## 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.
Aims and scope
The aim of this workshop is collecting and discussing new ideas and solutions that can be used to develop globally understood safe solutions connected with activities to strengthen national defense capability.
Target Audience
The event is aimed at both industry professionals and research/academic audience. Professionals will gain knowledge about basic concepts in Homeland defense, and become capable to manage defensive response capabilities. Researchers and academics will develop together with industry professionals the new solutions, technologies and security instruments that underpin international peace and security into the electronic age.
