IEEE International Conference on Intelligence and Security Informatics
(ISI 2011)

July 10-12, 2011, Beijing, China
http://www.ieeeisi.org/

Theme: Cyber-Physical-Social System Security

Host: The Chinese Academy of Sciences and University of Arizona

Intelligence and Security Informatics (ISI) 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 national/international security missions of
anticipation, interdiction, prevention, preparedness and response to
terrorist acts. The annual IEEE International ISI Conference series
(http://www.isiconference.org) was started in 2003, and the first
eight meetings were held in Tucson, AZ (twice); Atlanta, GA; San
Diego, CA; New Brunswick, NJ; Taipei, Taiwan; Dallas, TX; and
Vancouver, Canada. Proceedings of these ISI meetings and workshops
have been published by IEEE Press and in the Springer Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS) series.

ISI 2011 will be organized in four main streams focusing on
* Information Sharing and Data/Text Mining,
* Infrastructure Protection and Emergency Response,
* Terrorism Informatics, and
* Enterprise Risk Management and Information Systems Security
