Sažetak
Dear colleagues, dear friends, This year I had the honour of writing you a few introductory words. First of all, I cannot tell you enough how happy I am to see you live again, or rather offline. It has not been easy to get through this strange time. We have been dealing with a global pandemic caused by the coronavirus, which has really disrupted a lot of things, including many conferences and meetings around the world. Unfortunately, some of them have either closed down altogether or the organisers have decided to go online only. Apart from the fact that the development of technology nowadays does not allow us to communicate easily through various applications, which we all had the pleasure to get to know, we are still convinced that nothing can replace direct contact, discussions, making contacts, establishing new ones and/or deepening existing ones, all in the most classical way – live and on site. Given the above reasons and constraints, we also struggled with various hybrid approaches during the pandemic, but at no point did we think of postponing the conference. Just as it was not easy for others, it was not easy for us either, but that is why we are even happier and prouder to welcome you this year at the 16th Baška GNSS Conference and the 3rd Workshop on Smart, Blue and Green Maritime Technologies in a row. If we look back a few years, the Baška conference was traditionally primarily focused on GNSS and related technologies and applications. In the meantime, we have expanded it with the Workshop on Smart, Blue and Green Maritime Technologies, with which we actually wanted not only to attract a larger number of interested researchers, but also to additionally emphasise the connection between satellite navigation systems and all other maritime fields, especially in the context of guidance, navigation and control of modern vessels. Nowadays, we can truly say that we are witnessing an incredibly rapid development of technologies based primarily on artificial intelligence, but also on other advanced computational solutions, which in turn is directly reflected in the possibilities of autonomous systems and autonomous vessels in general. The synergy of satellite navigation technologies, inertial navigation, classical and intelligent sensors, ship hydrodynamics, energy systems and propulsion, digitalisation, automation, robotics, artificial intelligence, security, etc. has never been more in the spotlight than in recent times, and will continue to be so in the coming period. In this context, we want to ensure that our conference remains a lever for holding constructive discussions in the aforementioned areas in the future. None of this would have been possible without the synergy of all of us, i.e. everyone who contributed in some way – keynote speakers, authors and coauthors of papers, presenters of papers and posters, reviewers, members of the International Programme Committee and the Organising Committee. A heartfelt thank you to them all. A big thank you also goes to our institutions, i.e. the coorganisers of the event, for their active support and help, both in terms of organisation and logistics as well as in financially. I believe that the difficult times are now slowly behind us and that we will meet and socialize in even greater numbers at the next conference, to which I cordially and openly invite you. Be well and take care.
