SAFE 2009 - 3rd international conference on safety and security engineering

The success of the first two International Conferences on Safety and Security Engineering held in Rome in 2005, and Malta in 2007, has prompted the organisers to reconvene the meeting in 2009. The purpose of the Conference is to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of the most recent developments in the theoretical and practical aspects of Safety and Security Engineering.

Safety and Security Engineering, due to its special nature, is an interdisciplinary area of research and applications that bring together in a systematic view, many disciplines of engineering, from the traditional to the most technologically advanced. The conference covers areas such as crisis management; security engineering; natural disasters and emergencies; terrorism; IT security; man-made hazards; risk management; control; protection and mitigation issues.

The meeting aims to attract papers in all related fields, in addition to those listed under the Conference Topics, as well as case studies describing practical experiences. The study of multifactor risk impact will be given special emphasis. Due to the multitude and variety of topics included, the list is only indicative of the themes of the expected papers. Authors are encouraged to submit abstracts in all areas of Safety and Security, with particular attention to integrated and interdisciplinary aspects.
