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), Ho Chi Minh City (2015), and Auckland
(2016).
This year PAISI 2017 will once again be held in conjunction with PAKDD
(http://pakdd2017.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.
