    abstract = {Many surveillance and sensing applications involve the detection
of dynamic processes. Examples include battlefield situation awareness (where
the processes are vehicles and troop movements), computer and network
security (where the processes are worms and other types of attacks), and
homeland security (where the processes are terrorist financing, planning,
recruiting, and attack-execution activities). A Process Query System (PQS) is
a novel and powerful software front-end to a database or real-time sensing
infrastructure that allows users to define processes at a high level of
abstraction and submit process definitions as queries. We describe a current
working implementation that has been used for vehicle tracking using an
acoustic sensor network and for computer worm detection.}
