Publisher's Synopsis
This book provides a comprehensive study of border control: from data analysis and
information warfare, frameworks for command and control, and game-theoretic risk
management, up to the (optimal) deployment of law enforcement missions.
Innovative about this book is that it approaches the subject from several angles, aiming
to connect theory and practice of law enforcement missions with risk management and/
or quantitative modelling. Some chapters focus on legal challenges and information
warfare, while others provide quantitative modelling of military asset deployment in
the area of interest, or show the benefits of cooperative wireless sensor networks for
border control. A case study of the Dutch Border Security Team supplements the theory.
and professionals in the field of border control and related areas.
H. Monsuur is Professor of Military Operations Research, J.M. Jansen is Associate
Professor of Operational ICT, and F.J. Marchal is Lecturer of International/Military
Law at the Faculty of Military Sciences of the Netherlands Defence Academy in Den
Helder, The Netherlands.
