The application of IKBS techniques to perimeter intrusion detection systems

Work concerned with identifying the areas to which application of IKBS (intelligent knowledge-based system) techniques could best benefit the UK´s Home Branch and its customers is discussed. Perimeter security was identified as one area in which both the use of rule induction techniques and the incorporation of local rules were likely to be of considerable benefit. An extensive collaborative program with industry was initiated. This work has led to the production of a bespoke hardware system, now the subject of extensive operational trials. The prototype operational study is described
