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 topic areas including
the following:
- Threat Intelligence
-"Big data" forensics, related to collection, analysis, and visualization
- Malware and targeted attacks (analysis and attribution)
- Memory analysis and snapshot acquisition
- Storage forensics, including solid state
- Incident response and live analysis
- Forensics of cloud and virtualized environments
- 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. Papers must be
written in English and should not exceed 10 single-spaced, two-column
pages with 1 inch margins and 10pt font. Accepted papers will be
required to utilize the provided Microsoft Word template or Elsevier's
LaTeX template (elsarticle class with the "5p" option). Authors are
encouraged to use these templates for the submission version as well.
Presentations, posters, workshops, and demos undergo a light review
process to select presentations of maximal interest to DFRWS attendees
and filter out sales pitches. Presentations are of 20 minutes duration
and are delivered alongside academic papers in the main conference.
Workshops occur either before or after the main conference. These are
intended as in-depth and practical learning opportunities for attendees
and often include hands-on participation by attendees. Workshop
proposals must specify their target length of either 2 or 4 hours.
Submission criteria are available on the conference website.
