Invitation

Smart surveillance systems are increasingly becomin more widely used by police and security forces around the world. Such systems use technology to collect raw data via interlinked multisensor receptors to allow automated data processing, assessment and analysis as well as (semi) automated decision-making with the gathered data. This concerns both physical surveillance in key areas, such as border control and date monitoring on mobile devices, such as smart phones, and in cyberspace in key areas such as cyber-terrorism.

Conference will take place on 19th and 20th September in Brussels.
