NSF Speakers to Keynote Symposium on Intelligence and Security
Informatics
Like researchers in many scientific fields, the law enforcement,
forensic analysis and intelligence communities face significant
information overload as well as tremendous opportunities for
innovation. The first National Science Foundation (NSF) and
National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Symposium on Intelligence and
Security Informatics, being held June 2-3, 2003, in Tucson,
Arizona, will highlight information technologies and policy
issues for crime analysis, intelligence monitoring, deception
detection, disaster prevention and management, and other topics.
Hosted by the University of Arizona and the Tucson Police
Department, the symposium provides a forum for discussions among
researchers, law enforcement and intelligence experts, and
industry consultants and practitioners. The symposium also
features keynote speakers from NSF, NIJ and the Intelligence
Technology Innovation Center (ITIC) on information technology
research related to homeland security, digital government, and
public safety.
