How Can the “Always-On” Internet Enhance Capabilities for Homeland Security?

• Three Tier System– Wireless SensorNets Brings Data to Repositories

– Collaborative Crisis Management Data Centers

– Remote Wireless Devices Interrogate Databases• Will Bring About a New Meaning to “Dual-Use”

– Civilian– Scientific and Engineering Research– Commercial Business

– Military– External Defense – Homeland Security

• Cal-(IT)2 is Working Closely with Campus Efforts
