Homeland Security has been the focus of recent publications from the National Research Council (NRC) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). These reports advocate Operations Research as an important tool for addressing many problems in this arena; however, many of these problem areas have received very little serious study. Day 1 will begin with a review of relevant problem areas from the reports; we will then break out into groups to frame, formulate and suggest a plan towards addressing these problems. Day 2 will feature oral briefings from each group on their findings.
