The success of the First International Conference on Safety and Security Engineering held in Rome in 2005, has prompted the organisers to reconvene the meeting in 2007. The purpose of the meeting is to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of the most recent 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 applications 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; control; protection and mitigation issues.

The meeting aims to attract papers in all related fields, in addition to those listed under the conference topics on the Enquiry Form, 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.

Conference topics include; - Modelling and theoretical studies - Risk analysis, assessment and management - Novel techniques, systems and devices - Information and communication technologies - Integrated technological systems - Planning and strategic-decision making - Fire prevention and protection - Infrastructures protection - Industrial environment - Transportation problems - Population protection - Environmental protection - Emergency and disaster prevention, control, management and recovery - Terrorism prevention and protection - Case studies - Forensic studies
