An Overview. The United States of America (hereinafter, ‘the United States’) is made up of fifty states and a federal district. Politically, the United States is a federal constitutional republic state244 with a written constitution. The federal government comprises three branches, each of which has its own power and influence. These branches are: (1) Legislative; (2) Executive; and (3)

An Overview. The United Kingdom consists of Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland) and Northern Ireland. Its capital city is London and its official language is English. Politically, the country is a unitary parliamentary democracy state5 with a constitutional monarchy system6. The head of the United Kingdom is the Queen7 and the head of Government is the Prime Minister. The United Kingdom Parliament comprises two houses: the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The United Kingdom legal system is governed by three distinct systems of laws: (1) English and Welsh law, which applies in England and Wales, (2) Northern Ireland law, which applies in Northern Ireland, and (3) Scots law, which applies in Scotland. The English, Welsh and Northern Ireland laws are based on common law principles. However, the Scots law is a pluralistic system based on civil law principles with common law elements.8 The UK is a member state of European Union, a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, a member of the Commonwealth of Nations and a member of the World Trade Organization, among many others.9 Economically, the United Kingdom is the eighth largest economy in the world by purchasing power parity.10 It is a developed country with traditional industries including iron, steel production, coalmining, shipbuilding, aircraft, and textiles. Other industries include, to name a few, automobile manufacturing, electronic products, food processing, and chemicals. The 5 The unitary system, in contrast to a federal system, is a system whereby a sovereign state is governed as one single unit in which the central government is supreme and any sub-national units exercise only such powers as the central government chooses to delegate. Around the end of 1997, devolution took place in the United Kingdom Governmental system. This involved transferring a range of powers from the United Kingdom central government to its sub-national units. In this case, the United Kingdom Parliament transferred powers involving matters of education and health, among others, to its national parliament or assemblies: the Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales, and the Northern Ireland Assembly. However, the scope of those powers differs between each political institution. With respect to the country’s national policy on matters such as foreign affairs, defence, social security and trade, they remain the United Kingdom Government’s responsibility.

An Overview. A. The ACSA Acquisition and Cross-Servicing Agreements enable deployed U.S. forces to acquire and exchange logistic supplies, services, and support (LSSS) with eligible foreign countries and international organizations on a reimbursable basis.12 The purpose of an ACSA is to provide commanders with a flexible means to exchange logistic support with multinational forces, particularly during emergencies and unforeseen circumstances.13 Without ACSA authority, U.S. forces would be required to use formal acquisitions procedures to secure LSSS, and they would be prohibited from transferring LSSS to foreign countries without reimbursement.14 Through the ACSA program, Congress empowered deployed commanders to address unforeseen logistic needs by exchanging LSSS with multinational partners.15 B. A Retrospective During the 1970s, the United States dramatically decreased the number of troops stationed in foreign countries.16 As troop levels decreased, U.S. forces became more dependent on contracting for their logistics support.17 However, the burdensome processes of formal commercial contracting and foreign military sales impeded logistic support in the field and undermined foreign relations.18 For example, if a U.S. commander wanted to “feed a company of U.S. troops in an allied mess hall (because they were 12 10 U.S.C. §§ 2341–2350 (2013); see DODD 2010.9, supra note 11, para.

An Overview. A crude flowchart of a local filter is shown in Figure 16. The main difference relative to the centralized Kalman filter is the repeated performance of the data step to update the local state by newly received data. It needs to be repeated as some of the data are computed by other agents and may differ from one s-iteration to another. This step is repeated until the network-wide equilibrium is reached. The initialization performed upon start-up and/or upon a structural change (network topology) involves collecting information about models of other subsystems and network map (at this point we do not consider the restricted network radius for sharing data and model knowledge). The necessary data structures depending on the topology and other agent’s internal data are built here as well us pointers into the neighbours data structures saying which portion of data are to be imported. Details about this function are omitted here. The outer filtering loop indexed by time-step k starts by re-initialization: exchanging predicted interconnection outputs and their covariance to build the extended state. Then, the execution passes to the inner loop, indexed by time index s in which data update is performed. This involves multiple interactions with the neighbours; ▇▇▇▇▇▇ gains and state- to-output covariance matrices are passed across the network from one neighbour to another. An important point is that the algorithm processes data upon their receiving and does not have to wait idling before it receives the next batch. The prediction step is non-iterative; it is similar to the prediction step of standard KFs. k := 0 s := 0 s := s + 1 no Finished? yes Prediction k := k + 1

An Overview. In the system, both cloud server and edge devices have an ability to analyze data generated by IoT device. During the use of an IoT device, edge devices will analyze the data generated by IoT devices and give corresponding instructions. When the data processing is beyond the processing capacity of the edge device or the data is too sensitive to be processed in the edge device, the cloud server has to process the data. Therefore, it is necessary to negotiate a common session key between the IoT device, the edge device, and the cloud server for subsequent data transfers. If the transmitted information is sensitive and the edge device does not have the right to view the message, the IoT device and the cloud server should negotiate a session key. In order to ensure the security of data transmission among IoT device, edge devices and cloud server. We have proposed an efficient three-party authentication and key agreement protocol. The protocol is mainly divided into the following parts: user registration, edge device registration,

  • Project Overview With ever growing size of cities, ensuring high levels of physical security without significantly increasing the number of security personnel or budget seems to be a daunting task. A heightened sense of security and ever increasing challenges require new tactics with more access to integrated system and centralized information. This necessitates the need of designing and implementing Command and Control centers for critical infrastructure across different cities. A command and control center (CCC) in City Surveillance and Incident Response Project refers to a secure building in a government that operates as the surveillance monitoring center, coordination office and alarm monitoring center all in one. The CCC includes Video Surveillance room, Dial 100 Control room, Forensic Investigation Room, ITMS room and Data center & FMS/NOC Room. The CCC is the “nerve center” - a central administrative location from where overall assets and activities are monitored and managed. The command and control centers would be operated by State Police department. City Surveillance system would involve installation of high definition fixed and PTZ IP cameras, capable of providing optical zoom, to obtain quality video stream day in and day out for the Command & Control Center. A diversified IP based network infrastructure backbone would be deployed involving high speed fibre optics/ wireless technologies to carry video from cameras to the command and control center. The CCC would be equipped with huge video walls, workstations, video management servers and video data storage clusters of several hundred terabytes. The Command and Control Center would integrate with various security systems and sensors and enable the operators to carry out the coordinated response plans effectively. The Command & Control solution would allow the Video Surveillance Room operator/ Dial 100 operator to monitor the cameras, collect inputs, dissect information and make actionable recommendations. The system would provide configurable rules Collaborative Change Management monitoring-Feeds from various public and Capacity Building places where systems which include are already installed training of police like malls, personnel on various community centers, software's like airport and railway VMS,CCC,Dial station etc. 100,Forensic etc. Edge Equipments Network Connectivity (Cameras, Sensors, (Optical Fibre, Radio Panic Button, ITMS Communication, PRI etc.) Line, Switch etc.) with tailored alerts, dashboard visualizations, intelligent role based work flow, response tools and situation collaboration.
