Borders are increasingly complex human responses and social constructions in a world where globalizing forces confront basic human concerns for security and certainty. In an effort to provide a background to assess research directions for imaging borders, this paper explores what we know about borders, and what we do not know well about borders. Borders in globalization are the meeting points of globalizing forces of security, trade and migration flows with emerging technologies, self determination and regionalization around the world. We need to know more about how: self determination fuels secessions and new borders; borders result from complex rather than simple policy and governance issues; borders depend on the political clout of borderland communities; market and migration flows impact borders; and borders are always in motion. The paper shows how these organizing principles underlie the basic themes of border governance, flows, culture, history, security and sustainability. Finally, the paper offers two brief illustrations of border imaging to link this presentation to the following discussion of the workshop.

Advances in infrared sensors, as well as integrated controls and displays have led to mature designs being incorporated in civil as well as military surveillance and security systems. Technical challenges arise in applying electro-optical sensor technology to detect, track and identify individuals and to detect contraband and hidden objects; while at the same time providing positive cost/benefit metrics for both point protection and area surveillance applications. The previous paper, "EO/IR Sensors Enhance Border Security" addressed the advantages and disadvantages of specific electro-optical sensor modalities, including visible, near-, mid- and far-infrared as well as ultraviolet that may be used individually and in combination to perform specific security applications. System designs employing electro-optical and infrared sensors for surveillance applications were reviewed as well as the cost/benefit metrics used to define trades for both point protection and area surveillance applications. This paper will address the use of these infrared modalities with advanced image and sensor processing developed by Opgal specifically for border security applications.

In response to the tragic events of September 11 2001 and the growing concern for the security of ships and ports, the International Maritime Organization set up new security regulations implemented in the International Ship and Port facility Security code as an amendment to the Safety of Life at Sea convention on minimum security arrangements for ships and port facilities. It has been transposed to the Community legal framework by the Regulation 725/2004, successively, extended into the whole port area by the Directive 2005/65/CE. Ports constitute crucial intermodal nodes in the freight and passenger transport network as well as important border control points. Their security is therefore of paramount importance not only because of their critical transport functions but also because of their specific role, as control points, in the regional, national and European security. Indeed, port security is a cornerstone for the implementation of the new international maritime transport security regime in what regards the protection of port users and public as well as the protection of the maritime vessels. The aim of the present paper is to analyse the problem, highlight the issues faced in a systematic way and provide a systemic framework towards a better port security without penalising excessively the trade or the port related activities. To this end: (1) A basic taxonomy concerning ports, port facilities and security is established (2) The main requirements from the EU and international regulations are highlighted. (3) The port facility security, basic functional block for the port security, is analysed and its main parameters are derived. (4) The current situation of EU port facilities is highlighted and some conclusions on the short term priorities and the way ahead are drawn.
