[DFSci] DFRWS EU 2022 Call for Workshop Proposals

[Mark Scanlon]

Dear Colleagues,

DFRWS EU invites submissions to present workshop sessions, which allow for
an in-depth, detailed presentation 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 almost anything that
DFRWS attendees would consider beneficial. While commercial tools can be
used, these workshops should NOT be thinly veiled commercial
advertisements. We strongly encourage workshop authors to include
activities that require active participation by attendees (e.g., a sample
forensic analysis on their own laptops using a particular tool or set of
tools). DFRWS will provide one free conference registration for each
workshop accepted.

DFRWS EU’s planning is underway to take place in March 2022 as a hybrid
physical and online event. With the ever changing situation due to
COVID-19, this planning also facilitates online delivery should the
conference have to move to an online only event.

*** Topics of Interest ***
Besides those listed in the Call for Papers (
https://dfrws.org/conferences/dfrws-eu-2022/), we particularly encourage
submissions about deeper, practical aspects of digital forensics. For
example, how to use particular digital forensic tools, what evidence is
available on devices, how to acquire or process such evidence, and more.

*** Important Dates ***
• Submission deadline: 28th January, 2022 (Anywhere on Earth)
• Acceptance notification: 4th February, 2022
• Conference dates: 28th-31st March 2022

*** Submission Requirements  ***
Proposals for tutorials and workshops should include the following details:

• Summary (1-2 paragraphs), clearly indicating the workshop format (i.e.,
how much is a presentation and how much is interactive/hands-on). This text
will appear on the website so that attendees can determine if they would
like to attend.
• Intended length (2 or 4 hours)
• Delivery format: Physical workshop only/online workshop only/hybrid
delivery possible
• Intended audience and the required level of technical knowledge.
• A description of materials that you will provide to participants
(software, handouts, etc.). Will participants need to download before or
during the workshop?
• What DFRWS should provide (projector, screen, wireless network, etc.).
• What participants should provide (personal laptop, disk space, OS,
software, etc.).
• Time required (preferably a two- or four-hour block).
• A short bio for the website including your name(s), title(s), and
affiliation(s).
• Outline of the workshop’s time breakdown, at 15-minute resolution.

For accepted proposals, a draft of the presentation slides is due
approximately one month before the conference. These slides will be
reviewed by the workshop chairs. Proposals for workshops must be emailed to
eu-workshops at dfrws.org in PDF or plain-text format. Sample workshop
proposal template available here:
