CALL FOR PAPERSrSAC 2011rFor the past twenty-five years the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) has been a primaryrinternational forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers and application developers torgather, present their work, and interact. SAC 2011 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group onrApplied Computing (SIGAPP) and is hosted by the Tunghai University in TaiChung, Taiwan. SACrproceedings are published by ACM and are available through ACM's Digital Library. For morerinformation on SAC 2011, please visit: http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2011.rComput... Forensics TrackrWith the exponential growth of computer users, the number of criminal activities that involves computersrhas increased tremendously. The field of Computer Forensics has gained considerable attention in the pastrfew years. It is clear that in addition to law enforcement agencies and legal personnel, the involvement ofrcomputer savvy professionals is vital for any digital incident investigation. Unfortunately, there are notrmany well-qualified computer crime investigators available to meet this demand. An approach to solverthis problem is to develop state-of-the-art research and development tools for practitioners in addition torcreating awareness among computer users.rThe primary goal of this track will be to provide a forum for researchers, practitioners, and educatorsrinterested in Computer Forensics in order to advance research and educational methods in this increasinglyrchallenging field. We expect that people from academia, industry, government, and law enforcement willrshare their previously unpublished ideas on research, education, and practice through this track. We solicitroriginal, previously unpublished papers in the following general (non-exhaustive) list of topics.r? Incident Response and Live Data Analysisr? Operating System and Application Analysisr? File System Analysisr? Network Evidence Collectionr? Network Forensicsr? Data Hiding and Recoveryr? Digital Image Forensicsr? Event Reconstruction and Trackingr? Forensics in Untrusted Environmentsr? Hardware Assisted Forensicsr? Legal, Ethical and Privacy Issuesr? Attributing Malicious Cyber Activityr? Design for Forensic Evaluationr? Visualization for ForensicsrImportant DatesrPaper Submission: August 31, 2010 Author Notification: October 12, 2010rCamera-Ready Copy Due: November 2, 2010rPaper Submission GuidelinesrAll papers will be fully refereed and undergo a blind review process.
