Timely and useful
This book is extremely timely. It discusses a great deal about data mining and in some detail the applications in counter-terrorism. As stated in the preface, it is written at a high level for managers and will be a useful reference. It does not however go into the details of how data mining tools could be applied for national security applications. Perhaps the field it too new. It discusses the concerns that civil liberties unions have on privacy and shows how privacy may be maintained while carrying out data mining. On the whole it is a very good book.

Very timely and interesting
I liked this book the best among all the books written by this Dr. Thuraisingham. It is extremely timely. The author considers web mining to include data mining and stresses that web mining could be carried out on the Internet, Intranets and corporate nets both private and public. There is a good overview of the threats and she shows how web mining may be applied to handle the threats. This is a very new field for many and therefore provides very enlightening reading. However one can expect the field to advance very rapidly which means another edition will be soon needed.

Informative book
Author has a very easy to read writing style and I enjoyed reading this book. However the author has a tendency to repeat certain points and over emphasize certain other aspects. A very good overview of data mining and counter-terrorism. Would have liked to have seen more details on applying data mining for counter-terrorism. This part of the book while clear could have had more details. Similar Products
