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), Beijing (2011), Kuala Lumpur 
(2012), Beijing (2013), Tainan (2014), and Ho Chi Minh City (2015). 
This year PAISI 2016 will once again be held in conjunction with 
PAKDD (http://pakdd2016.pakdd.org) 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.
