Summary The focus of this research is to discover patterns of activity that lead to the emplacement of IEDs by terrorists in urban environments such as places of worships, shopping malls and downtowns. An example scenario is the emplacement of IEDs in trash cans in shopping malls. Our network will work in a predictive mode by looking for patterns of activity that appear suspicious and raising alerts when a certain level of confidence has been achieved in the prediction.
