Based on the authors’ own research work, this book explains how to create and employ systems and tools for intrusion detection, Web page surfing prediction, and image classification. Focusing on three applications of data mining, the book takes a practical approach to the subject. A hands-on guide, it discusses the performance results, limitations, and unique contributions of data mining systems. It provides essential information for technologists to decide on the tools to select for a particular application, for developers to focus on alternative designs if an approach is unsuitable, and for managers to choose whether to proceed with a data mining project.

The semantic web provides a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across applications, enterprises, and community boundaries. The major concern today is securing these semantic webs to ensure that they are dependable. Building Trustworthy Semantic Webs addresses this important topic. Including numerous exercises to make it suitable as both a textbook and as a reference guide, this book presents detailed discussions on securing XML, RDF, and information integration. It also provides coverage of privacy for the semantic web, secure web services, as well as dependability issues such as real-time processing, faulty tolerance, and integrity for the semantic web.
