Mining Social Networks and Security Informatics, 2013 Lecture Notes in Social Networks Series

Crime, terrorism and security are in the forefront of current societal concerns. This edited volume presents research based on social network techniques showing how data from crime and terror networks can be analyzed and how information can be extracted. The topics covered include crime data mining and visualization; organized crime detection; crime network visualization; computational criminology; aspects of terror network analyses and threat prediction including cyberterrorism and the related area of dark web; privacy issues in social networks; security informatics; graph algorithms for social networks; general aspects of social networks such as pattern and anomaly detection; community discovery; link analysis and spatio-temporal network mining. These topics will be of interest to researchers and practitioners in the general area of security informatics.  The volume will also serve as a general reference for readers that would want to become familiar with current research in the fastgrowing field of cybersecurity.
