Intelligence and security informatics

Meer over het boek

Intelligence and security informatics (ISI) encompasses the study of advanced information technologies and systems for security applications, employing a comprehensive approach that integrates technology, organization, and policy. Recent years have seen remarkable growth in ISI research, capturing the attention of academic researchers and practitioners from government and industry. The inaugural ISI symposiums in Tucson, Arizona, in 2003 and 2004 served as a dynamic platform for dialogue among diverse communities, including researchers in information technology, public policy, and social studies, as well as law enforcement and intelligence experts. Building on this momentum, the IEEE International Conference on Intelligence and Security Informatics (ISI 2005) was held in May 2005 in Atlanta, Georgia. This conference not only revisited established ISI research topics but also introduced a new track on Terrorism Informatics, which focuses on innovative terrorism research utilizing advanced social science methodologies and information technologies. ISI 2005 was collaboratively hosted by Rutgers, the University of Arizona, and the Georgia Institute of Technology, further solidifying the interdisciplinary nature of ISI research and its relevance to contemporary security challenges.
