Submission Types

Short briefing papers: Such papers need not be extensive. A technology
or a management briefing on an aspect of digital forensics, information
assurance, and/or cyber law would be enough. Such papers will be
presented by the author in a round table discussion format at the
conference. Typical length would be around 1500-2000 words.

Research papers: Such papers need to be extensive. Usually a research
question or an argument is posed and subsequently conducted. Empirical
work (quantitative or qualitative) would be necessary. Research papers
will be presented by the authors in a regular conference session.
Typical length would be around 5000-6000 words. All research papers will
be considered for publication in the Journal of Digital Forensics,
Security and Law (JDFSL).

Case Studies: Case studies are typically descriptions of a given digital
forensics situation. Names of organizations/actors can be kept anonymous
to maintain confidentiality. Case studies will be presented by the
authors at the conference. Typical length would be around 5000-6000
words. All case studies will be considered for publication in the
Journal of Digital Forensics, Security and Law (JDFSL).

Panels: Panels and workshop proposals are welcome. These would typically
be around 1000 words long and cover a current technology or a
controversial issue.

The primary audience will include individuals who are interested in
developing curriculum and teaching methods as well as conducting
research related to the areas of digital forensics, security and law.
This conference will be of value to both academic and practitioner
audiences.
All submissions are double blind peer reviewed.
