Presentation held at Healthgrid Conference 2011 - Bristol, England
Abstract. This paper presents the architecture of the Virtual Imaging Platform supporting the execution of medical image simulation workflows on multiple computing infrastructures. The system relies on the MOTEUR engine for workflow execution and on the DIRAC pilot-job system for workload management. The jGASW code wrapper is extended to describe applications running on multiple infrastructures and a DIRAC cluster agent that can securely involve personal cluster resources with no administrator intervention is proposed. Grid data management is complemented with local storage used as a failover in case of file transfer errors. Between November 2010 and April 2011 the platform was used by 10 users to run 484 workflow instances representing 10.8 CPU years. Tests show that a small personal cluster can significantly contribute to a simulation running on EGI and that the improved data manager can decrease the job failure rate from 7.7% to 1.5%.

2. When motion is detected, the Raspberry Pi uses the connected camera to record a video of the area with the date and time as the file name.
3. The recorded video is then emailed to the user using a Mutt email client. This notifies the user of any intrusion and provides a video of the event.

Presentation #7: FlexTiles Emulation platform
FlexTiles is a heterogeneous many-core platform reconfigurable at run-time developed within an FP7 project.
The security flaws of legacy GSM networks, which lack of mutual authentication and implement an outdated encryption algorithm, are well understood among the technology community. Moreover, until now, the main cellular vulnerabilities being discovered and exploited in the mobile security research field were based on 2G base stations and GSM open source implementations. The Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the newest standard being deployed globally for mobile communications, and is generally considered secure. LTE’s mutual authentication and strong encryption schemes result in the false assumption that LTE networks are not vulnerable to, for example, rogue base stations, IMSI catchers and protocol exploits. However, these threats are also possible in LTE. Before the authentication and encryption steps of an LTE connection are executed, a mobile device engages in a substantial exchange of unprotected messages with *any* LTE base station (real or rogue) that advertises itself with the right broadcast information. Eavesdropping or spoofing these messages can be leveraged to implement a long list of exploits to which all LTE mobile devices are vulnerable. This talk will demonstrate how to eavesdrop LTE base station broadcast messages, and how to implement full-LTE IMSI catchers and other LTE protocol exploits, such as blocking SIMs and devices. Details will be provided as well on a previously unknown technique to track the location of mobile devices as the connection moves from tower to tower. We will discuss as well the necessary toolset to implement these and other exploits, which are possible with simply $1.5k worth of off-the-shelf hardware and some modifications of the code of widely available LTE open source implementations.

This project is an R&D project focused on automatic target detection/recognition and behaviour analysis. Main purpose is: to continuously incorporate academic enhancements into our existing image processing capabilities, Provide an add-on to Image Exploitation Systems , Study a net-centric architecture for image intelligence systems.
In this slide, architectural study view for GOKHAN Project is provided. Here, it is assumed that user has multiple data sources at the same time. Also user will need to have a high capacity image library to store the data and metadata in separate repositories. Details of this high capacity library is given in the next slide separatly. Also in this scenario exploitation results are disemminated through network centric approach. Results are made available and accesible to users located in a distance to the where the exploitation services are served.
As mentioned in the previous slide, architectural study includes a high capacity imagery library. The imagery data stored in this library is made available to the relevant parties using secure and standards based interfaces. The library interface is NATO STANAG-4559 compliant. Maps stored in the center are also served in compliance with the OGC standards. All intelligence data is made available via HTML5 compliant web interfaces, which allows using mobile devices such as tablet PCs or smatphones to access the data.
In this slide we shall go over a scenario: ------- Let’s consider the conventional operation of a UAV system. A troop requring intelligence submits an Intelligence Request or a Reconnaissance Request to be handled by that specific UAV fleet. A UAV is planned for the intelligence task, the received imagery is exploited and the resulting intelligence is disseminated to the related parties including the requesting troop. This is the conventional imagery intelligence approach. In the conventional imagery intelligence approach, the imagery data acquired during the mission is stored and managed in the ground system specific to the platform. Exploitation is also performed in ground systems specifically designed the platform. Dissemination of the data is very limited. Data dissemination is either totally offline or only part of the data is disseminated. In the conventional imagery intelligence approach, it is not possible to effectively integrate data acquired from multiple systems. In addition, it is not easy for troops in the field to access the platform data. Generally only live data is accessible, if the troop has the receiving equipment and RVT (Remote Video Terminal) compliant with the specific platform, and only while the platform is near enough. Apart from that, it is not possible for the troops to access previously recorded imagery or intelligence data, let alone accessing data from multiple platforms. In the network centric approach, the scenario explained for the classical approach is considered as the Operational Level. ----------------- Now, consider an Imagery Intelligence Center where live and offline data from multiple sources including UAVs, satellites, reconnaissance aircrafts, etc is collected. This center can have a high capacity, reliable and fast data storage combined with necessary services which acts as an imagery library. In this center, imagery from multiple sources can effectively be integrated and fused. This allows enhanced imagery intelligence due to access to imagery from many different sources. Additionally, it can be possible to detect higher level events, which cannot be perceived by looking at any available single imagery, by fusing and analyzing data from multiple sources. This center can also disseminate live and processed data to commanders at the head quarters. These capabilities are considered as Strategic Level. -------------------- Imagery Intelligence Center can also disseminate data to the troops in the field using a secure network infrastructure. In this approach, troops use a Network-Centric RVT rather than a classical RVT. A Network-Centric RVT uses standard secure network protocols to access live and processed IMINT data, which eliminates the use of platform specific receiving equipment totally. A single Network-Centric RVT allows the troops to access live imagery from many different imagery sources. In addition to live data, previously recorded data or the current intelligence picture of the battlefield can be accessed using a Network-Centric RVT. Network-Centric RVT and the services provided at the IIC for the proper operation of Network-Centric RVT are considered as the Tactical Level ----------------- The Network-Centric Imagery Intelligence Solution explained in this slide addresses the imagery intelligence in all levels: Tactical, Operational and Strategic.

MilSOFT’s Network Centric Image Intelligence Capabilities and Solutions will be explained in two parts. In the first part, MilSOFT’s contribution to UAV Programmes and a network-centric imagery intelligence solutions will be explained . Then, a brief information on general image processing capabilities to form the solutions will be provided.
In this slide, general image/vieo processing capabilities of MilSOFT are shown. MilSOFT has the following target detection tracking capabilities: Moving Target Detection on EO/IR Video Streams : This capability is generally used for detecting humans or vehicles moving in a region. Target Tracking on EO/IR Video Streams : This capability allows the operators to mark a target and track the target in the video as the mark is locked to the target (moves with the target). Hot Spot Detection on IR Video and IR Still Images : This capability allows detection of campfires and similar hot objects in IR image and videos. Fixed Target Indication and Cluster Detection on SAR Images : This capability allows detections of targets with a high RCS (radar cross section). Generally speaking this capability allows detection of military ground targets which are mostly metallic with high RCS. Moving Target Visualization and Tracking on GMTI : GMTI data usually includes plot-only data, this capaility allows generating track information from plots. Change Detection can be summaries as follows: Change Detection on SAR Images : Detection of changed image regions by automatically comparing two images acquired in different times (possibly from different angles) Change Detection on Video Streams Change Detection on EO/IR Still Images Detection of Unattended Objects or Removed Objects on Video Streams Analysis Capabilities in brief Road-Bridge-Building Detection Detection of Urbanization Smoke/Fire Detection Runway and Airport Detection Area Intrusion Detection
Illustration of IR hot spot detection is provided in the slide.

This capability allows detection of buildings from images. The capability can also be used for damage assessment as the algorithm detects only undamaged buildings.
In this slide, general image manipulation capabilities of MilSOFT are shown.
The images in a video sequence are registered and a mosaic is generated while the video is playing. Example outputs are shown in the slide.

Brief photogrammetry capabilities are shown in the slide.
Brief image annotation capabilities are shown in the upper section of the slide. In the lower section brief intelligence request and reporting capabilities and compliant NATO STANAG’s are shown.
Exploitation tools provide the operator to analyze and image together with the recent images of the same region along with the maps of the region. The operator is provided with a wide range of analysis tools including coordinate, distance, area and direction measurement tools. The operator can perform exploitation by using the annotation tools for graphically and textually annotating the imagery. In addition, findings (targets) can be managed in a standards compliant interface. The history of findings can be tracked. The operator can also anlyze the previously prepared reports for the same geographical region.
Brief data reception capabilities and compliant NATO STANAG’s are shown in the upper section of the slide. In the lower section brief data visualization capabilities are shown.
Using the telemetry data acquired together with the imagery data, the operators can monitor the current position of the UAV and the area currently observed.
Specialized viewers are provided for the operators to display and analyze the following data: Video SAR imagery GMTI
