From Frank.Breitinger at uni.li Sat Oct 3 05:35:46 2020 From: Frank.Breitinger at uni.li (Breitinger Frank) Date: Sat, 3 Oct 2020 12:35:46 +0000 Subject: [DFSci] DFRWS EU 2021 CfP - EXTENDED DEADLINE In-Reply-To: References: <3f1ebc5d-7a7d-176e-ca7f-63fb488e32fa@uni.li>, <3aba1cb4-e817-4857-b6ec-61aae32c5f8c@uni.li>, Message-ID: <05bb02cea8fc4eedb1e93046d2e02d13@uni.li> DFRWS EU 2021 (https://dfrws.org/conferences/dfrws-eu-2021) will be hosted online in Cyberspace. *Due to difficulties with the website, please use the following link for up to date information:* www.fbreitinger.de/dfrws Call for Participation ---------------------- For this year?s DFRWS EU, we are planning a fully online event and this delivery will contain all of the elements you expect from DFRWS events. We successfully replicated all of the components of the regular physical DFRWS event for DFRWS EU and USA 2020, both held online, incorporating the formal technical programme and the social events. Due to the uncertainty surrounding potential travel restrictions for the 2021 event due to COVID-19, we have made the decision early to run DFRWS EU 2021 online. Despite the conference running online, DFRWS Europe 2021 will include; Keynotes, Papers and Presentations, Hands-on Workshops, Poster and Demo Sessions, the Forensics Rodeo, Interactive Birds of a Feather Sessions and Lightning Talks. Participation ------------- DFRWS invites contributions in the categories listed below. We ask to submit all contributions via EasyChair (https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=dfrwseu2021) and follow the submission guidelines (https://dfrws.org/submission-criteria-eu/). _Due to difficulties, please see here for submission criteria_: https://www.fbreitinger.de/dfrws/submission.html FULL RESEARCH PAPERS undergo double-blinded peer review, and the proceedings are published by Elsevier as a special issue of the Journal of Forensic Science International: Digital Investigation. We ask to submit articles according to the submission instructions. PRESENTATIONS / DEMOS require a brief proposal (~500 words, informal), not a paper. These proposals undergo a light review process to select presentations of maximal interest to DFRWS attendees, and to filter out sales pitches. Accepted proposals will be given a presentation slot (~15min) during the conference. These proposals must be submitted through EasyChair. Note that the presentation/demo will not be part of the published proceedings. POSTERS allow for the presentation of current research efforts and the discussion of preliminary results with the Digital Forensics Community. Consequently, posters can include early results, brief demonstration of a prototype or can outline research ideas. Posters will be available on the website and authors have the opportunity to present during breaks. WORKSHOPS / TUTORIALS can be 2 to 4 hours (please indicate) and typically include hands-on participation by attendees, allowing for an in-depth, detailed exploration of tools and techniques of interest to DFRWS attendees. Workshops can cover state-of-the-art research projects, useful tips and techniques for standard tools, or most anything that DFRWS attendees would consider beneficial. While commercial tools can be used, these workshops or tutorials should NOT be thinly-veiled commercial advertisements. DFRWS will provide one free conference registration for each workshop accepted. PANEL PROPOSALS should be one to three pages and clearly describe the topic, its relevance, and a list of potential panelists including their biographies (short). Panels will be evaluated based on the topic relevance and diversity of the panelists. Submission Information ---------------------- All submissions must be submitted through the EasyChair site at https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=dfrwseu2021. Submissions must be in PDF format and follow the submission criteria and guidelines (https://dfrws.org/submission-criteria-eu/ ). Organizers may reject work that does not follow the listed criteria. _Due to difficulties, please see here for submission criteria_: https://www.fbreitinger.de/dfrws/submission.html Topics of Interest ------------------ DFRWS welcomes new perspectives that push the envelope of what is currently possible in digital forensics. Potential topics to be addressed by submissions include, but are not limited to: - Machine learning and data mining for digital evidence extraction/query - Malware and targeted attacks (analysis and attribution) - Forensics analysis and visualization of Big Data - Non-traditional forensic scenarios / contexts - Network and distributed system forensics - Mobile and embedded device forensics - Cloud and virtualized environments - Vehicle forensics (e.g., drones, cars) - SCADA / industrial control systems - Covert channels (e.g. TOR, VPN) - Implanted medical devices - Smart power grids - Smart buildings - Virtual currency - Digital forensic preparedness / readiness - Digital investigation case management - Digital evidence sharing and exchange - Digital forensic triage / survey - Digital forensic tool validation - Event reconstruction methods and tools - Digital evidence and the law - Case studies and trend reports - Anti-forensics and anti-anti-forensics Student Scholarship and Award Program ------------------------------------- DFRWS continues its outreach to students studying digital forensics. DFRWS and its sponsors will award one or more Scholarships each year to students (first author) who present their accepted research papers. One scholarship will be awarded to the Best Student Research Paper awardee. More scholarships may be awarded, depending on sponsorship funding each year. Exact award amounts will vary, but usually cover at least registration expenses. DFRWS will notify the recipient of the Best Student Research Paper award on or before the conference registration deadline. Other awards (e.g. industry sponsored awards for research in specific topic areas) may be awarded after the registration deadline and are fully contingent on scholarship sponsorship by industry each year. Refer to the website for further details regarding eligibility, funding and selection (Student Scholarship & Award Program).
