Workshop on Intelligence and Security Informatics for International Security (IIS'16)
Threats to our societies, governments and commercial infrastructures are very real due to the growth of terrorism, criminal networks and cyber-attacks. These threats are high precedence in government strategy planning. The science of Intelligence and Security Informatics (ISI) focuses on the development of advanced information technologies, systems, algorithms, and databases for international, national and homeland security related applications, through an integrated technological, organizational, and policy-based approach.
With the continuous advance of IT technologies and the increasing sophistication of national and international security, in recent years, new directions in ISI research and applications have emerged to address complicated problems with advanced technologies. The goal of International Workshop on Intelligence and Security Informatics for International Security (IIS) is to gather people from previously disparate communities to provide a stimulating forum for exchange of ideas and results. The past editions were co-located with the International Conference on Security in Computer Networks and Distributed Systems (SNDS).
We invite academic researchers, law enforcement and intelligence experts, as well as information technology companies, industry consultants and practitioners in the fields involved to submit original and unpublished work. Authors should submit their papers online. Further instructions for submission are posted at http://acn-conference.org/sscc2016/submission.html
All papers that conform to submission guidelines will be peer reviewed and evaluated based on originality, technical and/or research content/depth, correctness, relevance to conference, contributions, and readability. Acceptance of papers will be communicated to authors by email. All accepted papers will be published in the Conference proceedings.
