Course objectives
At the end of the course the students should be able to estimate the possibilities to use ICT in social sciences in general with particular attention to research in the fields of security and military. They should be able make reasoned decisions about use of particular technique data gathering and processing in specific research, processing and coflict simulations. Participants acquire skills in the area of planing methods and using ICT when researching security, and an overview of the possibilities of applications of these technologies.
