Wavelet analysis and its applications have been one of the fastest-growing research areas in the past several years. Wavelet theory has been employed in numerous fields and applications, such as signal and image processing, communication systems, biomedical imaging, radar, and air acoustics. Active media technology is concerned with the development of autonomous computational or physical entities capable of perceiving, reasoning, adapting, learning, cooperating, and delegating in a dynamic environment. This book captures the essence of the state of the art in wavelet analysis and its applications and active media technology. At the Congress, invited talks were delivered by distinguished researchers, namely Prof John Daugman of Cambridge University, UK; Prof Bruno Torresani of INRIA, France; Prof Victor Wickerhauser of Washington University, USA, Prof Ning Zhong of the Maebashi Institute of Technology, Japan; Prof John Yen of Pennsylvania State University, USA; and Prof Sankar K Pal of the Indian Statistical Institute, India.

Wavelet Analysis and Its Applications, and Active Media Technology

Robert L. Popp

Explores both counter-terrorism and enabling policy dimensionsof emerging information technologies in national security After the September 11th attacks, "connecting the dots" hasbecome the watchword for using information and intelligence toprotect the United States from future terrorist attacks. Advancedand emerging information technologies offer key assets inconfronting a secretive, asymmetric, and networked enemy. Yet, in afree and open society, policies must ensure that these powerfultechnologies are used responsibly, and that privacy and civilliberties remain protected. Emergent Information Technologies and Enabling Policies forCounter-Terrorism provides a unique, integrated treatment ofcutting-edge counter-terrorism technologies and their correspondingpolicy options. Featuring contributions from nationally recognizedauthorities and experts, this book brings together a diverseknowledge base for those charged with protecting our nation fromterrorist attacks while preserving our civil liberties. Topics covered include: Counter-terrorism modeling Quantitative and computational social science Signal processing and information management techniques Semantic Web and knowledge management technologies Information and intelligence sharing technologies Text/data processing and language translation technologies Social network analysis Legal standards for data mining Potential structures for enabling policies Technical system design to support policy Countering terrorism in today's world requires innovativetechnologies and corresponding creative policies; the two cannot bepractically and realistically addressed separately. EmergentInformation Technologies and Enabling Policies forCounter-Terrorism offers a comprehensive examination of both areas,serving as an essential resource for students, practitioners,researchers, developers, and decision-makers.
