This report describes the CEL Mooring Dynamics Seminar, which was held on 10-11 



January 1980. Nine experts, selected to represent the major disciplines relevant to mooring 



analysis, were invited to attend and informally discuss the field of mooring simulation. 



These discussions resulted in identification of the present state-of-the-art and promising 



research topics in mooring simulation. Suggestions were also made towards advancing the 



state-of-the-art in nonlinear systems identification techniques. This report summarizes
