Psychologists, educators, animal behaviorists, and other researchers who observe and study sequences of behavior have found Bakeman and Gottman's Observing Interaction helpful in planning their research and analyses. Now its companion volume, Analyzing Interaction, provides the practical underpinning and tools to carry out the sorts of sequential analyses suggested by the earlier book. First, a simple notational scheme for sequential data is introduced (SDIS or Sequential Data Interchange Standard). Then basic sequential statistics are discussed, elaborating and extending the material presented in Observing Interaction. Two computer programs are also included with the book. The SDIS program checks and prepares sequential data for efficient analysis. The GSEQ program tallies sequential data into contingency tables designed by the user and computes a variety of sequential statistics.

InfoSecurity 2008 Threat Analysis
An all-star cast of authors analyze the top IT security threats for 2008 as selected by the editors and readers of Infosecurity Magazine. This book, compiled from the Syngress Security Library, is an essential reference for any IT professional managing enterprise security. It serves as an early warning system, allowing readers to assess vulnerabilities, design protection schemes and plan for disaster recovery should an attack occur. Topics include Botnets, Cross Site Scripting Attacks, Social Engineering, Physical and Logical Convergence, Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards (DSS), Voice over IP (VoIP), and Asterisk Hacking.
Each threat is fully defined, likely vulnerabilities are identified, and detection and prevention strategies are considered. Wherever possible, real-world examples are used to illustrate the threats and tools for specific solutions.
* Provides IT Security Professionals with a first look at likely new threats to their enterprise
* Includes real-world examples of system intrusions and compromised data
* Provides techniques and strategies to detect, prevent, and recover
* Includes coverage of PCI, VoIP, XSS, Asterisk, Social Engineering, Botnets, and Convergence
