Workshop Scope
**************

Intelligence and Security Informatics (ISI) can be broadly defined as the study of the development and use of advanced information
technologies and systems for national and international security-related applications. The First and Second Symposiums on ISI were
held in Tucson, Arizona, in 2003 and 2004, respectively. In 2005, the IEEE International Conference on ISI was held in Atlanta,
Georgia. These ISI
  conferences have brought together academic researchers, law enforcement and intelligence experts, information technology
consultant and practitioners  to discuss their  research and practice related to various ISI topics including ISI data management,
data and text  mining
  for ISI applications, terrorism informatics, deception detection, terrorist and criminal social network analysis, crime analysis,
monitoring and surveillance, policy studies and evaluation, information assurance, among others. We continue this stream of ISI
conferences by organizing the Workshop on Intelligence and Security Informatics
(WISI'06) in conjunction with the Pacific Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data  Mining (PAKDD'06). WISI'06 will provide a
stimulating forum for ISI researchers in Pacific Asia and other regions of the world to exchange ideas and report research progress.
The workshop also welcomes contributions dealing with ISI challenges specific to the Pacific Asian region.

  - Terrorism root cause analysis
  - Social network analysis (radicalization, recruitment, conducting
    operations), visualization, and simulation
  - Forecasting terrorism
  - Countering terrorism
  - Measuring the impact of terrorism on society
  - Measuring the effectiveness of counter-terrorism campaigns


Long (6,000 words) and short (3,000  words) papers (in English) may be submitted electronically via the workshop Website after
