However, it is important to ensure unintended consequences and balancing measures are mitigated. We review the background to their development a...

Both kinds of systems try to detect, identify and react before possible damage occurs and contribute to an integrated and aggregated situation report (big picture). A particular emphasis of Early Warning Systems is to ...
