Risk Analysis VI : Simulation and Hazard Mitigation (Wit Transactions on Information and Communication Technologies)

This book contains papers presented at RISK 2008, the 6th International Conference on Computer Simulation Risk Analysis and Hazard Mitigation, covering a series of important topics which are of current research interest and have practical applications. This volume contains contributions in many aspects of risk analysis and hazard mitigation, ranging from specific amounts of risk mitigation associated with both natural and anthropogenic hazards.

The proceedings have been arranged into the following sections: Estimation of Risk; Risk Management; Vulnerability; Geomorphic Risk; Network Systems; Climate Change Risks; Hazard Prevention, Management and Control; Security in Public Places - the SERKET Project; Transportation Safety; Safe Ship Operations.
