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.

Industry Reviews

From the reviews:

"The title of this book might imply, at first sight, a US-centric approach to the topic, but in fact, the contributions are not only from the US, but also from Canada ... India, and Israel. ... A particularly good feature of this book is the back matter included at the end of each chapter: suggested readings, online resources, and discussion questions ... . This edited volume should appeal to the growing terrorism informatics research community, graduate students, and readers in the wider community ... ." (John Fulcher, ACM Computing Reviews, May, 2009)
