[DFSci] CFP: ICDF2C 2018 (Deadline: April 30th)

[Hyunguk Yoo]

***10th EAI International Conference on Digital Forensics & Cyber Crime
(ICDF2C) 2018***

*Location: New Orleans, LA, USA*

*Dates: Sept 10, 2018 (Monday) to Sept 12, 2018 (Wednesday)*

Cyberspace is becoming increasingly central to the basic function of modern
society.  Cybercrime and cyber warfare have emerged as major threats to the
integrity of digital information and to the functioning of cyber-controlled
physical systems. Such threats have direct consequences for almost all
individuals, businesses and organizations, government institutions, and
civic processes.


**SCOPE**

Digital forensics and cybercrime investigations are multidisciplinary areas
that encompass law and law enforcement, computer science and engineering,
IT operations, economics and finance, data analytics and criminal justice.
ICDF2C brings together researchers and practitioners from all these areas
in order to scientifically address the numerous challenges due to the rapid
increase in the amount and variety of data under investigation, as well as
the growing complexity of both the threats and the targeted systems.

Major topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• _Advances in Traditional System Forensic Methods_: data recovery and
reconstruction, filesystem/RAM/network/cache analysis, log analysis, mobile
devices, database forensics, evidence obfuscation/sanitization and counter
measures

• _Multimedia and Artifact Analysis_: audio/video reconstruction, data
hiding and steganography, source authentication and forgery detection,
theft and piracy detection

• _Emerging Approaches to Cyber Forensics_: evidence acquisition and
analysis from cloud services, IoT devices, and social media; automated
evidence processing, big data analytics, machine learning, blockchain
analysis; digital-forensics-as-a-service

• _Incident Response and Malware Analysis_: threat detection, reverse
engineering, triage, malware analysis and remediation, botnets, operational
recovery

• _SCADA Forensics and Critical Infrastructure Protection_: reverse
engineering and analysis of SCADA protocols, attack vectors, defenses;
information warfare and attacks on cyber-physical systems

• _Digital Forensic Science_: theoretical models, applied models, reference
data sets, tool testing, calibration, and validation; new approaches to
training and education

• _Cyber Crime Law, Psychology and Economics_: legal developments, cyber
crime investigations -- methodology and case studies, criminal psychology
and profiling, cyber culture, cyber terrorism, online fraud, cyber crime
economics and markets, cryptocurrencies and money laundering


**RESEARCH PAPERS**

Papers describing original unpublished research are solicited. Submissions
must not be concurrently under review by a conference, journal or any other
venue that has proceedings.

Paper submission will be handled electronically. Papers must be formatted
using Springer LNICST Authors' Kit (
http://icst.org/lnicst-guidelines-for-authors/), shall not exceed 18 pages
and have to be submitted through Easychair.org by going here:

All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through
double-blind reviewing. Authors' names must not appear in the paper.


**BEST PAPER AWARD**

The program committee may designate up to three papers accepted to the
conference as ICDF2C Best Papers. Every submission is automatically
eligible for this award.


**PUBLICATIONS**

All accepted and presented papers will be published by Springer and made
available through LNICST SpringerLink Digital Library (Indexed in EI, ISI,
Scopus, CrossRef, Google Scholar, dblp, MAS, EBSCO, as well as EAI’s own EU
Digital Library (EUDL)) in the ICDF2C 2018 Conference Proceedings.


**OTHER SUBMISSION CATEGORIES**

Submissions can be made in a number of categories. Besides Full Research
Papers, industrial talks, panel proposals, and Workshop / Tutorial
proposals are accepted. Please follow the following guidelines in preparing
your submission.

• _Industrial Talk_: Typically a 1,000 word description of the proposed
talk. All talks must be vendor neutral.
