Dear Colleague,

(Apologies for multiple postings)

We would like to invite you to submit your contributions to the 1st 
International Workshop on Big Data Analytic for Cyber Crime 
Investigation and Prevention. It is co-located with IEEE International 
Conference on Big Data 2017 that will take place in Boston, USA, 
December 11-14, 2017.

*** IMPORTANT DATES ***
Oct 19, 2017 (Extended from Oct 10, 2017): Due date for full workshop 
papers submission
Nov 5, 2017 (Extended from Nov 1, 2017): Notification of paper 
acceptance to authors
Nov 20, 2017 (Extended from Nov 15, 2017): Camera-ready for accepted papers
Dec 11-14, 2017: Workshops


*** INTRODUCTION ***
The big data paradigm has become inevitable in every aspect of the 
digital forensics process. Increase in personal devices (such as 
computers, smart phones, tablets, sensors and storage mediums) results 
in an expanding volume of potential evidence found in them. The increase 
in data is one of the largest challenges facing law enforcements’ timely 
prosecutions; with the effect, that human analysts can no longer be the 
lone actor in the loop. There is a need to create innovative and 
advanced models and analysis methods to help human analysts within law 
enforcements in order to automatically aid with the discovery, 
correlation, examination, analysis and understanding of evidence in 
criminal cases. Advanced big data analytics are important for cybercrime 
investigation and require novel approaches for automation.
