Workshop Scope
==============
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. In 2006, the Workshop 
on ISI was started in Singapore in conjunction with PAKDD, with most 
contributors and participants from the Pacific Asian region. The 2nd 
PAISI was then held in Chengdu in 2007, the 3rd PAISI was held in 
conjunction with IEEE ISI in Taipei in 2008, and the 4th PAISI was 
held in conjunction with PAKDD in Bangkok in 2009. This year, PAISI 
2010 will once again be held with PAKDD 2010 and will 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.
