However, no matter how important CAX are for the enhancement of training in the integrated security sector, practically a unified CAX management environment in civil security area is still missing. This environment would form an organizational system comprising concepts, approaches, methodologies, tools and means for effective process implementation and their improvement. A model of unified CAX management environment for concept development, selection of methodology, application of tools, detailed analyses, prognosis, evaluations and scientifically based solutions is presented here. This model is based on the most accepted method for the enhancement of effectiveness, result-oriented management, ensuring transparency and oversight &amp;ndash; the application of project management methodology for the entire management of CAX in civil security&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Velizar Shalamanov</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Computer Aided Dispatch – A Tool for Effect-Based Multinational and Interagency Operations</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Information &amp; Security: An International Journal</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CAX</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Computer Aided Dispatch</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Concept Development and Experimentation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">crisis management</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Effect-Based Operations</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">emergency management</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Integrated Security Sector</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">22</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">123-137</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">This article presents a general model for effect-based multinational and interagency operations coordination by means of a Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) tool. The focus is on the analysis of this model as integration based on CAD technology between incident, emergency, and crisis management C4ISR systems in order to be used in effect-based multinational/interagency operations with heavy military forces participation. A CAD-based C4 model for incident/emergency/crisis management requires a lot of tests before industry/field implementation owing to its complexity. This is the reason why the presented work considers the role of computer simulation experiments in driving this change, using the general process of Concept Development and Experimentation (CDE) used in NATO.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
