Abstract

This article will present a synoptical review of key developments in Computer-Aided Ship Design since its inception about five decades ago. Milestone events and major innovations will be identified in several categories of ship design application with the principal emphasis on the methodologies, the modeling and the integration of the ship design process. The discussion will address many specific subtasks of ship design on the common platform of a human-guided, computer-based decision process.
