'International defence and homeland security simulation workshop', Vienna, Austria
29 September 2012 - 29 September 2012
Austria
An event entitled 'International defence and homeland security simulation workshop' will take place from 19 to 21 September 2012 in Vienna, Austria.
Freely flowing international trade, carried predominantly by ocean-going vessels, has been one the major contributor to the global prosperity in the second-half of the 20th century. However, the proximity of major seaports to urban centers and the volume and diversity of seaport activities render them vulnerable targets, where even small incidents could have crippling economic effects.
Increasingly important security operations must strike a balance between providing security and impeding the movement of cargo. This workshop will explore a wide variety of topics at the interface of port security, safety and port operations, with an emphasis on technical tools using mathematical modeling, risk analysis, and new algorithmic approaches. Such models can assist in analysing the effectiveness of interdiction measures and the disruptive impact of high-consequence events in and around port complexes, as well as assessing the effectiveness of strategies to mitigate and recover from such events.
The event will bring together experts for the purpose of presenting and discussing all type of innovation related to the use of modeling and simulation in defense and homeland security applications.For further information, please visit: http://www.msc-les.org/Conf/DHSS2012/index_file/PortsandLittoralProtection.htm(opens in new window)
