DFRWS USA 2018
July 15-18, 2018
Providence, Rhode Island, USA

The DFRWS digital forensics conference brings together leading researchers,
developers, practitioners, and educators from around the world to advance
the state of the art in digital forensics. Established in 2001, DFRWS has
become the premier digital forensics conference.

We invite original contributions in the form of research papers,
non-research presentations, demos, and posters in the following topic areas:
Memory analysis and snapshot acquisition
Storage forensics, including solid state
"Big data" forensics, related to collection, analysis, and visualization
Incident response and live analysis
Forensics of cloud and virtualized environments
Malware and targeted attacks (analysis and attribution)
Network and distributed system forensics
Event reconstruction methods and tools
Mobile and embedded device forensics
Digital evidence storage and preservation
Data recovery and reconstruction
Multimedia analysis
Database forensics
Tool testing and development
Digital evidence and the law
Case studies and trend reports
Data hiding and discovery
Anti-forensics and anti-anti-forensics
Interpersonal communications and social network analysis
Non-traditional forensic scenarios and approaches (e.g. vehicles, Internet
of Things, industrial control systems, and SCADA)
Archival preservation & reconstruction

The above list is only suggestive. We welcome new, original ideas from
people in academia, industry, government, and law enforcement who are
interested in sharing their results, knowledge, and experience. Authors are
encouraged to demonstrate the applicability of their work to practical
issues. Questions about submission topics can be sent via email to:
usa-papers (at) dfrws (dot) org

Research papers undergo double-blinded, peer review, and are published by
Elsevier in a special issue of Digital Investigation.

Presentations, posters, and demos undergo a light review process to select
presentations of maximal interest to DFRWS attendees and filter out sales
pitches. Presentation proposals must specify their target length from the
following options: 20 minutes, 120 minutes (2 hours), or 240 minutes (4
hours). Note, 2-4 hour presentations are referred to as 'workshops' and
often include hands-on participation by attendees. Additional information
regarding each type of submission can be found on the DFRWS.org website
at: http://www.dfrws.org/submission-criteria-usa-2018
Submission is via Easy Chair at: https://easychair.org/conferen
