Samenvatting

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 informationwarfare, while others provide quantitative modelling of military asset deployment inthe area of interest, or show the benefits of cooperative wireless sensor networks forborder control. A case study of the Dutch Border Security Team supplements the theory.
