Overview
Volumes

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

Security issues:

- process, chemical (storage), pharmaceutical, and nuclear plants, oil and gas refineries, transportation of hazardous materials

- water distribution systems due to their capability of spreading toxic substances to large extents

Security of Flood Defenses

Jos de Lange

Volume 2 in this series

This book presents new approaches to security risk analysis and scenario building on the basis of water works such as flood barriers and storm surge barriers. Defending flood barriers is not only important because of climate change and rising sea levels, but also due to the vulnerability of fresh water supplies and the increasing number of people living in vulnerable low-lying river and sea deltas.

This book deals with the state-of-the-art of physical security knowledge and research in the chemical and process industries. Legislation differences between Europe and the USA are investigated, followed by an overview of the how, what and why of contemporary security risk assessment in this particular industrial sector. Innovative solutions such as attractiveness calculations and the use of game theory, advancing the present science of adversarial risk analysis, are discussed. The book further stands up for developing and employing dynamic security risk assessments, for instance based on Bayesian networks, and using OR methods to truly move security forward in the chemical and process industries.
