CALL FOR PAPERS

INTRODUCTION

Intelligenceand Security Informatics (ISI) research is an interdisciplinary research fieldinvolving academic researchers in information technologies, computer science,public policy, bioinformatics, medical informatics, and social and behaviorstudies as well as local, state, and federal law enforcement and intelligenceexperts, and information technology industry consultants and practitioners tosupport counterterrorism and homeland security’s missions of anticipation,interdiction, prevention, preparedness and response to terrorist acts. The annual IEEE International Conference onISI (IEEE ISI) is the leading conference in security informatics domain.
