Sažetak
Terrorism has become an integral part of everyday life in recent years and has dramati&not ; ; cally affected the quality of life for individuals in society. Technology is the key to terrorism and protecting ordinary citizens, first responders and soldiers, others, from danger. The area of intelligent or smart textiles is a rather new but emerging discipline with a high potential for payoff in the fight against terror&not ; ; This Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) was organized to fill the critical need to bring together the leading experts in the field to make an in-depth assessment of existing &not ; ; knowledge in the area of intelligent (smart) textiles for personal protection and safty, and to identify directions for future research. An important outcome or "deliver&not ; ; able” of the Workshop has been the "Research Roadmap" for the future in keeping with 'NATO's goals for the ARW program. This first-of-its-kind ARW in this field also provided a forum for young scientists and engineers to interact closely with the invited and participate in developing the Research Roadmap that is expected to advance &not ; ; this emerging discipline through collaborative research between NATO and countries. This book contains the papers presented by the Invited Speakers at the ARW. Each in the book provides an in-depth assessment of one particular facet of this emerging discipline. The chapters build on each other further reflecting the integrated and disciplinary theme underlying the ARW.
