CALL FOR PAPERS

**********************************************************************
Eighth Annual IFIP WG 11.9 International Conference on Digital Forensics

University of Pretoria

**********************************************************************

The IFIP Working Group 11.9 on Digital Forensics (www.ifip119.org) is an
active international community of scientists, engineers and
practitioners dedicated to advancing the state of the art of research
and practice in digital forensics. The Eighth Annual IFIP WG 11.9
International Conference on Digital Forensics will provide a forum for
presenting original, unpublished research results and innovative ideas
related to the extraction, analysis and preservation of all forms of
electronic evidence. Papers and panel proposals are solicited. All
submissions will be refereed by a program committee comprising members
of the Working Group. Papers and panel submissions will be selected
based on their technical merit and relevance to IFIP WG 11.9. The
conference will be limited to approximately sixty participants to
facilitate interactions between researchers and intense discussions of
critical research issues. Keynote presentations, revised papers and
details of panel discussions will be published as an edited volume - the
eighth in the series entitled Research Advances in Digital Forensics
(Springer) in the summer of 2012. Revised and/or extended versions of
selected papers from the conference will be published in special issues
of one or more international journals.


Technical papers are solicited in all areas related to the theory and
practice of digital forensics. Areas of special interest include, but
are not limited to:
  * Theories, techniques and tools for extracting, analyzing and
preserving digital evidence
  * Network and cloud forensics
  * Embedded device forensics
  * Digital forensic processes and workflow models
  * Digital forensic case studies
  * Legal, ethical and policy issues related to digital forensics
