Download or read book Information Reuse and Integration in Academia and Industry written by Tansel Özyer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-08 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present work covers the latest developments and discoveries related to information reuse and integration in academia and industrial settings. The need for dealing with the large volumes of data being produced and stored in the last decades and the numerous systems developed to deal with these is increasingly necessary. Not all these developments could have been achieved without the investing large amounts of resources. Over time, new data sources evolve and data integration continues to be an essential and vital requirement. Furthermore, systems and products need to be revised to adapt new technologies and needs. Instead of building these from scratch, researchers in the academia and industry have realized the benefits of reusing existing components that have been well tested. While this trend avoids reinventing the wheel, it comes at the cost of finding the optimum set of existing components to be utilized and how they should be integrated together and with the new non-existing components which are to be developed. These nontrivial tasks have led to challenging research problems in the academia and industry. These issues are addressed in this book, which is intended to be a unique resource for researchers, developers and practitioners.

Download or read book Pakistan s Inter Services Intelligence Directorate written by Owen L. Sirrs and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first comprehensive study of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate (ISI). The rise of Pakistan-backed religious extremist groups in Afghanistan, India, and Central Asia has focused international attention on Pakistan’s premier intelligence organization and covert action advocate, the Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate or ISI. While ISI is regarded as one of the most powerful government agencies in Pakistan today, surprisingly little has been written about it from an academic perspective. This book addresses critical gaps in our understanding of this agency, including its domestic security mission, covert backing of the Afghan Taliban, and its links to al-Qa’ida. Using primary source materials, including declassified intelligence and diplomatic reporting, press reports and memoirs, this book explores how ISI was transformed from a small, negligible counter intelligence outfit of the late-1940s into the national security behemoth of today with extensive responsibilities in domestic security, political interference and covert action. This study concludes that reforming or even eliminating ISI will be fundamental if Pakistan is to successfully transition from an army-run, national security state to a stable, democratic society that enjoys peaceful relations with its neighbours. This book will be of interest to students of intelligence studies, South Asian politics, foreign policy and international security in general.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grounded in solid research, Social Media in the Public Sector explores the myriad uses of social media in the public sector and combines existing practices with theories of public administration, networked governance, and information management. Comprehensive in scope, the book includes best practices, the strategic, managerial, administrative, and procedural aspects of using social media, and explains the theoretical dimensions of how social behavior affects the adoption of social media technologies. Praise for Social Media in the Public Sector "Mergel has produced a foundational work that combines the best kind of scholarship with shoe-leather reporting and anthropology that highlights the debates that government agencies are struggling to resolve and the fruits of their efforts as they embrace the social media revolution. Social Media in the Public Sector is a first and sets a high standard against which subsequent analysis will be measured." Lee Rainie, director, Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project "Mergel is an award-winning author who again wields her story skills in this book. She excels in explaining in concrete, practical terms how government managers can use social media to serve the public. Her book puts years of research into one handy guide. It's practical. It's readable. And it's an essential read." John M. Kamensky, senior fellow, IBM Center for The Business of Government "Mergel moves beyond the hype with detailed, comprehensive research on social media technologies, use, management, and policies in government. This book should be required reading for researchers and public managers alike." Jane Fountain, professor and director, National Center for Digital Government, University of Massachusetts Amherst "Comprehensive and compelling, Social Media in the Public Sector makes the case that to achieve Government 2.0, agencies must first adopt Web 2.0 social technologies. Mergel explains both how and why in this contemporary study of traditional institutions adopting and adapting to new technologies." Beth Simone Noveck, United States Deputy Chief Technology Officer (2009-2011)

Download or read book Pakistan s ISI written by Julian Richards and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2024 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book introduces students, scholars, and others with an interest in Pakistan to the history of the Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate (ISI). Forged in the tumultuous aftermath of Partition in 1947, the ISI has grown to become the preeminent intelligence service in Pakistan, and one of the most feared and respected agencies in the region. Its capabilities are comprehensive, covering external and internal intelligence. It utilizes very broad human intelligence networks and employs the techniques of covert action and support to militants, particularly in its rivalry with India. As a crucial intelligence partner for the West during the Cold War and into the contemporary era, the ISI is both essential ally, and problematic partner. The agency has been a key tool for successive military regimes in Pakistan, exploiting violent extremism for strategic gain, and remains a repressive and authoritarian power at the center of the state. These challenges will pose increasingly difficult questions for Pakistan and for its political and intelligence partners alike in the coming years"--

This book was released on 2011-10-31 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though network security has almost always been about encryption and decryption, the field of network security is moving towards securing the network environment rather than just stored or transferred data. Privacy, Intrusion Detection and Response: Technologies for Protecting Networks explores the latest practices and research works in the area of privacy, intrusion detection, and response. Increased interest on intrusion detection together with prevention and response proves that protecting data either in the storage or during transfer is necessary, but not sufficient, for the security of a network. This book discusses the latest trends and developments in network security and privacy, and serves as a vital reference for researchers, academics, and practitioners working in the field of privacy, intrusion detection, and response.

Download or read book Intelligence and International Security written by Len Scott and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The events of 9/11 and subsequent acts of jihadist terrorism, together with the failures of intelligence agencies over Iraq’s Weapons of Mass Destruction, have arguably heralded a new age of intelligence. For some this takes the form of a crisis of legitimacy. For others the threat of cataclysmic terrorism involving chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear attack gives added poignancy to the academic contention that intelligence failure is inevitable. Many of the challenges facing intelligence appear to be both new and deeply worrying. In response, intelligence has clearly taken on new forms and new agendas. How these various developments are viewed depends upon the historical, normative and political frameworks in which they are analysed. This book addresses fundamental questions arising in this new age. The central aim of the collection is to identify key issues and questions and subject them to interrogation from different methodological perspectives using internationally acclaimed experts in the field. A key focus in the collection is on British and North American perspectives. Recent trends and debates about the organisation and conduct of intelligence provide key themes for exploration. Underpinning several contributions is the recognition that intelligence faces a conflict of ideas as much as practices and threats. This book was published as a special issue of Intelligence and National Security.
