Abstract

In this paper, we break down some aspects of modern surveillance systems within the context of the Wide InTegration of sensor Networks to Enable Smart Surveillance (WITNESS) NATO project. A brief description of the architecture of the system is presented, as well as several use case scenarios which WITNESS will cater for.
