We invite researchers and practitioners to join us for a workshop at the European Intelligence and Security Informatics Conference 2019 (EISIC 2019) conference in Oulu, Finland

While the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) devices enabled by high-speed internet connections, ubiquitous computing, and Big Data infrastructure helps improve everyday life, it also provides a springboard for illicit networks and criminal entrepreneurs to scale-up to big crime. The workshop brings together domain experts and technologists to better understand how new information technologies and infrastructures are changing the criminal landscape and explore how multi-stakeholders cooperation can help improve urban resilience.
