Review

From the reviews:

“Informatics may be used to analyze open sources in the fight against terrorism. This state-of-the-art overview from an impressive group of international contributors is mandatory reading for criminologists and intelligence professionals. Many of the tools discussed have broad application to social network analysis. ... I recommend this broad overview of state-of-the-art research.” (Brad Reid, ACM Computing Reviews, October, 2011)
