IEEE International Conference on Intelligence and Security Informatics
(ISI 2010)

The Fairmont Waterfront Hotel, Vancouver, B.C., Canada

WEB: http://conferences.irmacs.sfu.ca/isi2010/
THEME: Public Safety and Security
HOST: The IRMACS Centre, Simon Fraser University, British Columbia, Canada

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
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 seven meetings were held in Tucson, AZ (twice); Atlanta,
GA; San Diego, CA; New Brunswick, NJ; Taipei, Taiwan; and Dallas,
TX. 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 2010 will be organized in four main streams focusing on
- Information Sharing and Data/Text Mining,
- Infrastructure Protection and Emergency Responses,
- Terrorism Informatics, and
- Computational Criminology.

For detailed information on Topics, see the ISI 2010 website at
http://conferences.irmacs.sfu.ca/isi2010/. Instructions and template
information can soon be found on the Submissions page.

WORKSHOPS: In conjunction with ISI 2010, the National Center for
Border Security and Immigration (BORDERS) at the University of Arizona
will hold its Second Annual Workshop on "Challenges and Solutions at
the Northern Border - 2010" on May 26. MITACS (Mathematics of
Information Technology and Complex Systems) will hold a workshop on
"Modeling Complex Adaptive Dynamic Social Systems" on May 23.

HOTEL AND LOCATION: Vancouver is a scenic destination, a dynamic and
multicultural city set in a spectacular natural environment where the
Coast Mountain range meets the Pacific Ocean. Majestic mountains,
sparkling ocean and a cosmopolitan flair make it a perfect meeting and
convention destination with exceptional cuisine, first-class hotels
