Most of the available ICT toolesets are aimed at the deployment of case management systems and ICT equipment infrastructure at different organisational levels (court or district). In this paper we present the JUMAS system, stemmed from the homonymous EU project, that instead takes up the challenge of exploiting semantics and machine learning techniques towards a better usability of the multimedia judicial folders. JUMAS provides not only a streamlined content creation and management support for acquiring and sharing the knowledge embedded into judicial folders but also a semantic enrichment of multimedia data for advanced information retrieval tasks.

The paper describes the results of a one year analysis conducted in the Italian and Polish Courtrooms and how to face them in order to make this knowledge available to judicial operators, focusing on the criminal cases during the trials phase.

The sensor is not a pure data source, but an entity (Semantic Sensor Web) with associated metadata and it is a building block of a "worldwide distributed" real time database, to be processed through real-time queries. Important challenges are to achieve interoperability in connectivity and processing capabilities (queries) and to apply "intelligence" and processing capabilities as close as possible to the source of data. This paper presents the extension of a general architecture for data integration in which we add capabilities for processing of complex queries and discuss how they can be adapted to, and used by, an application in the Semantic Sensor Web, presenting a pilot study in environment and health domains. 1 LENVIS -Localised environmental and health information services for all.

One of the most sensitive aspects every government should consider in the context of such a modernisation is the field of Justice. Although most of the procedures are highly inefficient they are proven to work and there is a very high risk involved in tampering with these or the data they deal with. The most prominent issue is guaranteeing that any information flowing within judicial electronic systems are treated securely. This paper identifies the most common security objectives being set in ICT enabled solutions for judicial environments; as found in several on-going and finished projects co-funded by the European Union (EU). These objectives are discussed within the context of Justice and the state-of-the-art of Information Security is presented as possible solutions. Finally, a number of security initiatives and organizations which try to standardise solutions and approaches to common challenges are discussed.
