 in Darmstadt and 2009 in Delft. We will continue this series with the 8th probabilistic workshop. The workshop will be organized jointly by Institute of Marine Traffic Engineering and the University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences, Vienna.

Safety, reliability and risk are key issues in a world with continuously increasing complexity. Road and railway accidents, tunnel fires or natural hazards like hurricanes, floods or earthquakes show the vulnerability of our technical facilities and the natural and social environment. Therefore the consideration of safety and risk is without doubt a very important issue during the design of technical facilities, such as civil engineering structures and infrastructure works. Questions about the analysis and treatment of safety and risk arise, as well as questions about optimal safety levels or questions about acceptable values. Those interested in structural safety as well as in broader views on the subject will find appropriate sessions during the workshop. Possible topics include various aspects of structural safety, probabilistic material description, risk assessment for technical and natural hazards and risk

8th International Probabilistic Workshop participants may attend, the special workshop focused on simulation methods in marine traffic engineering dedicated to design of civil engineering structures like ports and waterways.

Szczecin- is the capital city of West Pomeranian Voivodeship in Poland. It is the country's seventh-largest city and the largest seaport in Poland on the Baltic Sea. Szczecin is located on the Oder River, south of the Lagoon of Szczecin and the Bay of Pomerania. The city is situated along the southwestern shore of Dabie Lake, on both sides of Oder and on several large islands between western and eastern branch of the river.

The city evolved from an early medieval Pomeranian stronghold, which in 1243 was merged with two adjacent German settlements, creating the present-day Old Town. At the site of the former stronghold, a castle was built as a residence of the Griffin dukes, who ruled the Duchy of Pomerania until 1637.
From 1815 to 1945, the city was the capital of both the reorganized Prussian Province of Pomerania and of its central government region. Stettin became the largest and most industrial city of the province, and the surrounding towns and villages were subsequently amalgamated. After the Second World War, the city was annexed by Poland, and its inhabitants fled or were forcibly expelled. Subsequently, the devastated town was rebuilt by Polish settlers.

Maritime University of Szczecin continues the traditions of maritime education that date back to marine schools established in Szczecin in 1947. The University has over 100 well-equipped laboratories, a modern research-training vessel the m/s Nawigator XXI, and 14 most technically advanced simulators: Ship Handling Simulator equipped with a 3D visual system, Anti-Collision ARPA Simulator, Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) Simulator, Vessel Traffic System (VTS) simulator, Satellite Communication System Simulator - GMDSS, Hydro-Acoustic Simulator, Autopilot Simulator, Radar Simulator, Cargo Handling Simulator, Fishing Simulator, Operational Engine Room Simulator, Graphical Engine Room Simulator, Refrigeration Simulator, Marine Centrifugal Pump's Simulator. This makes the University one of the best-equipped by XXI century standards maritime universities in the world.
