Participation
-------------------
DFRWS APAC invites contributions in the categories listed below. The
submission details are listed below under SUBMISSION INFORMATION.
FULL RESEARCH PAPERS that align with the conference topics will undergo
a double-blinded peer review process. Accepted papers will be published
in the conference proceedings and can be published for inclusion in a
special issue of Forensic Science International: Digital Investigation
(Elsevier).
PRACTITIONER PRESENTATIONS & DEMOS require a brief proposal (~500 words;
not a full paper) and undergo a light review process to identify content
of high interest to DFRWS attendees and to screen out sales-oriented
material. Presentations are especially meant for practitioners to share
their work. Accepted proposals will be allocated a ~15-minute
presentation slot during the conference.
POSTERS provide an opportunity to present ongoing research and discuss
preliminary results with the digital forensics community during the
conference. Posters may include early findings, research ideas, or a
brief demonstration of a prototype. While posters will not be subject to
formal peer review and will not be included in the published
proceedings, they will be made available on the conference website.
Authors will also have the opportunity to present their posters during
breaks to engage with attendees and receive feedback from the community.
Poster Specifications & Print Guidelines can be found on the website.
WORKSHOPS can range from 2 to 4 hours in length (please indicate your
preferred duration) and should ideally involve hands-on participation by
attendees, enabling an in-depth exploration of tools and techniques
relevant to the DFRWS community. Workshops may focus on cutting-edge
research projects, practical tips and techniques for widely used tools,
or any content that would be of clear benefit to attendees. Proposals
based on research previously presented at DFRWS or involving specialized
hardware are especially encouraged.
More details are listed under "SUBMISSION INFORMATION".
