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: Tutorial 1: Intelligence and Security Informatics and Dark Network Analysis by Prof. Hsinchun Chen and IEEE Fellow , Eller School of MIS, University of Arizona, USA Topic covered include - * Intelligence and Security Informatics(ISI): Framework and Case Studies * Developing the science of ISI * Intelligence and Security Informatics (ISI): Challenges and Opportunities * Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD) research framework and techniques * Critical mission areas * Information Sharing and Data/Text Mining o Intelligence-related knowledge discovery o Criminal data mining and network analysis o Web-based intelligence monitoring and analysis o Deception and intent detection o Cyber-crime detection and analysis o Authorship analysis and identification o Agents and collaborative systems for intelligence sharing o HCI and user interfaces of relevance to intelligence and security * Dark Network Analysis * Connections * Web site spidering * Forum spidering * Video spidering * Analysis and Visualization: * Link and content analysis * Web metrics analysis * Authorship analysis * Sentiment analysis o Video coding and analysis Tutorial 2: Competitive Intelligence and Business Strategies by Dr. R.
