An ACP-Based Approach to Intelligence and Security Informatics

Abstract

The field of Intelligence and security informatics (ISI) is resulted from the integration and development of advanced information technologies, systems, algorithms, and databases for international, national, and homeland security-related applications, through an integrated technological, organizational, and policy-based approach. Traditionally, ISI research and applications have focused on information sharing and data mining, social network analysis, infrastructure protection, and emergency responses for security informatics. Recent years, with the continuous advance of related technologies and the increasing sophistication of national and international security, new directions in ISI research and applications have emerged that address the research challenges with advanced technologies, especially the advancements in social computing. This is the focus of discussion in the current chapter.
