Rogue Waves 2004

Since the Rogue Waves 2000 workshop, significant advances have been made in the proposition of models and descriptions that may improve our understanding of rogue waves. Questions arise now on how those results should influence standard practices in the shipbuilding and offshore industries, and whether they allow to improve forecast and warning systems. The Brest Rogue Waves 2004 workshop gathered again many scientists and engineers to an opportunity to confront and discuss their views on the subject.
