Workshop Details

Context and relevance:

 

Combating terrorism has occupied centre-stage across governments, security
agencies, policy makers, academia, industry and society at large for obvious
and understandable reasons. In the academic and industry circles, past
decade has witnessed significant interest in security-related research in a
wide range of applications spanning across national and international
security, economic and societal security, and including personal and
community security. Academic disciplines especially centered on Information
Technologies   such as information and computer sciences, information
systems, human-computer studies, technology adoption, and policy studies
have made rapid progress in developing and evaluating customized frameworks,
methodologies, techniques, and systems to meet specific information
processing and knowledge management challenges of "security" and
"Intelligence".  An emerging field of cross-disciplinary study, called the
Intelligence and Security Informatics (ISI), encompassing these efforts
through an integrated technological, organizational, and policy-based
approach has evolved. This multidiscipline is shaped by research and
applications in fields from data/text/web mining to knowledge management to
cognitive science to social psychology. The emergent field also has spawned
professional societies and conferences, to build a professional community - 

 

This emergent field has good prospects for and demands best of the young
minds to expand and strengthen the domain and help contribute to the end
goal of Secure and Smart society. The Workshop would help achieve this goal.


 

The Summer School on ISI 2010 will provide a learning platform for students
and professionals, who focus on ISI research. We believe that this summer
school will enrich the understanding of the emerging domain of ISI. 

 

The Workshop will have three Tutorials:
