This book focuses on novel and state-of-the-art scientific work in the area of detection and prediction techniques using information found generally in graphs and particularly in social networks. Community detection techniques are presented in diverse contexts and for different applications while prediction methods for structured and unstructured data are applied to a variety of fields such as financial systems, security forums, and social networks. The rest of the book focuses on graph-based techniques for data analysis such as graph clustering and edge sampling.  The research presented in this volume was selected based on solid reviews from the IEEE/ACM International Conference on Advances in Social Networks, Analysis, and Mining (ASONAM '17). Chapters were then improved and extended substantially, and the final versions were rigorously reviewed and revised to meet the series standards. This book will appeal to practitioners, researchers and students in the field.

This book explores the evolution of social network analysis and mining (SNAM), a field that originated in social and business communities but has expanded significantly in recent years. The rise of online social platforms, email logs, phone records, and instant messaging systems has driven the development of advanced techniques for analyzing social networks, drawing heavily on graph theory and machine learning.As the Web increasingly becomes a social medium, it fosters human interaction, the sharing of experiences and knowledge, and the formation and evolution of communities. This transformation has amplified the importance of SNAM in fields such as academia, politics, homeland security, and business, where understanding the complex relationships between networked actors is crucial.This book presents a comprehensive collection of cutting-edge research and developments in SNAM, offering a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding of social networks and their applications.

This book addresses surveillance in action-related applications, and presents novel research on military, civil and cyber surveillance from an international team of experts. The first part of the book, Surveillance of Human Features, reviews surveillance systems that use biometric technologies. It discusses various novel approaches to areas including gait recognition, face-based physiology-assisted recognition, face recognition in the visible and infrared bands, and cross-spectral iris recognition.The second part of the book, Surveillance for Security and Defense, discusses the ethical issues raised by the use of surveillance systems in the name of combatting terrorism and ensuring security. It presents different generations of satellite surveillance systems and discusses the requirements for real-time satellite surveillance in military contexts. In addition, it explores the new standards of surveillance using unmanned air vehicles and drones, proposes surveillance techniquesfor detecting stealth aircrafts and drones, and highlights key techniques for maritime border surveillance, bio-warfare and bio-terrorism detection.The last part of the book, Cyber Surveillance, provides a review of data hiding techniques that are used to hinder electronic surveillance. It subsequently presents methods for collecting and analyzing information from social media sites and discusses techniques for detecting internal and external threats posed by various individuals (such as spammers, cyber-criminals, suspicious users or extremists in general). The book concludes by examining how high-performance computing environments can be exploited by malicious users, and what surveillance methods need to be put in place to protect these valuable infrastructures. The book is primarily intended for military and law enforcement personnel who use surveillance-related technologies, as well as researchers, Master’s and Ph.D. students who are interested in learning about the latest advances in military, civilian and cyber surveillance.

Thisbook introduces readers to novel, efficient and user-friendly software toolsfor power systems studies, to issues related to distributed and dispersed powergeneration, and to the correlation between renewable power generation andelectricity demand. Discussing new methodologies for addressing grid stabilityand control problems, it also examines issues concerning the safety andprotection of transmission and distribution networks, energy storage and powerquality, and the application of embedded systems to these networks. Lastly, thebook sheds light on the implications of these new methodologies anddevelopments for the economics of the power industry. As such, it offersreaders a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art research on modernelectricity transmission and distribution networks.
