The OCEAN SYSTEMS ENGINEERING focuses on the new research and development efforts to advance the understanding of sciences and technologies in ocean systems engineering. The main subject of the journal is the multi-disciplinary engineering of ocean systems. Areas covered by the journal include; * Undersea technologies: AUVs, submersible robot, manned/unmanned submersibles, remotely operated underwater vehicle, sensors, instrumentation, measurement, and ocean observing systems; * Ocean systems technologies: ocean structures and structural systems, design and production, ocean process and plant, fatigue, fracture, reliability and risk analysis, dynamics of ocean structure system, probabilistic dynamics analysis, fluid-structure interaction, ship motion and mooring system, and port engineering; * Ocean hydrodynamics and ocean renewable energy, wave mechanics, buoyancy and stability, sloshing, slamming, and seakeeping; * Multi-physics based engineering analysis, design and testing: underwater explosions and their effects on ocean vehicle systems, equipments, and surface ships, survivability and vulnerability, shock, impact and vibration; * Modeling and simulations; * Underwater acoustics technologies.

The primary aim of the IJOPE is to serve engineers and researchers worldwide by disseminating technical information of permanent interest in the fields of offshore, ocean, polar energy/resources and materials engineering. The IJOPE is the principal periodical of The International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers (ISOPE), which is very active in the dissemination of technical information and organization of symposia and conferences in these fields throughout the world. Theoretical, experimental and engineering research papers are welcome. Brief reports of research results or outstanding engineering achievements of likely interest to readers will be published in the Technical Notes format.
