IRIS is a multi-disciplinary research
center engaged in the creation, design, and integration of
technologies, such as sensor design and fusion, audio and
video processing, databases, pervasive computing, networking,
wearable computing, biometrics, and micro devices. The objective
is to enhance the capabilities of law enforcement personnel
to combat crime, predict and thwart danger, provide support
for law enforcement, augment infrastructure protection, analyze
psychological behavior of terrorists and to ensure the safety
of law enforcement personnel. IRIS is pioneering a new branch
of science and engineering called Security Engineering. ,
a multi-disciplinary approach that includes several branches
of engineering and transcends the traditional boundaries of
computer science to include disciplines, such as psychology
and criminology.

- Undertake dedicated research for creating, engineering,
and integrating new technologies that will help detect, prevent
and mitigate terrorist activities, and combat crime
- Partner with first responders, industry,
DoD, and DHS to identify their technological needs and seek
their co-operation and feedback.
- Establish a consortium of universities, industry, and state
and federal government agencies for seeking accelerated means
of technology transfer and dissemination of research results
- Establish a teaching base for training
undergraduate and graduate students in related research areas.
