International Conference on Intelligence and Security Informatics (ISI 2006)

情报和安全信息学（ISI）的科学侧重于开发和使用先进的信息技术，包括方法，模型和算法，基础设施，系统和工具，通过综合技术，组织和基于政策的方法，用于国家/国际和国土安全相关的应用。三军情报局还包括恐怖主义研究、生物监视和情报分析以及与安全有关的公共政策等领域。三军情报局会议的目的是为不同的、往往是分离的团体提供一个讨论的智力论坛：信息技术、计算机科学、公共政策和社会科学的学术研究人员;地方、州和联邦执法和情报专家;流行病学家和其他公共卫生团体成员;和信息技术行业的顾问和从业人员。这笔赠款将支持2006年国际会议的情报和安全信息学（ISI-2006）2006年5月23日至24日，以便汇集著名的信息学，计算机科学和政策研究人员以及公共卫生，执法和安全界的成员进行对话，并探讨潜在的合作途径。ISI-2006将与第七届全国数字政府研究年会在同一地点举行，并将由美国情报机构和国防部共同赞助。国土安全部的这应该进一步扩大参与这一新兴科学学科的可能性。会议前后可能会举行其他活动和会议，以促进规划和社区对话。会议将征集与情报和安全研究相关的高质量研究论文，这些论文将由研究人员和从业人员进行同行评审，以便提交和出版。预期积极的情报和安全信息学研究将改善知识发现和传播，并加强执法界之间的信息共享和协作。

The science of Intelligence and Security Informatics (ISI) focuses on the development and use of advanced information technologies, including methodologies, models and algorithms, infrastructure, systems, and tools for national/international and homeland security related applications through an integrated technological, organizational, and policy-based approach. ISI also encompasses the areas of terrorism research, biosurveillance, and intelligence analysis as well as security-related public policy. The ISI conferences have been instituted to provide an intellectual forum for discussion among disparate and often separated communities: academic researchers in information technologies, computer science, public policy, and the social sciences; local, state, and federal law enforcement and intelligence experts; epidemiologists and other public health community members; and information technology industry consultants and practitioners.This grant will support the 2006 International Conference on Intelligence and Security Informatics (ISI-2006) May 23-24, 2006, in order to bring together noted informatics, computer science, and policy researchers as well as members of the public health, law enforcement and security communities to engage in dialogue and explore potential avenues of collaboration. ISI-2006 will be co-located with the 7th Annual National Conference on Digital Government Research and will be cosponsored by the US intelligence agencies and Dept. of Homeland Security. This should further broaden the possibilities for participation in this still-emerging scientific discipline. Additional events and meetings may be held both before and after the conference to facilitate planning and community dialogue. The meeting will solicit high-quality research papers of relevance to intelligence and security research, which will be peer reviewed by both researchers and practitioners for presentation as well as publication. The expectation is that active intelligence and security informatics research will improve knowledge discovery and dissemination, and enhance information sharing and collaboration across law enforcement communities.
