Effective Surveillance for Homeland Security: Balancing Technology
and Social Issues provides a comprehensive survey of
state-of-the-art methods and tools for the surveillance and
protection of citizens and critical infrastructures against natural
and deliberate threats. Focusing on current technological
challenges involving multi-disciplinary problem analysis and
systems engineering approaches, it provides an overview of the most
relevant aspects of surveillance systems in the framework of
homeland security. Addressing both advanced surveillance
technologies and the related socio-ethical issues, the book
consists of 21 chapters written by international experts from the
various sectors of homeland security. Part I, Surveillance and
Society, focuses on the societal dimension of
surveillance-stressing the importance of societal acceptability as
a precondition to any surveillance system. Part II, Physical and
Cyber Surveillance, presents advanced technologies for
surveillance. It considers developing technologies that are part of
a framework whose aim is to move from a simple collection and
storage of information toward proactive systems that are able to
fuse several information sources to detect relevant events in their
early incipient phase. Part III, Technologies for Homeland
Security, considers relevant applications of surveillance systems
in the framework of homeland security. It presents real-world case
studies of how innovative technologies can be used to effectively
improve the security of sensitive areas without violating the
rights of the people involved. Examining cutting-edge research
topics, the book provides you with a comprehensive understanding of
the technological, legislative, organizational, and management
issues related to surveillance. With a specific focus on privacy,
it presents innovative solutions to many of the issues that remain
in the quest to balance security with the preservation of privacy
that society demands.
