ARGOS Workshop in Madrid

ARGOS project was presented to the Spanish Critical Infrastructure Operators last 12 June during a workshop in everis premises in Madrid. The objective of this workshop was to describe the different parts that will encompass the ARGOS solution (such as vibration sensors, wake-up cameras, data-fusion and data-mining modules…) and gather the necessities and concerns of the CI Operators regarding CI protection.

ARGOS Workshop in Athens

Τhe Center for Security Studies (KEMEA) in cooperation with EVERIS, the ARGOS project Coordinator, organized successfully on 20/3/2014 the first ARGOS  Workshop in Athens in order to identify and elaborate the needs and requirements of the security professionals and the operators of Critical Infrastructures (CIs) as regards the physical security of confined (installations) and extended (networks) infrastructures.

ARGOS Main Objectives

ARGOS will allow end-users the possibility to deploy the solution beyond the actual perimeter of the CI, extending the “security zone” beyond the critical perimeter and defining an early warning area that will provide the Critical Infrastructures with the capabilities to enhance their capacity of monitor, deter and respond to a potential threat. The inputs of this non-intrusive multimodal network of sensors will all be simultaneously evaluated and cross-checked in order to minimize false alarms, using data mining to account for correlations and interdependencies. Also the system will implement a “guided learning” methodology letting the operator teach the engine that an alarm is true or false, so it will “learn” this information and improve progressively its performance and the rate of false alarms.

Welcome to ARGOS Blog!

Dear Visitor,

Welcome to ARGOS Project Blog.

ARGOS is a multimodal early warning security solution for Critical Infrastructures focused on privacy respect, low consumption technologies and detection algorithms based in data fusion and data mining smart engines.

Is a well suited solution for remote semi-urban or non-urban environments where energy is not always available since is using energy efficient algorithm for data processing, low energy communications, self-powered networks of sensors, sleeping mode for video sensors and energy-efficient microelectronics. These same characteristics also make ARGOS a suited solution for facilities that stretch over hundreds of kilometres where no security personnel are available.
