Theoretical and methodological bases of threats. The method of security management support
Journal Title: Operations Research and Decisions - Year 2014, Vol 24, Issue 3
Abstract
A new approach to threat analysis and management of security understood has been presented. Threats have been analyzed in a wide theoretical-methodological range with particular emphasis on the need for the system-wide analysis of threats in terms of social (sociological), psychological (psychology of the crowd) and religious aspects. A method supporting security management has been proposed, using two-person zero-sum games to model situations of conflict. The matrix, infinite, logical and topological forms of such games are considered.

On the core of a cost allocation problem under asymmetric information
We study a cost allocation problem under asymmetric information, and show that the ex ante incentive compatible core is non-empty. We also obtain a non-emptiness result for the incentive compatible coarse core, which is...
Efficiency measurement using nonparametric production analysis in the presence of undesirable outputs. Application to power plants
In order to deal with undesirable products in models of performance analysis, we need to replace the assumption of free disposability by weak disposability and this assumption has been used to model undesirable products...
Localizing of the atmospheric contamination source based on the Kori field tracer experiment data
Accidental releases of hazardous material into the atmosphere pose high risks to human health and the environment. Thus it would be valuable to develop an emergency reaction system which can recognize the probable locati...
On the state of budgetary balance over time via the one-way classification model
A study on the state of budgetary balance over time in an economy has been conducted. The planned revenues and expected expenditures contained in the budget statements over the years are used as economic instruments for...
Particulate matter air pollution in an urban area. A case study
Many European agglomerations suffer from high concentrations of particulate matter (PM), which is now one of the most detrimental pollutants characterizing the urban atmospheric environment. This paper addresses the prob...
