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.展开更多

Such changes have offered the rationale foradjustments in the security strategies of all nations in the region. And these adjust-ments have, in their turn, brought about further changes in the regional securityenvironment.Proceeding from an analysis of the security strategies of major Asia-Pacific nations and Asean, this paper addresses the security trends in Asia Pacificsince beginning of the second half of the 1990s.展开更多
