DFRWS 2015 - 15th Annual DFRWS Conference

The DFRWS digital forensics conference brings together leading researchers, developers, practitioners, and educators from around the world to advance the state of the art in digital forensics. Established in 2001, DFRWS has become the premier forum to present both cutting-edge research and perspectives on best practices for all aspects of digital forensics. As an independent organization, we promote open community discussions and disseminate the results of our work to the widest audience.
We invite contributions in five categories: research papers, presentation proposals, panel proposals, tutorial/workshop proposals, and demo proposals.
RESEARCH PAPERS are evaluated through a double-blind, peer-reviewing process, and accepted research papers will be published in printed proceedings by Elsevier.
PRESENTATIONS are opportunities for industry researchers and practitioners who do not have the time to write a paper, but who have forensics information and experiences that would be of interest to DFRWS attendees. Presentation proposals undergo a light reviewing process to filter out sales pitches and ensure the topic is relevant to our audience.
The 15th Annual DFRWS Conference is held in cooperation with the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and its Special Interest Group on Security, Audit and Control (SIGSAC).
