Topics of interest include:
* Critical Infrastructure Interdependency modeling and simuation; * Anomaly detection and Fault tolerant critical infrastructure; * Control and optimization in homeland security scenarios; * Risk prevention and disaster management tools; * Emergency management; * Intrusion detection; * Stealth attacks modelling, simulation and detection; * Patrolling and Border survilliance; . Rule play games for HS; . Simulation of human behavior in critical systuations; * Modelling and simulation of threats and enemy behaviour
