The ISI 2009 call for papers is out with deadlines of 20 January 2009 for papers and 20 February for tutorials or workshops proposals.

Intelligence and Security Informatics (ISI) has been established as an interdisciplinary subject that focuses on the development and use of advanced information technologies, including methodologies, models and algorithms, infrastructure, systems, and tools, for local, national/international, and global security related applications through an integrated technological, organizational, behavioral, and policy based approach.

This year’s conference will be held in Richardson, Texas (in the Dallas Area), 8-11 June 2009. The annual IEEE ISI series was started in 2003, and the first five meetings were held in Tucson (twice), Atlanta, San Diego, New Brunswick, respectively, in the United States. The sixth (2008) meeting was held in Taipei with significant international participation. Several regional ISI conferences/workshops have also been held in Pacific Asia and Europe in recent years. These ISI conferences and workshops have brought together academic researchers, law enforcement and intelligence experts, information technology consultants and practitioners to discuss research and practice related to various ISI topics. The themes of the 2009 IEEE ISI conference will cover context-aware data analysis, effective counterterrorism, and public education on cybercrime detection.
