---------------------------------------------------------------------

Happy new year to everyone!

Welcome to the first edition of the TC6 newsletter. This newsletter
will inform you about the recent development of the IAPR technical
committee on computational forensics. We plan to update you regularly
every 3-4 months with news, information about upcoming and previous
conferences and other activities related to the IAPR-TC6.

All information of IAPR-TC6 can be found at

 Sixth IAPR International Workshop on Computational Forensics (IWCF)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
24th August 2014, Stockholm, Sweden

With the advent of high-end technology, fraudulent efforts are on
rise in many areas of our daily life, may it be fake paper documents,
forgery in the digital domain or copyright infringement. In solving
the related criminal cases use of pattern recognition (PR) principles
is also gaining an important place because of their ability in
successfully assisting the forensic experts to solve many of such cases.
The workshops on Computational Forensics generally aims at addressing
the theoretical and practical issues related to this field, i.e. role
of PR techniques for analysing problems in forensics.
The 6th International Workshop on Computational Forensics (IWCF) will
put emphasis on forged document analysis both in hardcopy and digital
medium. Analysis of handwriting or signature, detection of change in
original documents, writer/speaker identification and verification and
copyright violation will be discussed at length. Effort is to bring
the people together who are working on these issues in different areas
including document and speech processing, music analysis, digital
security, forensic sciences, etc. Some broad areas, though not limited
to, of the workshop are:
* Detection of fake documents
* Authentication of security documents
* Change detection
* Copyright protection
* Encryption and watermarking
* Digital forensics
* Handwriting and Speech analysis
* Face, Palm, and Iris recognition

IWCF Shared Task on Recognition of Android Malware Patterns (RAMP)
---------------------------------------------------------------------

The IWCF 2014 Recognition of Android Malware Patterns (RAMP) competition aims to strengthen the efforts in developing techniques, tools and algorithms analysis of Android malwares. The task has been configured as a pattern analysis based problem. Therefore, the competition encourages pattern recognition community to come up with out of the box and innovative solutions for malware analysis. The details of this competition can be found at the workshop site:

3rd International Workshop on Automatic Forensic Handwriting Analysis
---------------------------------------------------------------------
9-10 August, Honolulu Hawaii, USA

We are pleased to announce the 3rd International workshop on Automated Forensic Handwriting Analysis to be held as a satellite workshop of the 2014 joint meeting of the American Society of Questioned Document Examiners (ASQDE) and the Australasian Society of Forensic Document Examiners (ASFDE). The AFHA 2014 will continue the approach of bringing together researchers in
the fields of automated signature verification and handwriting analysis and experts from the forensic handwriting examination community. The program will be organized in a single-track 2-day workshop. It will comprise several sessions dedicated to specific topics related to automated forensic handwriting analysis.
For each session, there will be an invited presentation describing the state of the art and stating the open questions for the topic of the session. This includes a description of the forensics point of view and examples of real casework as well as a summary of important approaches in the area of automated handwriting examination. On the second day, a workshop about recent research activities will be held. First, Participants with accepted report papers will get the opportunity to talk about their research. Subsequently, in a panel discussion session, all
participants will be able to state their points of view and discuss together about selected topics of the community.
We encourage the participants to submit reports (up to 5 pages in IEEE format) on ongoing research as well as papers on novel directions. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Human versus system performance
• Handwriting features
• Taxonomy of features
• Automated signature verification
• Automated handwriting verification and identification
• Extraction of movement order features from offline signatures
• Allograph matching and clustering
• Signature clustering or classification
• Forensic handwriting examination
• Forensic signature examination
• Determining the strength of evidence
• Bayesian statistics and Bayesian networks
• Within writer and between writer variation
The proceedings will be made available as Open Access on the web before the workshop starts. The proceedings will be distributed to attendees as a workshop booklet.
