Mini-Track Description:

Digital forensic science is "the use of scientifically derived and proven methods toward the preservation, collection, validation, identification, analysis, interpretation, documentation, and presentation of digital evidence derived from digital sources for the purpose of facilitating or furthering the reconstruction of events found to be criminal, or helping to anticipate unauthorized actions shown to be disruptive to planned operations." Since it involves the recovery and analysis of system artifacts, it tends to be a highly technical field with contributions primarily from computer scientists. As is often the case with technical fields, however, there exist many important behavioral and organizational research questions that receive insufficient attention. The purpose of this mini-track is to highlight and stimulate greater behavioral and organizational research in digital forensics. We invite submissions related, but not limited to the following topics:


-        Organizational commitment to digital forensic readiness

-        Proactive digital forensic readiness to enhance corporate governance and the privacy implications and considerations thereof

-        Procedural issues with cloud-based digital forensics

-        Decision support systems to improve digital forensic analysis scalability

-        Human computer interaction (HCI), task-technology-fit (TTF), and usability of digital forensic techniques and tools

-        Behavioral investigation of cyber criminals

-        Pedagogical models in digital forensic education

Traditionally technical digital forensics topics are also welcome, but the primary target is on behavioral and organizational research topics. Technical forensic topics include, but are not limited to: memory analysis, storage forensics, computational and big data forensics, incident response, live analysis, virtualized environment forensics, network forensics, malware analysis, event reconstruction and timeline analysis, mobile forensics, embedded device forensics, multimedia forensics, database forensics, social media forensics, cyber-physical system forensics, internet of things forensics, smart grid forensics, case studies, tool testing and error rates, cyber law, anti-forensics, etc.
