Intelligence and Security Informatics - Pacific Asia Workshop, PAISI 2009, Bangkok, Thailand, April 27, 2009. Proceedings

Intelligence and Security Informatics (ISI) is concerned with the study of the dev- opment and use of advanced information technologies and systems for national, int- national, and societal security-related applications. The annual IEEE International Conference series on ISI was started in 2003 and the first four meetings were held in the United States. In 2006, the Workshop on ISI was held in Singapore in conjunction with the Pacific Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining, with over 100 contributors and participants from all over the world. PAISI 2007 was then held in Chengdu, China and PAISI 2008 was held in Taiwan. These ISI conferences have brought together academic researchers, law enforcement and intel- gence experts, information technology consultants 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 and intent detection, terrorist and criminal social network analysis, public health and bio-security, crime analysis, cyber-infrastructure protection, transportation infrastructure security, policy studies and evaluation, and information assurance, among others. We continued the stream of ISI conferences by organizing the 2009 Pacific Asia Workshop on ISI (PAISI 2009) in conjunction with the Pacific Asia Conference on Knowledge Disc- ery and Data Mining (PAKDD 2009).

His group has developed advanced medical digital library and data and text mining techniques for gene pathway and disease informatics analysis and visualization since 1995. Dr. Chen s nanotechnology patent analysis works, funded by NSF, have been published in the Journal of Nanoparticle Research. His research findings were used in the President s Council of Advisors in Science and Technology s report on "The National Nanotechnology Initiative at Five Years: Assessment and Recommendations of the National Nanotechnology Advisory Panel." Dr. Chen s work also has been recognized by major US corporations and been awarded numerous industry awards for his contribution to IT education and research, including: ATT Foundation Award in Science and Engineering and SAP Award in Research/Applications. Dr. Chen has been heavily involved in fostering digital library, medical informatics, knowledge management, and intelligence informatics research and education in the US and internationally. He has been a PI for more than 20 NSF and NIH research grants since 1990. Dr. Chen is conference chair of ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL) 2004 and has served as the conference general chair or international program committee chair for the past six International Conferences of Asian Digital Libraries (ICADL), 1998-2005. He has been instrumental in fostering the ICADL activities in Asia. Dr. Chen is the founder and also conference co-chair of the IEEE International Conference on Intelligence and Security Informatics (ISI), 2003-2006. The ISI conference has become the premiere meeting for international, national, and homeland security IT research. Dr. Chen is an IEEE fellow.

Summary

Intelligence and Security Informatics (ISI) is concerned with the study of the dev- opment and use of advanced information technologies and systems for national, int- national, and societal security-related applications. The annual IEEE International Conference series on ISI was started in 2003 and the first four meetings were held in the United States. In 2006, the Workshop on ISI (http://isi. se. cuhk. edu. hk/2006/) was held in Singapore in conjunction with the Pacific Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining, with over 100 contributors and participants from all over the world. PAISI 2007 (http://isi. se. cuhk. edu. hk/2007/) was then held in Chengdu, China and PAISI 2008 (http://isi. se. cuhk. edu. hk/2008/) was held in Taiwan. These ISI conferences have brought together academic researchers, law enforcement and intel- gence experts, information technology consultants 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 and intent detection, terrorist and criminal social network analysis, public health and bio-security, crime analysis, cyber-infrastructure protection, transportation infrastructure security, policy studies and evaluation, and information assurance, among others. We continued the stream of ISI conferences by organizing the 2009 Pacific Asia Workshop on ISI (PAISI 2009) in conjunction with the Pacific Asia Conference on Knowledge Disc- ery and Data Mining (PAKDD 2009).
