Advanced Technologies for Homeland Defense and Security

Submission Due: October 26, 2012
*****************************************************************************/ 


- Overview

Security subjects are becoming hugely important in the light of the 
development and deployment of new Homeland Defense solutions. Such 
solutions require the design of new computer systems and techniques 
allowing security procedures to be executed on many different planes, 
from system, communication and organization security to the security of 
the state and ensuring its defense capabilities. Advanced IT 
technologies based on intelligent algorithms that can analyze group 
behavior and interpret complex patterns or situations are increasingly 
frequently becoming the building blocks of the above solutions. In this 
context, it is worth noting research that combines security and defense 
aspects with achievements in designing advanced systems for the 
acquisition and sophisticated semantic analysis of complex image 
patterns and group behaviors. Such systems use cognitive models of 
semantic interpretation and can be applied to develop e.g. algorithms 
and protocols used for the security of computer systems themselves, but 
also to ensure the confidentiality and security of communication 
networks. They can also be employed to develop globally understood safe 
solutions connected with activities to strengthen national defense 
capability.

This special issue focuses on the challenges and solutions for Homeland 
Defense and Security (HDS). We believe that it will provide the latest 
issues and progress in the area of HDS while publishing high quality 
papers which are closely related to the various theories and practical 
applications in HDS.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

Homeland Security and Information Processing
Personal Security and Biometric
Intelligent Robots and Unmanned Vehicles
Target and Pattern Recognition
Sensor and Data Analysis
Semantic Image and Data Processing
Information Fusion
Advanced Vision Algorithms
Security in Ambient Intelligence
