Opening Plenary
Working Group 1: Nonproliferation and Nuclear Security
The format for this INMM/ESARDA workshop gives us an opportunity to explore three different aspects of nuclear nonproliferation. The emergent importance of social media will be examined for its implications for nonprofieration. The emergent importance of social media will be examined for its implications for nonproliferation. The important tool of strategic trade controls will be discussed, and we will look to the future to see the architecture for nuclear security after the 2016 nuclear summit.

Session C: Sustainable Nuclear Security after the 2016 Summit
Working Group 2: Arms Control
In today's complex national security arena, it is envisioned that a systematic approach could help to identify key area in a national nuclear weapons enterprise where increased transparency or effective verification would provide the greatest confidence for future arms control commitments. The essential balancing act is to allow for sufficient transparency with adequate protection of sensitive information. The group will consider how systems analysis can help drive the development of the methodologies and novel technologies that could be accepted by treaty partners given national security constraints.

Working Group 3: International Safeguards
For over 30 years international safeguards has been continually developing and strengthening approaches and methodologies. The integration of current and emerging technologies can expand on applicable methods for both the verification of declared and the detection of undeclared nuclear activities. However, further discussion is required on the development of metrics for the evaluation of methods applied for the detection of undeclared nuclear activities. Additionally, consideration needs to be paid to building public confidence in these methods and their detection capabilities. This can only be achieved through openness and transparency.
