Synopsis

Computational Analysis of Terrorist Groups: Lashkar-e-Taiba provides an in-depth look at Web intelligence, and how advanced mathematics and modern computing technology can influence the insights we have on terrorist groups. This book primarily focuses on one famous terrorist group known as Lashkar-e-Taiba (or LeT), and how it operates. After 10 years of counter Al Qaeda operations, LeT is considered by many in the counter-terrorism community to be an even greater threat to the US and world peace than Al Qaeda.

Computational Analysis of Terrorist Groups: Lashkar-e-Taiba is the first book that demonstrates how to use modern computational analysis techniques including methods for “big data” analysis. This book presents how to quantify both the environment in which LeT operate, and the actions it took over a 20-year period, and represent it as a relational database table. This table is then mined using sophisticated data mining algorithms in order to gain detailed, mathematical, computational and statistical insights into LeT and its operations. This book also provides a detailed history of Lashkar-e-Taiba based on extensive analysis conducted by using open source information and public statements. Each chapter includes a case study, as well as a slide describing the key results which are available on the authors’ web sites.

Computational Analysis of Terrorist Groups: Lashkar-e-Taiba is designed for a professional market composed of government or military workers, researchers and computer scientists working in the web intelligence field. Advanced-level students in computer science will also find this valuable as a reference book.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Reine Nervensache! Unser Wissen ber die kognitiven Funktionen des Menschen und ihre krankheitsbedingten St rungen wird immer reichhaltiger, denn zahlreiche Fachdisziplinen und Methoden aus den Bereichen (Neuro-)Psychologie, Biologie, Medizin u.a. tragen heutzutage zu seiner Weiterentwicklung bei. Die Kognitive Neurowissenschaft hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, dieses interdisziplin re Wissen dar ber, wie das Gehirn komplexe Leistungen erbringt, zu b ndeln. Dieses Lehrbuch versteht sich als Standardwerk dieser Disziplin und wurde in der 3., komplett berarbeiteten und erg nzten Auflage nun folgerichtig von Neuropsychologie in Kognitive Neurowissenschaften umbenannt. Komplett: Alle Funktionsbereiche alle Disziplinen - Grundwissen und St rungen zu: Wahrnehmung, Aufmerksamkeit, Orientierung, Sprache, Denken, Vorstellung, Ged chtnis, Handeln, Reagieren, Motorik, Emotion, Altern - Jeweils Beitr ge aus der experimentellen Psychologie, Anatomie, Neurophysiologie, Neuropsychologie und Neurologie - NEU in der 3. Auflage: 10 neue Kapitel, u.a. zu au erk rperlichem Erleben, nichtverbaler Kommunikation, Funktionsanpassung bei Blinden und Gehirn-Computer-Schnittstellen Lernfreundlich und pr fungsrelevant - Didaktikelemente erleichtern das Lernen: Merks tze, Zusammenfassungen, Kontrollfragen, Fallbeispiele und Exkurse - Im Web geht s weiter: Lern-Tools f r Studierende und Lehrmaterialien f r Dozenten auf www.lehrbuch-psychologie.de F r Studierende der Psychologie, Biologie, Medizin, Kognitionswissenschaft und anderer neurowissenschaftlicher Studieng nge.
