Terrorism Informatics

This book surveys the state-of-the-art of terrorism informatics. It emphasizes the cutting-edge concepts, technologies, and practices that are being developed in terrorism informatics to meet today's worldwide challenges.

This book surveys the state-of-the-art of terrorism informatics, It covers the application of advanced methodologies and information fusion and analysis. It also lays out techniques to acquire, integrate, process, analyze, and manage the diversity of terrorism-related information for international and homeland security-related applications. It first tackles methodological issues that impact trends, achievements, root causes, and failures in terrorism research within the context of the methods of retrieving and developing, sharing, and implementing methodologies and resources. The book next details three major areas of terrorism research: prevention, detection, and established governmental responses to terrorism. It systematically examines the current and ongoing research, including recent case studies and application of terrorism informatics techniques. The coverage then goes into the critical and relevant social/technical areas to terrorism research including social, privacy, data confidentiality, and legal challenges.

Emphasizes the cutting-edge concepts, technologies, and practices that are being developed in terrorism informatics to meet today's worldwide challenges Each of the 24 chapters in the book has been developed by leading expert on the chapter topic. Each chapter comprehensively reviews of the past and recent research work in the chapter area and many chapters include detailed case studies Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
