Intelligence and Security Informatics (ISI) research is an interdisciplinary
research field involving academic researchers in information technologies,
computer science, public policy, bioinformatics, medical informatics, and
social and behavior studies as well as local, state, and federal law
enforcement and intelligence experts, and information technology industry
consultants and practitioners to support counterterrorism and homeland
security's missions of anticipation, interdiction, prevention, preparedness
and response to terrorist acts.

 

The annual IEEE International Conference on ISI (IEEE ISI) is a leading
conference in security informatics domain, which was started in 2003 in
Tucson, Arizona. Since then, the conference has been hosted in Atlanta, San
Diego, New Brunswick, Taipei, Dallas, Vancouver, Beijing, Seattle,
Washington DC, the Hague, Baltimore and Tucson. Over the past 16 years, the
IEEE ISI Conference has evolved from its traditional orientation of
intelligence and security domain towards a more integrated alignment of
multiple domains, including technology, humans, organization, and security.
The scientific community has increasingly recognized the need to address
intelligence and security threats by understanding the interrelationships
between these different components, and by integrating recent advances from
different domains. This year, the IEEE ISI conference will be held in
Shenzhen, China.

 

CONFERENCE THEME & TOPICS

 

The conference theme is AI-Enabled Analytics. In addition to the main
academic conference, multiple satellite events centered around the
AI-enabled analytics theme will be organized as well.

 

We invite academic researchers in the field of Intelligence and Security
Informatics and related areas as well as law enforcement and intelligence
experts, and industry consultants and practitioners in the field to submit
papers and workshop proposals.

 

ISI 2019 will be organized in four main tracks focusing on:

- Security Analytics and Threat Intelligence

- Data Science and Analytics in Security Informatics

- Human Behavior and Factors in the Security Applications

- Organizational, National, and International Issues in Counter-terrorism
and other Security Applications

 

Submissions may include systems, methodology, test-bed, modeling,
evaluation, and policy papers.  Research should be relevant to informatics,
organization, public policy, or human behavior in applications of
counter-terrorism or protection of local/ national/ international security
in the physical world and/or cyberspace.  See specific topic suggestions
below.
