The annual IEEE International Conference series on ISI </div><div>was started in 2003. In 2006, the Workshop on ISI was started in </div><div>Singapore in conjunction with PAKDD, with most contributors and </div><div>participants from the Pacific Asian region. Since then, PAISI was held </div><div>annually in Chengdu (2007), Taipei (2008), Bangkok (2009), Hyderabad </div><div>(2010), and Beijing (2011). This year, PAISI 2012 will once again be </div><div>held in conjunction with PAKDD and will provide a stimulating forum </div><div>for ISI researchers in Pacific Asia and other regions of the world to </div><div>exchange ideas and report research progress. </div><div><br></div><div>Paper Submission/Areas of Interest</div><div>==================================</div><div>Submissions may include systems, methodology, testbed, modeling, </div><div>evaluation, and policy papers.
