The task of covert intelligence agents is to detect and interdict terror plots. Kaplan (2010) treats terror plots as customers and intelligence agents as servers in a queuing model. We extend Kaplan’s insight to a dynamic model that analyzes the inter-temporal trade-off between damage caused by terror attacks and prevention costs to address the question of how many agents to optimally assign to...

The main focus of the paper is on visual data mining applications for enhancing business decisions. The software based system is implemented as a fully automated and intel...

Ubiquitous robot systems represent the state-of-the-art in robotic technology. This paradigm seamlessly blendsmobile robot technology (Mobot) with distributed sensor systems (Embot) and overseeing software intelligence (Sobot), for various integrated services. The wide scope for research in each component area notwithstanding, the design of the Sobot is critical since it performs the dual purpo...

This article explores public concerns about the US Department of Homeland Security’s data ‘fusion centers’. These centers, which are proliferating across all US states, coordinate data-sharing among state and local police, intelligence agencies, and private companies. The primary goal of fusion centers is to engage in intelligence-sharing for counter-terrorism purposes. However, they have been ...

An epistemological 5GL shell, eGanges, offers systemic intelligence for big, complex work. It is designed for construction of e-learning aids in the workplaces of the finite domains of law, management and education; there may be other suitable uses as well. Law is concerned with large, complex social organisation, and business is concerned with large, complex commercial organisations; work skil...

Amid the swarm of debate about emotional intelligence (EI) among academics are claims that cognitive intelligence, or general mental ability (g), is a stronger predictor of life and work outcomes as well as the counter claims that EI is their strongest predictor. Nested within the tempest in a teapot are scientific questions as to what the relationship is between g and EI. Using a behavioral ap...

Individual-social adjustment will be proved by person's interaction with the environment skills and its result is that person enjoys of social interaction, positive feelings about themselves and others and leave a positive impact on others. The present study was to ...

Through their misuse of authorized privileges, insiders have caused great damage and loss to corporate internal information assets, especially within the Intelligence Community (IC). Intelligence management has faced increasing complexities of delegation and granular protection as more corporate entities have worked together in a dynamic collaborative environment. We have been confronted by the...

at the beginning of the present century, problems such as education of mentally retarded children, classification and placement of job applicants in industrial and military organizations, and students selection, gave impetus to the development of intelligence tests and the formulation of theories of intelligence. for many years factorial theories of intelligence dominated the field, but piaget&...
