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), Auckland (2016),

and Jeju (2017).  This year PAISI 2018 will once again be held in 

conjunction with PAKDD (http://prada-research.net/pakdd18) 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.
