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.

The publication is ideally suited for reference use by students, academicians, researchers

and professionals in the field of border control and related areas.
