SADFE 2016 Eleventh International Conference on Systematic Approaches to Digital Forensics Engineering http://sadfe.org September 20th - 22nd, 2016, Kyoto, Japan Call for Papers SADFE-2016 is concerned with the generation, analysis and sustainability of digital evidence and evolving t tools and techniques that are used in this effort. Advancement in this field requires innovative methods, systems, and practices, which are grounded in solid research coupled with an understanding of user needs. Digital forensics at SADFE focuses on the issues introduced by the coupling of rapidly advancing technologies and increased globalization. We believe digital forensic engineering is vital to security, the administration of justice and the evolution of culture. Conference Topics Potential topics include, but are not limited to: Digital Data and Evidence Collection: Identification, authentication and collection of digital evidence Extraction and management of forensic artifacts Identification and redaction of personally identifying/sensitive information Evidence and digital memory preservation, curation and storage Compliance of architectures and processes (including network processes) with forensic requirements Data, digital knowledge, and web mining systems for identification and authentication of data Honeynets and other deception technologies that collect data for forensic analysis Innovative forensic techniques for new technologies Digital Evidence Management, Integrity and Analytics: Advanced search, analysis, and presentation of digital evidence Cybercrime analysis, modeling and reconstruction technologies Tools and techniques for combining digital and non-digital evidence Supporting both qualitative and quantitative evidence Handling of evidence and the preservation of data integrity and admissibility Digital evidence in the face of encryption Forensic-support technologies: forensic-enabled and proactive monitoring/response Scientific Principle-Based Digital Forensic Processes Examination environments for digital data Legal/technical aspects of admissibility and evidence tests Forensic tool validation: legal implications and issues Handling increasing volumes of digital discovery Computational Forensics and Validation Issues in Forensic Authentication and Validation. Forensic Readiness by Design Forensics tool validation Computational systems and computational forensic analysis Legal, Ethical and Technical Challenges Forensics, policy and ethical implications new and evolving technologies Legal and privacy implications for digital and computational forensic analysis New Evidence Decisions Legal case construction and digital evidence support Transnational Investigations/Case Integration Managing geographically, politically and/or jurisdictionally dispersed data artifacts Case studies illustrating privacy, legal and legislative issues Courtroom expert witness and case presentation The Impacts of the following on any of the above Technological challenges Legal and ethical challenges Economic challenges Political challenges Cultural and professional challenges New Trends (Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, Smart City, Big Data, etc.) Important Deadlines Paper submission: June 1, 2016 Author Notification: July 15, 2016 Final paper due: August 15, 2016 Conference: September 20 - 22, 2016 Publication SADFE-2016 papers will have the opportunity to be published in a Special Issue of the Journal of Digital Forensics, Security and Law (JDFSL) and will undergo a double-blind review process.
