Agenda:

12:30 – 13:15 Lunch and Networking

13:20 – 14:00 Welcome and introduction - Dr Chris Mace
The big picture
Some specifics:

• Non-linear pattern recognition


• Image/pattern recognition at mm wavelengths


• Sensing as effectively as dog noses


• Identifying single very high impact events in large data-sets

Pushing at the limits

14:00 – 14:40 Representative from MOD Science Innovation and Technology Strategy
Potential Role of mathematics in all source intelligence analysis – analysing and combination of intelligence from multiple sources such as imagery, open sources and human intelligence. Topics to be covered:

• Approaches to All-Source Intelligence Analysis


• The role mathematics might play


• Some challenges

14:40 - 15:20 Representative from the Counter Terrorism Centre
Application of mathematics in Counter Terrorism. Topics to be covered:

• The prediction of Risk


• The prediction of probability


• Role of mathematics in counter improvised explosive detection (IED) operations e.g. electronic counter measures

15:20 - 15:50 Networking, tea and coffee

15:50 - 16:30 Representative of Physical Science Department, Defence Science Technology Laboratories
Topics to be covered:

• The development of metamodelling techniques to analyse complex, large scale computer simulations with mixed inputs and complex, multidimensional outputs


• The development of general algorithms for distributed signal fusion in a network of sensors

16:30-17:00 Wrap-up, refreshment and further networking
