Call for Papers - Forum 2020

On behalf of the Organisation And Program Committee of the Resilient Critical Infrastructure - 5^th Zagreb Security Forum: Hybrid Threats and Wars in 21st Century - here is a Call for papers for Forum 2020, which will be held on March 13-14, 2020. 

 

Analysing the processes of preparation, leadership, response, and endings of modern security threats and wars, as well as the conclusions of the Zagreb Security Forum 2019, we consider it necessary to look at these processes even deeper, and better. Further intensifying the collaboration between scientists and practitioners, on national, regional and international levels, it is imperative that threatening security processes could be sufficiently recognized early enough in order to be prepared for an effective response.
One of the key segments of modern security threats, according to ZSF 2019 conclusions, is tailored and embedded disinformation that is trying to influence the cognitive processes of target audiences. A successful distribution of disinformation can be compared with seedling in agriculture. Both of those two activities, in order to be successful, needs quality preparation. It is precisely this process of preparing a target audience for exposure to disinformation, that can be utilized as an early warning signal. Therefore, we need to develop models in order to timely and reliably recognise these signals.
