The Penn-led study examined radiation treatment and hormone therapy in the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Medicare database.

This application along with the surveillance camera auto-summarization is now being developed for the retail market by Panoptus Inc. a startup founded by the inventors of Livelight.

The ability to detect unusual behaviors amidst long stretches of tedious video could also be a boon to security firms that monitor and review surveillance camera video.

Since the end of WORLD WAR II, mass communications have been subject to surveillance by a network of friendly, English-speaking intelligence agencies.

Targeted tracking can involve a whole different level of surveillance, involving malware and hacking into desktop and#mobile devices.

mass surveillance results in a searchable map of millions of people s links, who they know,

Anyone up to three degrees of separation from a##person of interest##potentially hundreds of thousands of people per target is open to surveillance.

S. companies will prove the beneficiaries of the surveillance scandal particularly those that aresavvy enough to push their privacy-friendliness.

Can we continue to see commercial surveillance as separate from state surveillance? Can we create popular internet business models that don t make the user a well-described product?

Quantum key distribution uses the ability of quantum physics to provide evidence of surveillance. Rather than making it impossible to intercept the key,

The decision is the culmination of a case that Austrian lawyer Max Schrems brought against Facebook in 2013 for participation in US mass surveillance.

Surveillance concerns Although the court decision is ostensibly about data protection, it inevitably addresses surveillance.

Paul Bernal of the University of East Anglia in Norwich, UK, says the judgement makes it hard to see how it is legal for any personal data gathered in the EU to now be sent to the US for processing. he ruling basically says US surveillance cannot be allowed to override our fundamental rights,

but US law says surveillance must override fundamental rights, says Bernal. he EU court is largely saying that indiscriminate gathering of data is enough to interfere with fundamental rights,

In a statement on the ruling, Max Schrems said that S companies that obviously aided US mass surveillance may face serious legal consequences from this ruling

#The Senate Advances NSA Surveillance Reform Legislation As Deadline Approaches The Senate voted 77-to-17 to take up the USA Freedom Act,

It was one of the first programs reported by The Guardian after former government contractor Edward Snowden leaked secret documents about American surveillance processes.

the surveillance reform bill did receive the support of many tech companies. President Barack Obama has committed also to signing the bill into law.

Passage of the bill would mark the first time lawmakers have reined in the surveillance powers of the intelligence community in the two years since Snowden first revealed the controversial intelligence gathering programs.

The Freedom Act does not go far enough in curtailing American surveillance practices. It only addresses the bulk collection of American phone records

The bill does not address the surveillance of non-Americans or the communications of U s. citizens with people outside the country under FISA Section 702 or Executive Order 12333.

But today vote remains a victory for the advocates that have been fighting for two years to limit the scope of the NSA surveillance.
