Abstract

An intelligence and security information system must meet the challenge of processing vast volume of information that come from diverse sources with distinctive incentives and credibility and providing actionable intelligence based on the processed information. We focus on solving the problem of analyzing the incentives and credibility of information sources and propose an information economics perspective to investigate the incentives of the information providers in the intelligence and security domain.
