Terrorism is one of the serious threats to international peace and
security that we face in this decade. No nation can consider itself
immune from the dangers it poses, and no society can remain
disengaged from the efforts to combat it. The termcounterterrorism
refers to the techniques, strategies, and tactics used in the ?ght
against terrorism. Counterterrorism efforts involve many segments
of so- ety, especially governmental agencies including the police,
military, and intelligence agencies (both domestic and
international). The goal of counterterrorism efforts is to not only
detect and prevent potential future acts but also to assist in the
response to events that have already occurred. A terrorist cell
usually forms very quietly and then grows in a pattern - sp- ning
international borders, oceans, and hemispheres. Surprising to many,
an eff- tive "weapon," just as quiet - mathematics - can serve as a
powerful tool to combat terrorism, providing the ability to connect
the dots and reveal the organizational pattern of something so
sinister. The events of 9/11 instantly changed perceptions of the
wordsterrorist andn- work, especially in the United States. The
international community was confronted with the need to tackle a
threat which was not con?ned to a discreet physical - cation. This
is a particular challenge to the standard instruments for
projecting the legal authority of states and their power to uphold
public safety. As demonstrated by the events of the 9/11 attack, we
know that terrorist attacks can happen anywhere.

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the First European
Conference on Intelligence and Security Informatics, EuroISI 2008,
held in Esbjerg Denmark, December 3-5, 2008. Intelligence and
security informatics (ISI) is a multidisciplinary ?eld enc- passing
methodologies, models, algorithms, and advanced tools for
intelligence analysis, homeland security, terrorism research as
well as security-related public policies. EuroISI 2008 was the ?rst
European edition of the series of ISI sym- siums that have been
held annually in the USA since 2003, and more recently in Asia.
These meetings gather together people from previously disparate c-
munities to provide a stimulating forum for the exchange of ideas
and results. Participantshave included academic
researchers(especially in the ?elds of inf- mation technologies,
computer science, public policy, and social and behavioral
studies), law enforcement and intelligence experts, as well as
information te- nology companies, industry consultants and
practitioners in the relevant ?elds. These proceedings contain 25
originalpapers, out of 48 submissions received, related to the
topics of intelligence and security informatics. The papers cover a
broad range of ?elds such as: social network analysis, knowledge
discovery, web-based intelligence and analysis, privacy protection,
access control, digital rights management, malware and intrusion
detection, surveillance, crisis m- agement,
andcomputationalintelligence, amongothers.Additionallytothemain

This volume contains the ?nal proceedings of the MetaInformatics
Symposium 2003 (MIS 2003). The event was held September 17 20 on
the campus of the Graz University of Technology in Graz, Austria.
As with previous events in the MIS series, MIS 2003 brought
together - searchers and practitioners from a wide variety of ?elds
to discuss a broad range of topics and ideas related to the ?eld of
computer science. The contributions that were accepted to and
presented at the symposium are of a wide variety.
Theyrangefromtheoreticalconsiderationsofimportantmetainformatics-related
questions and issues to practical descriptions of approaches and
systems that - fer assistance in their resolution. I hope you will
?nd the papers contained in this volume as interesting as the other
members of the program committee and Ihave. These proceedings would
not have been possible without the help and ass- tance of many
people. In particular I would like to acknowledge the assistance of
Springer-Verlag in Heidelberg, Germany, especially Anna Kramer, the
computer science editor, and Alfred Hofmann, the executive editor
for the LNCS series."
Driven by counter-terrorism efforts, marketing analysis and an
explosion in online social networking in recent years, data mining
has moved to the forefront of information science. This proposed
Special Issue on Data Mining for Social Network Data will present a
broad range of recent studies in social networking analysis. It
will focus on emerging trends and needs in discovery and analysis
of communities, solitary and social activities, activities in open
for a and commercial sites as well. It will also look at network
modeling, infrastructure construction, dynamic growth and evolution
pattern discovery using machine learning approaches and multi-agent
based simulations. Editors are three rising stars in world of data
mining, knowledge discovery, social network analysis, and
information infrastructures, and are anchored by Springer
author/editor Hsinchun Chen (Terrorism Informatics; Medical
Informatics; Digital Government), who is one of the most prominent
intelligence analysis and data mining experts in the world.
