Volume 6, Issue 1 Editorial
MARCH 2007
Welcome to the first issue in the sixth year of JIW. As in previous issues, there are a variety of issues examined. The first paper by Hutchinson, Huhtinen and Rantapelkonen explores the idea that the perspective taken of a particular problem or conflict fundamentally effects the tactics and strategies used in it, and so the consequent outputs. Gray and Martin explain the consequences of actions in terms of an interesting concept ‘backfires’ and their relationships to types of propaganda.
The next two papers are more technology oriented. Karakasiliotis, Furnell, and Papadaki examine the contemporary problem of phishing and how we can distinguish between genuine and deceptive messages. Voipio and Addams-Moring examine methods of filtering out unsolicited messages.
The final paper by Pye and Warren explores the use of systems’ methods and their use in critical infrastructure modelling.
I hope you enjoy and are enlightened by the contents of this issue.
