2007 International Workshop on Computational Forensics -
Methods, Applications and Challenges in Computed-Assisted Criminal Investigations ( http://www.nislab.no/events/iwcf_2007 )
in conjunction with 3rd International Symposium on Information Assurance and Security ( http://www.ias07.org/ )
August 31, 2007 Manchester, United Kingdom
CALL FOR PAPERS - Submission Deadline: March 31, 2007
Due to increasing awareness of the importance of computer-based analysis in security applications and criminal investigations, there is an expanding need for advanced computational methods and intelligent systems. The workshop serves as a platform for researchers in computer and forensic sciences to discuss current challenges in forensic investigation services and to present latest research results on algorithms and methods used in forensic casework. The focus of this workshop is not only restricted to digital computer forensics and incidence response. It also addresses a broad spectrum of forensic disciplines that use computer tools for criminal investigation. Possible disciplines are pathology, trace, biology, prints, ballistics and anthropology. Objects to be studied are for example tool marks, shoeprints, fire debris, vehicles, tire impressions, questioned documents, physiological and behavioral patterns.
Topics
The topics of interest for submission include, but are not limited to:
Algorithms: Filtering, Image and Data Representation, Image Registration, Super resolution, Feature Extraction, Data Mining, Search Techniques, Machine Learning and Statistical Data Analysis, Fuzzy Logic, Evolutionary Algorithms, Fusion and Ensemble Learning.
Applications: Anthropology, Ballistics, Biology, Digital Computer Forensics, Fiber Analysis, Fire Debris, Incidence Response, Pathology, Physiological and Behavioral Patterns, Prints, Questioned Documents, Tire Impressions, Tool marks, Trace, Shoeprints, Vehicles.
Paper Submission
Papers should be original and contain contributions of theoretical, experimental or application nature, or be unique experience reports. The page limit is 6 pages in IEEE 8.5" x 11" two-column format with fonts not smaller than 10 points.
Papers submitted to the workshop organizers until March 31, 2007 will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and soundness by at least three independent experts. All papers accepted will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press.
Some of the accepted papers will be invited for an edited volume on Computational Forensics.
Detailed instructions is also available from the workshop web site: ( http://www.nislab.no/events/iwcf_2007 )
