--Overview--

This sixth Conference on Safety and Security Engineering follows the success of the first five meetings held in Rome (2005), Malta (2007), Rome (2009), Antwerp (2011) and Rome (2013). The purpose of the Conference is to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of the most recent academic and industrial 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 application that brings 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, and many others.

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. 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.

The conference is aimed at engineers, scientists, field researchers, managers and other specialists involved in one or more aspects of safety and security.
