Submission file formats are PDF and Microsoft Word/LaTeX. ISI-2006 papers are being planned to be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. REQUIRED LNCS Microsoft Word/LaTeX templates can be found on the Springer website. Long (12 pages) and short (6 pages) papers (in English) may be submitted electronically via the conference Web site after January 5, 2006. Please DO NOT ALTER the LNCS templates.
Authors who wish to only present a poster may submit a 2-page extended abstract following the LNCS templates. Abstract submissions will be reviewed and will appear in the Proceedings if accepted.
In addition to a formal paper presentation, authors of accepted papers are strongly encouraged to discuss their findings in a "Meet the Author" poster/demo session. Authors of selected papers may be asked to submit extended versions of their work to the following journals that are planning to publish special issues/sections on Intelligence & Security Informatics: IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering, IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics (Part A), and Information Systems and e-Business Management.
