2nd International Workshop on Computational Forensics (IWCF'08) -
Methods, Applications and Challenges in Computer-Assisted Criminal Investigations ( http://iwcf08.arsforensica.org/ )
National Academy of Sciences: Keck Center in Washington DC, USA August 7-8, 2008
CALL FOR PAPERS - Submission Deadline: April 20, 2008
Proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag in the LNCS series.
The workshop is endorsed by the International Association of Pattern Recognition (IAPR) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Computational Forensics is an emerging research domain. It concerns the investigation of forensic problems using computational methods.
IWCF¹08 serves as a forum for researchers in computer and forensic sciences to discuss current challenges in computer-assisted forensic investigations and to present recent work and research results.
The workshop addresses a broad spectrum of forensic disciplines that use computational methods, i.e. statistical pattern analysis, computer-based recognition, modeling, and simulation. Possible disciplines are anthropology, ballistics, biology, impressions, pathology, prints and trace. Objects to be studied are, for example, tool marks, shoeprints, friction ridge impressions, vehicles, tire impressions, questioned documents, fire debris, physiological and behavioral patterns. A particular focus of the workshop is the analysis of pattern evidence where is there is much human subjectivity.
IWCF¹08 invites authors to submit their original and unpublished work from all areas of computational forensics.

Applications: Anthropology, Ballistics and Fire Arms, Biology, Fiber Analysis, Fire Debris, Pathology, Physiological and Behavioral Patterns, Prints, Questioned Documents, Friction Ridge Impressions, Tire Impressions, Tool Marks, Traces, Shoeprints, Vehicles.
Paper Submission
Papers should be original and contain contributions of theoretical, experimental or application nature, or be unique experience reports.
Manuscripts have to be prepared in accordance with the Springer LNCS format guidelines. ( http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-72376-0 ). The maximum number of pages is 12.
Electronic submissions received via the workshop site until April 20, 2008 will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and soundness by at least three independent experts.
