CALL FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS
==============================================

The Northeast Digital Forensics Exchange (NeFX) is a workshop,  
sponsored in part by the National Science Foundation, to foster  
collaboration on digital forensics and information assurance between  
federal and state law enforcement, academia, and industry. Our goal is  
to bring together leading practitioners and academics to yield  
partnerships that advance research on digital forensic science through  
mutual sharing of the problems of practice and research.

On the first day of the workshop, we seek to offer attendees a broad  
selection of tutorials reflecting current topics in digital forensics,  
including related fields such as mobile systems and IP networking,  
evidence management, child sexual exploitation investigations, and the  
use or design of investigative tools. We encourage submissions of  
tutorial proposals from the broad spectrum of the NeFX audience, and  
tutorials are welcome to focus on one group of attendees (e.g., those  
without a strong background in networking, or those without a  
background in law enforcement).   Tutorials are welcome to be  
introductory or advanced.

Submissions: All proposals should be aimed at a half-day in length.  
Tutorial proposals should be submitted as a PDF document to the  
workshop chairs, listed below. A tutorial proposal should be 1–2 pages  
in length and include each of the following items:

-Title of the tutorial
-Names of Instructor(s) and their credentials (e.g., a CV)
-Abstract (1–2 paragraphs suitable for advertisement)
-Aims/Learning objectives
-Outline of topics
-Tutorial history (previous offerings of tutorial, if any)
-Target Audience
-Prerequisite knowledge of audience

Evaluation of proposals will be primarily based on the expertise and  
experience of the instructors and on the relevance and timeliness of  
the subject matter.

   * Deadline for submission of proposals: May 1, 2009
