MINITRACK: Digital Forensics – State of the Science and Foundational
Research Activity
(A minitrack within the Software Technology Track)
 
This is a call for “original”  papers addressing the area of digital
forensics – to include research endeavors, industrial experiences and
pedagogy .  This minitrack is attempting to bring together an
international collection of papers from academia, industry and law
enforcement which address current directions in digital forensics. 
Digital forensics includes the use of software, computer science,
software engineering, and criminal justice procedures to explore and or
investigate digital media with the objective of finding evidence to
support a criminal or administrative case.  It involves the
preservation, identification, extraction, and documentation of computer
or network evidence.  This minitrack is interested in a wide variety of
papers which address the following areas as well as others:Pedagogical
papers that describe digital forensics degree programs or the teaching
of digital forensics within other programs internationally. 
Papers that address a research agenda that considers practitioner
requirements, multiple investigative environments and emphasizes real
world usability. 
Papers that present an experience report involving the discovery,
explanation and presentation of conclusive, persuasive evidence from
digital forensics investigation.
Papers that combine research and practice.
Processes for the incorporation of rigorous scientific methods as a
fundamental tenant of the evolving science of Digital Forensics.
Tools and techniques being developed through research activity.

 
 
 
Requirements for paper submission.
HICSS offers a unique and respected forum for the exchange of original
ideas and research in an international forum.  Each paper submitted must
be the author’s original work and not previously published.  Potential
authors are asked tofirst submit an abstract of their intended paper to
the minitrack chairs listed below to ascertain whether or not the topic
is a good fit for the minitrack and to provide an opportunity for early
feedback to the author.  The following timelines are established for
paper submissions to this minitrack:
 
Anytime before May 15, 2009:  Abstracts describing the paper are
submitted to the minitrack chairs for review and feedback.
 
June 15, 2009:  Final papers in HICSS-40 format must be received and
