EISIC 2013 - 2013 European Intelligence and Security Informatics Conference (EISIC 2013)

European Intelligence & Security Informatics Conference (EISIC 2013)
The Premier European Conference on Counterterrorism and Criminology
Uppsala, Sweeden, August 12-14, 2013

---------------------
Call for Papers
---------------------
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, and information technology industry consultants and practitioners to support counterterrorism and homeland security missions of anticipation, interdiction, prevention, preparedness and response to terrorist acts. The annual IEEE International ISI Conference series (http://www.isiconference.org) was started in 2003.
The goal of EISIC 2013 is to gather people from previously disparate communities to provide a stimulating forum for exchange of ideas and results. We invite academic researchers (in information technologies, computer science, public policy, and social and behavioral studies), law enforcement and intelligence experts, as well as information technology companies, industry consultants and practitioners in the fields involved. EISIC 2013 will be held in Uppsala, Sweeden.
Submissions may include systems, methodology, testbed, modeling, evaluation, policy, and position papers. Research should be relevant to informatics, organization, and/or public policy in applications of counter-terrorism or protection of local/ national/ international/ global security in the physical world and/or cyberspace. The accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press (approval pending) in formal Proceedings.
