Summary:

The technological developments of recent years have influenced both the threat of terrorist attacks and the defence against them, and continue to be the focus of attention.

This book presents the proceedings of the NATO Centre of Excellence - Defence against Terrorism (COE-DAT) Advanced Research Workshop, ""Technological Dimensions of Defence against Terrorism"", held in Ankara, Tur
