The 12th Conference on IT Security Incident Management & IT Forensics (IMF 2023)

Submission link https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=imf2023
Extended submission deadline     January 30, 2023

Since 2003, IMF has established itself as one of the premier venues for
presenting research on IT security incident response and management and
IT forensics. While the first IMF conference was organized to establish
a research forum for German-speaking researchers and practitioners from
the field, it soon became an international conference attracting many
experts across Europe. The goal of the conference is to bring together
two worlds IT security incident response and management and IT
forensics. In 2023 the 12th edition of this conference will be held in
Munich.

IMF provides an informal collaborative environment each year that brings
together leading researchers, practitioners, industry, tool developers,
academics, law enforcement, and other government bodies from around the
globe to tackle current and emerging challenges in their fields.

We invite original contributions as research papers, non-research
practitioner presentations, and panels on the following topics in
digital forensics and IT security incident response and management:

## IT Security Incident Management

        • Incident management standardization, metrics, and life cycle
        • Incident management formats and protocols
        • Incident response and/or Vulnerability response workflows,
procedures, and tools
        • Incident analysis including live analysis
        • Research in incident management and related processes
        • Development of tools supporting incident management processes
        • Sharing of data/information about threats, attacks, incidents, etc.
        • Setup of cyber defense entities including but not limited to: CSIRTs,
PSIRTs, ISACs, SOCs, and any other organization specializing in (some)
IT security incident management processes
        • Maturity of such cyber defense entities
        • Warning of large-scale communities about upcoming threats or detected
vulnerabilities
        • Ensuring situational awareness and early warning
        • Mandatory vs. discretionary attack / incident / vulnerability reporting
        • Non-traditional incident management scenarios and approaches (such as
IoT, OT, Industry 4.0)

## IT Forensics

        • Research and development of tools supporting digital forensics
        • Large-scale analytic approaches to forensics, including data
collection, data mining, and large-scale visualization
        • Digital forensic laboratories and other organizations specializing in
digital forensic science
        • Addressing forensic challenges of systems-on-a-chip
        • Anti-forensics and anti-anti-forensics
        • Bridging the gap between analog and digital traces/evidence/investigators
        • Case studies and trend reports
        • Data hiding and discovery
        • Data recovery and reconstruction
        • Database forensics
        • Digital evidence and the law
        • Digital evidence storage and preservation
        • Event reconstruction methods and tools
        • Interpersonal communications and social network analysis
        • Malware and targeted attacks: analysis, attribution
        • Memory analysis
        • Mobile and embedded device forensics
        • Multimedia forensic analysis
        • Network and distributed system forensics
        • Non-traditional forensic scenarios and approaches (e.g. vehicles,
control systems, and SCADA)
        • Storage forensics, including file system and Flash
        • Tool testing and development
        • Triage, prioritization, automation: efficiently processing large
amounts of data in digital forensics
        • Typology of digital traces
        • Virtualized environment forensics, with specific attention to the
cloud and virtual machine introspection
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 pc-chair <at> imf-conference <dot> org.  Please address general
queries about IMF to 2023 <at> imf-conference <dot> org.

# IMPORTANT DATES (Please note that all deadlines are firm)

        • Papers & Presentation/Panel Proposals: January 30, 2023 23:59 (UTC)
        • Author notification: March 17, 2023
        • Final draft papers due & presenter registration: March 31, 2023
        • Conference Dates:  May 23, 2023 - May 24, 2023

# SUBMISSIONS

IMF invites to submit full papers, presenting novel and mature research
results, as well as practice papers, describing best practices, case
studies, or lessons learned. The maximum paper length for full papers is
20 pages, including the bibliography and well-marked appendices. Short
papers for reporting early research results or best practice approaches
are limited to 10 pages.

Research papers and presentation proposals must be submitted through the
EasyChair site at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=imf2023

All submissions must be written in the English language (see below) and
submitted in PDF format. Submissions must be anonymized. Authors of
accepted papers must ensure that their papers will be presented at the
conference. Submitted full papers must not substantially overlap papers
that have been published elsewhere or that are simultaneously submitted
to a journal or a conference with proceedings.

All submissions will be reviewed by the program committee and papers
accepted for presentation at the conference will be included in the
conference proceedings.

Send any questions about research paper / presentation proposal
submissions to: pc-chair <at> imf-conference <dot> org

# LANGUAGE

IMF 2023's scope is international. Hence all submissions must be written
in English language. Presentations of accepted papers must be given in
English language as well.

# STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

A limited number of scholarships (no registration fee, two hotel nights)
may be awarded to students presenting a paper at the conference. The
intent is to help alleviate the financial burden due to the cost of
hotel expenses and conference registration. For more information, please
contact the TPC Chairs (<pc-chair <at> imf-conference <dot> org>).

Information about the technical program committee is available via the
conference website.

Sincerely,

    Andreas Dewald & Thomas Schreck
