With the economic globalization, there have been many new phenomena, new situations and new challenges in the industries in many countries. It is a necessary for academics to conduct in-depth research on industrial organization, industrial structure, industrial development, industrial distribution, industrial policies as well as the theories of industrial security from the view of globalization. International Conference on Industrial Economics System and Industrial Security Engineering (IEIS) is initiated under such backgrounds and is to provide a forum for scholars and practitioners in the world to discuss the problems in industrial economics and industrial security theories and practices. It aims to provide insights in solving the problems in national economy, social development and economic security. The conference theme is “industrial development, industrial security and national economic security under the background of globalization”.

IEIS is jointly initiated by China Center for Industrial Security Research of Beijing Jiaotong University, International Center for Informatics Research of Beijing Jiaotong University and University of California at Berkley.
