e-navigation systems. You will perform research work in the field of 
cognitive modelling of seafarers’ decision making processes based on an 
existing model architecture. You will implement a cognitive modelling 
concept into executable program code in order to perform model-based 
simulations of various maritime scenarios. The resulting simulation 
platform will be applied for assessment of navigation system designs.
