Kind regards, FOSINT-SI 2012 Program Chairs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS (Full Papers, Position Papers and Abstracts) International Symposium on Foundation of Open Source Intelligence and Security Informatics (FOSINT-SI 2012, see http://bilgem.tubitak.gov.tr/FOSINT-SI2012/) In conjunction with ASONAM 2012 (see http://asonam2012.etu.edu.tr) Istanbul, Turkey on August 27-28, 2012 For paper submission: https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/FOSINTSI2012/ Terrorist and criminals are threatening the society more than ever before. There groups are benefiting from the advance technology. They communicate easier and form global communities that are hard to track. Fortunately the social media, event logs, phone call logs, web logs, etc, constitute a rich source for knowledge discovery. There is a serious need for powerful techniques and tools capable of achieving the ultimate goal of early warning to help in defeating the source of threat.Motivating by this need which has high social impact, the research related to open source intelligence and security informatics is gaining popularity in the academia, industry and government institutes. The three communities are working closely to develop new techniques and technologies. Thus, the aim of the FOSINT-SI symposium is to provide a unique international forum for researchers, professionals,and industrial practitioners to socialize, seek collaboration, share and exchange their data, knowledge, and expertise. Topics: FOSINT-SI 2012 invites research submissions on all topics related to the foundations of open source intelligence and security informatics, including but not limited to those listed below: *Command and Control *Consumer and corporate related scurity politics and behavioral analysis *Criminology and Terrorism *Cyber-crime detection and analysis *Dark Web *E-commerce and security *FOSINT Case Studies *Fraud Detection *Geographical and temporal analysis of crime patterns and security informatics *Infrastructural bioterrorism analysis *Investigative Data Mining *Media Content Mining *Multi-agent systems for intelligence in security *Multilingual data integration and analysis *Multinational and Global Networks *News Analysis and Visualization *News Monitoring *Online Personalization and Recommendation System *Online and offiline Integration of Intelligence Data *Privacy and Legal Issues *Security Intelligence Case Studies *Social Media Analysis *Social Network Analysis for Suspect identification *Structural and Contextual Web Analysis *Surveillance of public/corporate sentiment *Visualization of intelligence systems for information sharing *Web Dynamics *Web Content Mining *Web Harvesting *Web Usage Mining *Web Structure Mining Submission Guidelines: We welcome all submissions reporting original and unpublished research papers written in English and pertaining to the above topics.
