Abstract: The continuing technological revolution in communications and information exchange has created an entirely new form of crime, cyber crime. Cyber crime has forced the computer and law enforcement professions to develop new areas of expertise and avenues of collecting and analyzing evidence. This has developed into a science called computer forensics. The process of acquiring, examining, and applying digital evidence is crucial in the success of prosecuting a cyber criminal. With the continuous evolution of technology, it is difficult for law enforcement and computer professionals to stay one step ahead of the technologically savvy criminals. To effectively combat cyber crime, greater emphasis must be placed in the computer forensic field of study, including but not limited to financial support, international guidelines and laws, and training of the professionals involved in the process.

The primary goal of this track will be to provide a forum for researchers, practitioners, and educators interested in Computer Forensics in order to advance research and educational methods in this increasingly challenging field. We expect that people from academia, industry, government, and law enforcement will share their previously unpublished ideas on research, education, and practice through this track
