1. Briefing on IST panel Information Systems Technology by Maj Erik Van de Schoor 16 Feb 2011

2. IST panel : four main activity domains 1. INFORMATION WARFARE and ASSURANCE (IWA) – INFOSEC - COMPUSEC - COMSEC - TRANSEC 2. ARCHITECTURE and Enabling TECHNOLOGIES (AET) –decision support architectures, data mining, information fusion,visualization, knowledge- based systems, artificial intelligence

3. IST panel : four activity domains 3. COMMUNICATIONS and NETWORKS (COM) – voice data and video over disadvantaged links, network management, network security, mobile communications, satellite communications, optical fibers. 4. INFORMATION and KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT (IKM) –software engineering technologies, computing technologies, modeling and simulation technologies, speech and natural language processing

5. Meetings Spring 2010 : Antalya (TUR): 26-27 Apr canceled Istanbul (short version) 7-8 Jul SY on Information Assurance & Cyber Defence 28-30 Apr : PBM Fall 2010 Wroclaw (POL) 28-29 Sep WY on Mil Comms & Networks combined with MCIS-week 27 Sep & 30 Sep-01 Oct PBM Spring 2011 Madrid 9-13 May Fall 2011 : Oslo (Nor) 7-11 Nov

6. PoW 2011 –Approved via silence procedure –145 activities (31 New, 114 on-going) 2012 –Finalised at fall 2010 PBM

7. PoW 2011 IST 078 : Machine translation Tim Anderson : follow-on 2012 IST 077 :cognitive radio end Dec 2010 prepare for follow-on 2012 IST 089 Mil Unmanned systems potential follow-on 2012 IST 095 :POF/MOF: 1 st review

8. HPs and LTCR Command interoperability Critical infrastructure (information) protection LTCR on Language translation

9. Conclusions Participation of BE delegates in the IST activities increased (RTG on Cognitive Radio and ET on POF) More visibility towards (BEL) universities maybe needed
