NATO Science for Peace and Security Series
This Series presents the results of scientific meetings supported under the NATO
Programme: Science for Peace and Security (SPS).
The NATO SPS Programme supports meetings in the following Key Priority areas: (1)
Defence Against Terrorism; (2) Countering other Threats to Security and (3) NATO,
Partner and Mediterranean Dialogue Country Priorities. The types of meeting supported
are generally “Advanced Study Institutes” and “Advanced Research Workshops” . The
NATO SPS Series collects together the results of these meetings. The meetings are
co-organized by scientists from NATO countries and scientists from NATO’s “Partner” or
“Mediterranean Dialogue” countries. The observations and recommendations made at
the meetings, as well as the contents of the volumes in the Series, reflect those of
participants and contributors only; they should not necessarily be regarded as reflecting
NATO views or policy.
Advanced Study Institutes (ASI) are high-level tutorial courses to convey the latest
developments in a subject to an advanced-level audience.
Advanced Research Workshops (ARW) are expert meetings where an intense but
informal exchange of views at the frontiers of a subject aims at identifying directions for
future action.
Following a transformation of the programme in 2006, the Series has been re-named and
re-organised. Recent volumes on topics not related to security, which result from meetings
supported under the programme earlier, may be found in the NATO Science Series.
The Series is published by IOS Press, Amsterdam, and Springer, Dordrecht, in conjunction
with the NATO Emerging Security Challenges Division.
