商品簡介
Biltgen and Ryan offer a future-oriented book on a new activity-based approach to intelligence, made possible by the proliferation of data in the new digital age and made attractive by the elusiveness of modern intelligence targets such as underground terrorists. The book is directed at an audience of entry-level intelligence professionals, researchers, and intelligence engineers. The first few chapters cover the history and evolution of ABI and introduce the “four pillars” of geo-reference to discover, data neutrality, sequence neutrality, and integration-before-exploitation. The book then delves into how ABI approaches information differently, defining some of the basic activities that can by analyzed and exploring how workflow and data collection are altered in this paradigm, including the mindset shift from targeted to incidental collection. Several chapters discuss the modern technologies used for collection of data and especially for information analysis, including AI assists and other forms of computational modeling and pattern recognition. The last third of the book explores examples of ABI applications in a variety of contexts. Annotation c2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
