ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book serves as the foundation for further research into Cameroon’s security system using complexity science methods such as computer simulations. It argues that computer simulations offer several benefits, such as the ability to understand the step-by-step operation of the system, the key parameters within the system, the nature of the agents in the system, the nature of interactions between agents and between systems, and how quickly these agents learn. The book provides the theoretical foundation for the computational modelling of security systems and analytics to aid policy development and analysis. An important advantage of computer simulations is that they enable studies which may be challenging or even impossible using real agents. Such a simulation enables the identification of the optimal level of connectivity between agents and between systems to guarantee resilience that provides security in terms of freedom to and freedom from.
