Technical Challenges Addressed by HST '10

Best paper awards will be made for each of the four technical tracks.

Experts will highlight key technical gaps and frame the technical challenges in protecting homeland assets. We seek papers that help close those gaps, securing classes of targets and preventing attacks against society:

(1) Homeland Cyber Security,

(2) Attack and Disaster Preparation, Recovery, and Response,

(3) Land and Maritime Border Security, and

(4) Counter-WMD Techniques and CIKR Physical Security.

HST History and Reputation

The IEEE Conference on Technologies for Homeland Security is the leading international conference that addresses critical homeland security technology issues. The conference has gained prominence and has a reputation for drawing the best people--you too will want to attend and share your expertise with the best from around the world.

HST '10 Conference Location and Date

The 2010 IEEE International Conference on Technologies for Homeland Security will be held on 8-10 November at The Westin Waltham Boston Hotel, located on the convenient and historic Rt. 128 (I - 95) in Waltham, MA. Waltham is near Boston, MA, is easily accessible from Logan Airport, and is home to many high tech companies.

HST '10 Conference Focus

The tenth annual IEEE Conference on Technologies for Homeland Security (IEEE HST '10) will focus on innovative technologies for deterring and preventing attacks, protecting critical infrastructure and individuals, and mitigating damage and expediting recovery. Submissions are desired in the broad areas of critical infrastructure and key resources protection (CIKR), border protection and monitoring, and disaster recovery and response, with application within about five years.

HST Stakeholders and Contributors

This conference brings together innovators from leading universities, research laboratories, Homeland Security Centers of Excellence, small businesses, system integrators, and the end user community and provides a forum to discuss ideas, concepts, and experimental results. Stakeholders continue to include federal, state, local, tribal, and private sector organizations. This year we seek to broaden the conference to include input from our international partners.

Expanded User and Business Emphasis in HST '10

The final track will focus on:

(5) Business Development and User Experience.
