Rooted in the global horror of September 11, 2001, the book examines the rapid legislative responses aimed at enhancing law enforcement capabilities in the wake of terrorism. It highlights the focus on the digital landscape in these regulatory efforts, emphasizing the urgency that led to the passage of laws like the USA PATRIOT Act with minimal public discourse. The authors argue for the necessity of including public input in shaping policies that significantly impact civil liberties and law enforcement practices in the fight against terrorism.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 38th International Workshop on Graph Theoretic Concepts in Computer Science (WG 2012) held in Jerusalem, Israel on June 26-28, 2012. The 29 revised full papers presented were carefully selected and reviewed from 78 submissions. The papers are solicited describing original results on all aspects of graph-theoretic concepts in Computer Science, e. g. structural graph theory, sequential, parallel, randomized, parameterized, and distributed graph and network algorithms and their complexity, graph grammars and graph rewriting systems, graph-based modeling, graph-drawing and layout, random graphs, diagram methods, and support of these concepts by suitable implementations. The scope of WG includes all applications of graph-theoretic concepts in Computer Science, including data structures, data bases, programming languages, computational geometry, tools for software construction, communications, computing on the web, models of the web and scale-free networks, mobile computing, concurrency, computer architectures, VLSI, artificial intelligence, graphics, CAD, operations research, and pattern recognition
