Abstract

This chapter defines the objectives and the scope of the book. The differences between safety and security are explained, and the focus is determined to be cross-plant safety, which the book aims to tackle with the mathematical tools of game theory. The reader learns what exactly are chemical industrial parks, and how game theory may play an important role for cluster safety in such parks. A concise literature overview is also provided.
