Intelligence and
Security Informatics (ISI) is concerned with the study of the
development and use of advanced information technologies and systems
for national, international, and societal security-related
applications. The annual IEEE International Conference series on ISI
was started in 2003 and the first four meetings were held in the United
States. In 2006, the Workshop on ISI (
http://isi.se.cuhk.edu.hk/2006/
)
was held in Singapore in conjunction with the Pacific Asia Conference
on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining, with most contributors and
participants from the Pacific Asian region. These past ISI conferences
have brought together academic researchers, law enforcement and
intelligence experts, information technology consultant and
practitioners to discuss their research and practice related to various
ISI topics including ISI data management, data and text mining for ISI
applications, terrorism informatics, deception and intent detection,
terrorist and criminal social network analysis, public health and
bio-security, crime analysis, cyber-infrastructure protection,
transportation infrastructure security, policy studies and evaluation,
information assurance, among others. We continue this stream of ISI
conferences by organizing the 2007 Pacific Asian Workshop on ISI (PAISI
2007) to especially provide a stimulating forum for ISI researchers in
Pacific Asia and other regions of the world to exchange ideas and
report research progress. The workshop also welcomes contributions
dealing with ISI challenges specific to the Pacific Asian region.
News: We are pleased to announce that we have confirmed with Springer on the publication of PAISI 2007 proceedings
in their Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.
