AU - Sun, Mengting AU - Glässer, Uwe PY - 2012 DA - 2012/12/23 TI - An agent-based model and computational framework for counter-terrorism and public safety based on swarm intelligencea JO - Security Informatics SP - 23 VL - 1 IS - 1 AB - Public safety has been a great concern in recent years as terrorism occurs everywhere. When a public event is held in an urban environment like Olympic games or soccer games, it is important to keep the public safe and at the same time, to have a specific plan to control and rescue the public in the case of a terrorist attack. In order to better position public safety in communities against potential threats, it is of utmost importance to identify existing gaps, define priorities and focus on developing approaches to address those.
