[Dampier, Dave]

Folks,
       The deadline is about to pass, and we would like to give a little extra time to submit papers, so we are extending the deadline for submission to June 10th, 2016.  Hopefully, we will be able to keep the rest of the dates the same, or as close as possible to the original dates.

Call for Papers
SADFE-2016
Eleventh International Conference on Systematic Approaches to Digital Forensics Engineering

http://sadfe.org

           September 20th - 22nd, 2016, Kyoto, Japan

SADFE-2016 is concerned with the generation, analysis and sustainability of digital evidence and evolving t tools and techniques that are used in this effort. Advancement in this field requires innovative methods, systems, and practices, which are grounded in solid research coupled with an understanding of user needs. Digital forensics at SADFE focuses on the issues introduced by the coupling of rapidly advancing technologies and increased globalization. We believe digital forensic engineering is vital to security, the administration of justice and the evolution of culture.
