See (Author Instructions) for submitting your formatted conference papers. Submissions for paper presentation in all research areas relating to intelligence and security informatics are welcome and may include system, methodology, evaluation, testbed, intelligence policy, and position papers. Research should demonstrate relevance to both informatics and to the national/international and homeland security subject areas, and be relevant to the academic and public policy communities. Topics include but are not limited to:

I. Information Sharing and Data Mining:

  • Intelligence-related knowledge discovery
  • Criminal data mining and network analysis
  • Web-based intelligence monitoring and analysis
  • Criminal and intelligence information sharing and visualization
  • Spatio-temporal data analysis and GIS for crime analysis and security informatics
  • Deception and intent detection
  • Cybercrime detection and analysis
  • Authorship analysis and identification
  • Applications of digital library technologies in intelligence data processing, preservation, sharing, and analysis
  • Agents and collaborative systems for intelligence sharing
  • HCI and user interfaces of relevance to intelligence and security
  • Information sharing policy and governance
  • Privacy, security, and civil liberties issues

II. Infrastructure Protection and Emergency Responses

  • Cyberinfrastructure design and protection
  • Intrusion detection
  • Bio-terrorism tracking, alerting, and analysis
  • Bio-terrorism information infrastructure
  • Border and transportation safety
  • Transportation and communication infrastructure protection
  • Emergency response and management
  • Disaster prevention, detection, and management
  • Communication and decision support for search and rescue
  • Assisting citizens’ responses to terrorism and catastrophic events

III. Terrorism Informatics

  • Terrorism related analytical methodologies and software tools
  • Terrorism knowledge portals and databases
  • Terrorist incident chronology databases
  • Terrorism root cause analysis
  • Social network analysis (radicalization, recruitment, conducting operations), visualization, and simulation
  • Forecasting terrorism
  • Countering terrorism
  • Measuring the impact of terrorism on society
  • Measuring the effectiveness of counter-terrorism campaigns

Both full papers and short papers will be accepted, and may be submitted via our electronic submission system beginning January 6, 2005. Papers must be written in English with a limit of 6,000 words for full papers and 3,000 words for short papers. ISI-2005 Proceedings will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Required LNCS Microsoft Word/LaTeX templates can be found here. Electronic submission through the conference Web site will be used and accepted file formats are PDF or Microsoft Word. Authors who wish to present only a poster and/or a demo may submit an abstract (limited to 500 words). The abstracts of accepted posters or demos will also appear in the Proceedings.

 


In addition to a formal paper presentation, authors of accepted papers are strongly encouraged to discuss their findings in a separate “meet the author” poster/demo session. Authors of selected papers may be invited to submit an extended version of their work to one of the following journals that will publish special issues on Intelligence & Security Informatics: IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics; IEEE Intelligent Systems; and IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems.
