Emerging Trends in ICT Security

Informationen zum Autor Babak Akhgar is Professor of Informatics and Director of CENTRIC (Center of Excellence in Terrorism, Resilience, Intelligence and Organized Crime Research) at Sheffield Hallam University (UK) and Fellow of the British Computer Society. He has more than 100 refereed publications in international journals and conferences on information systems with specific focus on knowledge management (KM). He is member of editorial boards of several international journals and has acted as Chair and Program Committee Member for numerous international conferences. He has extensive and hands-on experience in the development, management and execution of KM projects and large international security initiatives (e.g., the application of social media in crisis management, intelligence-based combating of terrorism and organized crime, gun crime, cyber-crime and cyber terrorism and cross cultural ideology polarization). In addition to this he is the technical lead of two EU Security projects: Courage? on Cyber-Crime and Cyber-Terrorism and Athena? onthe Application of Social Media and Mobile Devices in Crisis Management. He has co-edited several books on Intelligence Management.. His recent books are titled Strategic Intelligence Management (National Security Imperatives and Information and Communications Technologies)?, Knowledge Driven Frameworks for Combating Terrorism and Organised Crime? and Emerging Trends in ICT Security?. Prof Akhgar is member of the academic advisory board of SAS UK. Hamid R. Arabnia is currently a Full Professor of Computer Science at University of Georgia where he has been since October 1987. His research interests include Parallel and distributed processing techniques and algorithms, interconnection networks, and applications in Computational Science and Computational Intelligence (in particular, in image processing, medical imaging, bioinformatics, and other computational intensive problems). Dr. Arabnia is Editor-in-Chief of The Journal of is Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Information Technology in Biomedicine .

Zusammenfassung

"Contemporary threats to national security and neighborhood safety are increasingly non-physical. Those who seek to destroy citizen freedoms and liberties are harnessing the power of Information Communications Technologies which now require innovative solutions. This insightful volume fills an operational gap in understanding Information Communications Technologies and is a welcome introduction to tackling the security challenges which lie ahead." --John D Parkinson OBE, Chair of Steering Group, Centre of Excellence in Terrorism, Resilience, Intelligence & Organised Crime Research (CENTRIC)
