[Jonathan Voris]

Call for Tutorial Proposals

The annual IEEE Intelligence and Security Informatics (ISI) conference is the largest of its kind in the field of security informatics, annually brings together the international community of security researchers and practitioners, from academia, industry, and government. Initially begun in 2003 with funding from the National Science Foundation, ISI is now under the auspices of the IEEE and showcases security work and research in computing, engineering, and information science, public policy, law enforcement and intelligence, and the social and behavioral sciences. This year's conference theme is Cybersecurity and Big Data. ISI will feature cutting edge research papers, stellar speakers and panelists, a dynamic poster and networking session, and other participatory events designed to encourage networking and future partnership.

ISI typically includes tutorials given by esteemed experts in their fields. For ISI 2018, we invite tutorials on all conference interest areas. Tutorials may consist of lectures, interactive workshops, hands-on training, or hybrids of these. We welcome interdisciplinary tutorial presentations as well as those which encourage novel modes of audience participation.
