MAST Americas Earlybird delegate places sold out
With just under two months still to go until MAST Americas, earlybird rate delegate places for the MAST Americas 2010 conference have sold out.
MAST’s organisers are happy to report a higher than average number of international government/service representatives in the early bookings – good news for exhibitors and fellow delegates alike.
Whilst earlybird delegate places are no longer available, organisers are swift to point out that:
- MAST Americas’ registration fees are extremely low and offer comprehensive value (including social functions, access to all sessions, delegate pack, etc.);
- Discount accommodation at the Hyatt Regency, Crystal City (the event venue) is still currently available – see: www.mastamericas.com/venue.asp for more details
Featured MAST Americas paper: Ship Identification through AIS
Author: Captain Robert Tremlett, exactEarth, Canada/UK
This paper will investigate the evolution of AIS enabling ships to identify themselves for the purpose of collision avoidance and VTS, to know where AIS base stations are used for ship routing and environmental monitoring, requiring monitoring of the busy coastal areas of the world, as well as port and waterway approaches.
The paper will then outline the results of our test satellite, NTS which has been orbiting the earth for the past two years, and introduce our exactAIS service that will commence in 2010 using polar orbiting microsatellites. Thus providing the ability to pick up AIS transmission of ships globally. The paper will then show how S-AIS will complement coastal AIS resulting in a Global AIS Solution, providing affordable possibility for monitoring remote coastlines, inland waterways and large ocean areas, providing an integrated Global AIS Solution.
Finally it will show how S-AIS will be a key enabling technology for e-navigation.
Delegates/visitors will be also be able to see demonstrations of exactEarth’s technology on their stand in the adjacent MAST Americas trade-show.
