Call for Papers (Extended Deadline)

IEEE International Conference on Intelligence and Security Informatics 
(ISI 2010)
May 23--26, 2010, The Fairmont Waterfront Hotel, Vancouver, B.C., Canada
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
