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. Since then, PAISI was held 
annually in Chengdu (2007), Taipei (2008), Bangkok (2009), Hyderabad 
(2010), and Beijing (2011). This year, PAISI 2012 will once again be 
held in conjunction with PAKDD 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.
