Crisis Management, Safety and Security

Together with Linköping University and various external partners we participate in research on safety and security in complex systems. For instance, simulations can be used to simulate environments that people interact with, synthesizing critical aspects of real-world environments and tasks that are subject of scientific investigation. Simulations offer great benefits of cost-efficiency, safety, and controllability of these environments. Within the area of crisis and emergency management we have experience with the design, preparation, performance, and analysis of various forms of emergency management exercises, operational and role-playing games. Also within the area of command and control, and dynamic decision making, we use various microworld simulations, such as C3Fire and DKE, which simulate critical aspects of (command and control) decision making in complex and dynamic, yet controllable environments. Other researchers specialize in epidemiological simulation which is a highly actual research topic in societal security research.
