CALL FOR PAPERS

The 15th IEEE International Conference on Intelligence and Security Informatics (ISI), July 22-24, 2017, Beijing, China

(www.isi-conf.org)

(The submission deadline for IEEE ISI2017 has been extended to April 25th)

INTRODUCTION

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.

CONFERENCE THEME & TOPICS

The conference theme is Security and Big Data. In addition to the main academic conference, multiple satellite events centered around the security and big data 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 2017 will be organized in four main tracks focusing on:

o   Security Analytics and Threat Intelligence

o   Data Science and Analytics in Security Informatics

o   Human Behavior and Factors in the Security Applications

o   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.
