About the conference
The Emerging Security Technologies (EST) Conference is a leading Euro-Asia technology forum
dedicated to the presentation and discussion of new ideas and concepts in emerging
technologies that span applications from personal biometrics to national security. Previous EST
Conferences were organized in Canterbury, UK, in 2010 and Preston, UK, in 2011, and Lisbon,
Portugal, in 2012, while precursor meetings, the International Symposium on Defense and
Security, ISDS-2006, was held in Iasi, Romania, and the Bio-inspired Learning and Intelligent
Systems for Security Symposia, BLISS 2007-2009, were held in Edinburgh, UK.
Topics
The conference invites security-oriented contributions in information technologies, robotics,
cognitive systems, biotechnologies, and nanotechnologies. Concepts, hardware and software
implementations are equally welcomed. Previous editions included papers in biometrics and
forensics, personal mobile/wireless security, robotic and unmanned vehicles' system security,
perimeter, border, and homeland security, Internet and cyber-security (i.e., detection and
prevention of cyber-crimes and identity theft), security of critical infrastructure systems (e.g.,
financial, public utilities, transportation, etc.), emergency response systems (e.g., combining
space-based systems with geographical information systems), and hybrid security systems.
