This book collects the papers presented at the 7th International
Conference on Risk Analysis and Crisis Response (RACR-2019) held in
Athens, Greece, on October 15-19, 2019. The overall theme of the
seventh international conference on risk analysis and crisis
response is Risk Analysis Based on Data and Crisis Response Beyond
Knowledge, highlighting science and technology to improve risk
analysis capabilities and to optimize crisis response strategy.
This book contains primarily research articles of risk issues.
Underlying topics include natural hazards and major (chemical)
accidents prevention, disaster risk reduction and society
resilience, information and communication technologies safety and
cybersecurity, modern trends in crisis management, energy and
resources security, critical infrastructure, nanotechnology safety
and others. All topics include aspects of multidisciplinarity and
complexity of safety in education and research. The book should be
valuable to professors, engineers, officials, businessmen and
graduate students in risk analysis and risk management.

RACR is a series of biennial international conferences on risk
analysis, crisis response, and disaster prevention for specialists
and stakeholders. RACR-2015, held June 1-3, 2015 in Tangier,
Morocco, was the fifth conference in this series, following the
successful RACR-2007 in Shanghai (China), RACR-2009 in Beijing
(China), RACR-2011 in Laredo (USA) and RACR-2013 in Istanbul
(Turkey). To raise risk awareness within small countries and
emerging economies, RACR-2015 chose the following theme: Emerging
Economies, Risk and Development, and Intelligent Technology. This
volume is composed of 77 high-quality papers submitted to RACR-2015
that have passed a rigorous peer review process, reflecting
state-of-the-art research from around the world. The contributions
cover almost all risk fields such as risk identification, risk
assessment, risk evaluation and risk management. The conference
topics included economic risk, catastrophic accidents, debt crisis,
public health, uncertainty plague, threats to social safety,
humanitarian logistics, terrorism events, managing risk for
development, emerging risk, risk evaluation modeling, energy and
resources, multi-criteria risk assessment, food and feed safety,
risk radar, global climate change, internet of intelligences,
Islamic banking, and natural disasters among others.
In this present internet age, risk analysis and crisis response
based on information will make up a digital world full of
possibilities and improvements to people's daily life and
capabilities. These services will be supported by more intelligent
systems and more effective decisionmaking. This book contains all
the papers presented at the 4th International Conference on Risk
Analysis and Crisis Response, August 27-29, 2013, Istanbul, Turkey.
The theme was intelligent systems and decision making for risk
analysis and crisis response. The risk issues in the papers cluster
around the following topics: natural disasters, finance risks, food
and feed safety, catastrophic accidents, critical infrastructure,
global climate change, project management, supply chains, public
health, threats to social safety, energy and environment. This
volume will be of interest to all professionals and academics in
the field of risk analysis, crisis response, intelligent systems
and decision-making, as well as related fields of enquiry.
When we learn from books or daily experience, we make associations
and draw inferences on the basis of information that is
insufficient for under standing. One example of insufficient
information may be a small sample derived from observing
experiments. With this perspective, the need for de veloping a
better understanding of the behavior of a small sample presents a
problem that is far beyond purely academic importance. During the
past 15 years considerable progress has been achieved in the study
of this issue in China. One distinguished result is the principle
of in formation diffusion. According to this principle, it is
possible to partly fill gaps caused by incomplete information by
changing crisp observations into fuzzy sets so that one can improve
the recognition of relationships between input and output. The
principle of information diffusion has been proven suc cessful for
the estimation of a probability density function. Many successful
applications reflect the advantages of this new approach. It also
supports an argument that fuzzy set theory can be used not only in
"soft" science where some subjective adjustment is necessary, but
also in "hard" science where all data are recorded."

This book collects the papers presented at the 6th International
Conference on Risk Analysis and Crisis Response (RACR-2017) held in
Ostrava/Prague, Czech Republic, on June 5-9, 2017, organized by
VSB-Technical University of Ostrava, Czech Republic. The overall
theme of the sixth international conference on risk analysis and
crisis response is Risk Analysis and Management - Trends,
Challenges and Emerging Issues, highlighting science and technology
to improve risk analysis capabilities and to optimize crisis
response strategy. This book contains primarily research articles
of risk issues. Underlying topics include natural hazards and major

officials, businessmen and graduate students in risk analysis and
risk management. About the book series Communications in
Cybernetics, Systems Science and Engineering - Proceedings (CCSSEP)
is a cross-disciplinary book series devoted to theoretical and
applied research contributions, that cater to a rapidly growing
worldwide interest in a cybernetic and systemic methodology with an
ever-increasing capacity to deal with new challenges in a way that
traditional science cannot. The series aims to become a
comprehensive reference work on and guide to developments within
the field and strategies required for better implementation of
advances, with a view to environmental protection and sustainable
social and economic development. The CCSSE series targets all
working in theoretical and applied fields of cybernetics, systems
science and engineering, e.g. academics, researchers and
consultants, computer and information scientists, development and
systems engineers, mathematicians, management cyberneticists and
systemists, medical scientists, and intelligent and manufacturing
engineers in industry, as well as leading decision- and
policy-makers. Series editor: Jeffrey 'Yi-Lin' Forrest
