 Call for Papers
----------------------------
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, 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
was started in 2003.

We invite academic researchers in the field of Intelligence and
Security Informatics and related areas (such as computer science,
public policy, and social and behavioral studies) as well as
companies, industry consultants, analysts and practitioners in the
fields involved. EISIC 2013 will be held in Uppsala, Sweden.

Research should be relevant to applications of counter-terrorism or
protection of local/national/international/global security in the
physical world and/or cyberspace.
