IEEE brings you researchers, developers, practitioners, policy makers, and other stakeholders, who grapple with the onslaught of terrorism around the world through direct application to present day threats, as well as those focused on future solutions. The conference will provide a forum to discuss ideas, concepts, use cases, and applications for both theoretical and real-world results for anti-terrorism activities that utilize technology.

Subjects to be covered include:

  • Communications cybersecurity,
  • Weapons detection,
  • Biometric recognition,
  • Prevention of and response to terrorism with robotics,
  • Political and social intersection of technology and terrorist behavior.
