About this ebook

The series on Integrated Security Science is aimed at publishing innovative scholarly manuscripts that make a significant contribution – theoretically or empirically – to all areas of integrated security. Of particular interest are articles that combine science, technology, and regulations to invent sophisticated yet practical solutions for securing hazardous materials (preventing from either intentional release of hazardous materials or theft of hazardous materials) in various domains including: chemical plants, power plants (nuclear, LNG, etc.), oil and gas refineries, pipelines, transportation of hazardous materials, drinking water systems. To limit the scope of the journal, the following areas are excluded: computer and information security if not integrated into physical security; law security from a purely psychological perspective; and international security (e.g., conflicts, wars, etc.).

The scope of the series includes, but is not limited to:

 Analysis of security challenges in major hazardous installations

 Innovative probabilistic and deterministic approaches to threat assessment

 Vulnerability assessment of major hazardous installations under intentional events

 Consequence analysis of intentional events with an emphasis on cascading effects

 Security-based decision making and design

 Optimization of counter-terrorism measures

 Economic assessment of integrated security
