DFRWS 2008: 8th Annual Digital Forensic Research Workshop. Baltimore, MD. August 11-13, 2008. (Submissions due March 17, 2008). DFRWS brings together leading researchers, developers, practitioners, and educators interested in advancing the state of the art in digital forensics from around the world. As the most established venue in the field, DFRWS is the preferred place 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 original contributions as research papers, panel proposals, Work-in-Progress talks, and demo proposals. All papers are evaluated through a double-blind peer-review process, and those accepted will be published in printed proceedings by Elsevier. Topics of Interest * Incident response and live analysis * Network-based forensics, including network traffic analysis, traceback and attribution * Event reconstruction methods and tools * File system and memory analysis * Application analysis * Embedded systems * Small scale and mobile devices * Large-scale investigations * Digital evidence storage and preservation * Data mining and information discovery * Data hiding and recovery * File extraction from data blocks (“file carving”) * Multimedia analysis * Tool testing and development * Digital evidence and the law * Anti-forensics and anti-anti-forensics * Case studies and trend reports * Non-traditional approaches to forensic analysis 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.
