Selected Papers from the 4th Asian Wave and Tidal Energy Conference

The AWTEC conference was first held in Jejiu, Korea, in 2012. Then it was held in Tokyo and Singapore every two years. Very quickly, this conference series became the most reputable event on ocean energy in Asia. The event is a platform for engineers, researchers, and experts to keep abreast of the current state-of-the-art advancements in ocean energy in a broad sense, ranging from wave energy, tidal energy, ocean thermal energy, ocean current energy, to offshore wind energy. It encompasses technical, environmental, and economic issues. With high-quality papers and presentations, it promotes marine energy advancement in an interdisciplinary spectrum.

AWTEC 2018 will cooperate with Journal of Marine Science and Engineering (JMSE), an open access journal, to prepare a Special Issue for papers presented at the conference. Prospective authors are cordially invited to submit their high-quality papers from AWTEC 2018 to be considered for publication in the journal.
