| Description: |
The sixth International Conference on Safety and Security Engineering took place in Opatija, Croatia, organised by the University of Rome “La Sapienza”; the University of Split and the Wessex Institute. The co-chairmen representing those institutions were, respectively, Professors Fabio Garzia, Dragan Poljak and Carlos A Brebbia. The meeting followed the success of the other conferences in the series, which started in Rome (2005); followed by Malta (2007); Rome (2009); Antwerp (2011) and Rome (2013).In addition to the above mentioned institutions, the conference was sponsored by the International Journal on Safety and Security Engineering and the International Journal of Energy Production and Management, as well as the WIT Transactions on the Built Environment. The meeting provides a forum for the presentation and discussion of the most recent developments in the theoretical and practical aspects in the fields of Safety and Security Engineering, which brings together many engineering and scientific disciplines from the traditional to the most technologically advanced. The diversity of topics is reflected in the contents of the conference volume which cover from technical solutions to human resources, identifying procedures to prevent and mitigate induced or man-made events that can cause damage to people or property. The conference book is number 151 of the WIT Transactions on the Built Environment. It is being widely distributed throughout the world in paper and digital formats, and the papers are permanently archived in the eLibrary of the Institute (http://www.witpress.com/elibrary), where they are easily accessible to the international community. |
