Introduction

Intelligence and Security Informatics (ISI) is an interdisciplinary field of research that focuses on the development, use, and evaluation of advanced information technologies, including methodologies, models and algorithms, systems, and tools, for local, national, and international security related applications. Over the past decade, the ISI research community has matured and delivered an impressive array of research results that are both technically innovative and practically relevant. The 2018 European ISI Conference is the nineth ISI conference to be organized by the European ISI community. The conference was first held in 2008, and has been organized annually since 2011.

The European Intelligence and Security Informatics Conference - EISIC - is Europe's premier conference on intelligence and security informatics. EISIC 2018 will celebrate the 8th anniversary of this premier conference series.

EISIC is a multi-disciplinary conference where science and technology researchers and developers from areas such as engineering, computer science, psychology, human factors, criminology, crime science, law, privacy and ethics, join with law enforcement, security and defence analysts and investigators to advance our capabilities for fighting crime and ensuring the safety and security of our citizens.

EISIC 2018 will showcase the latest technologies to tackle such crimes as human trafficking, terrorism, online radicalisation, child sexual exploitation, money laundering, and the use of forged documents. Further, we will discuss why such crimes are becoming more difficult to address, and how criminal elements are using such technologies such the dark net and blockchain to perpetrate their crimes and cover their tracks. Such technologies present a significant challenges to law enforcement as crimes and their consequences span both the virtual and physical worlds. EISIC 2018 will report on and share potential solutions to these problems.
