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

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
