On September 11, 2001 the World became completely cognizant of the security challenges it faces on an international scale. With this awareness a commitment has come from the scientific, engineering, and health communities to help meet the world meet an array of security challenges. From these activities the science of "Intelligence and Security Informatics," is emerging, which will influence a new generation of policy makers, practitioners, researchers, and students. INTELLIGENCE AND SECURITY INFORMATICS FOR INTERNATIONAL SECURITY: Information Sharing and Data Mining...

Medical Informatics and biomedical computing have grown in quantum measure over the past decade. An abundance of advances have come to the foreground in this field with the vast amounts of biomedical and genomic data, the Internet, and the wide application of computer use in all aspects of medical, biological, and health care research and practice. MEDICAL INFORMATICS: Knowledge Management and Data Mining in Biomedicine covers the basic foundations of the area while extending the foundational material to include the recent leading-edge research in the field. The newer...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Asian Digital Libraries, ICADL 2004, held in Shanghai, China in December 2004.

The 44 revised full papers, 15 revised short papers, and 37 posters presented together with 14 invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 359 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on collaboration and localization, knowledge processing and knowledge discovery, information retrieval techniques, personalization issues in digital libraries, and service and management.

While all the international infectious disease surveillance systems share similar objectives, each system site varies in its system architecture, its information processing management techniques, its algorithms for detection, and each focus on different diseases. INFECTIOUS DISEASE INFORMATICS: Syndromic Surveillance for Public Health and Bio-Defense corrects these problems. The book will analyze and evaluate the outbreak modeling and detection capabilities of the existing surveillance systems from a systematic framework. Specifically, the book will meet the following critical...

Data mining is the process of extracting hidden patterns from data, and it's commonly used in business, bioinformatics, counter-terrorism, and, increasingly, in professional sports. First popularized in Michael Lewis' best-selling Moneyball: The Art of Winning An Unfair Game, it is has become an intrinsic part of all professional sports the world over, from baseball to cricket to soccer. While an industry has developed based on statistical analysis services for any given sport, or even for betting behavior analysis on these sports, no research-level book has considered the subject...
