EISIC 2012 - European Intelligence and Security Informatics Conference (EISIC)

2012 European Intelligence and Security Informatics Conference (EISIC 2012)
The Premier European Conference on Counterterrorism and Criminology
August 22-24, 2012, Odense, Denmark
The goal of EISIC 2012 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 2012 will be held in Odense, Denmark.
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.
EISIC 2012 will be organized in five main streams focusing on:
Information Sharing and Data/Text Mining
Infrastructure Protection and Emergency Responses
Terrorism Informatics
Computational Criminology
Enterprise Risk Management and Information Systems Security
