AREAS OF INTEREST
-----------------

Intelligence  and Security  Informatics  (ISI) is  concerned with  the
study of the development  and use of advanced information technologies
and   systems,  computer   science,  and   algorithms   for  national,
international, and societal  security-related applications, through an
integrated technological,  organizational, and policy  based approach.
The annual IEEE International Conference  series on ISI was started in
2003 and the first five meetings were held in Tucson (2), Atlanta, San
Diego,  and New  Brunswick in  the  United States.   In addition,  two
Pacific Asia Workshops were held  in Singapore and Cheng-Du, China, in
2006 and 2007, respectively.  These ISI conferences and workshops have
brought   together   academic   researchers,   law   enforcement   and
intelligence   experts,   information   technology   consultants   and
practitioners  to  discuss  their  research and  practice  related  to
various  ISI topics.  Besides  the well  established and  emerging ISI
research topics of  ISI conferences and workshops, we  also extend ISI
to cover related  growing areas, such as computer  forensics and crime
intelligence. The conference will  provide a stimulating forum for ISI
researchers all over  the world to exchange ideas  and report research
progress.  Proceedings  of these past  ISI and workshop  meetings have
been published in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).
