[Infowarrior] - IEEE Security Informatics Conference

nformatics research has emerged as a key scientific discipline and
applications domain supporting counterterrorism and homeland security¹s
missions of anticipation, interdiction, prevention, preparedness and
response to terrorist acts.  ISI 2007 provides a forum for discussions among
these vital communities: academic researchers (in information technologies,
computer science, public policy, and social studies), local, state, and
federal law enforcement and intelligence experts, and information technology
industry consultants and practitioners.  Security informatics is a rapidly
growing multidisciplinary area that crosscuts numerous disciplines,
including computer science, information technology, engineering, public
policy, medicine (medical informatics), biology (bioinformatics), social and
behavioral sciences, political science, and modeling and analysis.  The
combination of intelligence and security informatics strives to integrate
computational social science, advanced information technologies and
algorithms to support counterterrorism and homeland security policies,
organizations and operations (both domestically and internationally).
Because of the conference¹s location near major New York ­ New Jersey ports,
one of its key themes is port security, where the term ³port² is used here
in its broad sense, namely, as a point of entry/exit for secure flows of
people and cargo.  Other themes cover the components of effective
counterterrorism, dynamic data analysis, and critical-infrastructure
protection technologies.  This conference aims to foster the development and
growth of a counterterrorism and homeland-security community by providing a
forum and podium for diverse communities: academia, government (local,
state, federal law enforcement, intelligence experts, etc.) and industry
(consultants and practitioners etc.).  We solicit contribution of long or
short papers, and proposals for panel discussions on both the science and
the practice of intelligence and security informatics.  The conference
proceedings will be published as an IEEE publication.  Several satellite
conferences will also be held before or after ISI-2007 (see

The upcoming IEEE International Conference on Intelligence and Security
Informatics 2007 (ISI 2007) will be held May 23-24, 2007,  in New Brunswick,
New Jersey, at the Hyatt Hotel.
