DFRWS EU 2020
Women in Forensic Computing
Digital Forensics Bootcamp

Call for Participation

held in the context of the Digital Forensic Research Conference Europe
(DFRWS EU) on March 24, 2020 in Oxford, UK

organized by Hyunji Chung (Korea University) and Felix Freiling (FAU)

https://www.cybercrime.fau.de/women-in-forensic-computing-2020/

Digital forensic science is the application of scientific methods of
computing in order to recover and investigate evidence found in
digital devices, often in relation to computer crime. Digital evidence
is increasingly important in almost all types of juridical
proceedings, mainly due to the increasing volume and quality of
digital evidence.

The objective of this workshop is to increase the interest of students
and academically young researchers in digital forensic science as a
career field or a research field. Another aim of this workshop is to
increase awareness and appreciation of the achievements of women in
the area of forensic computing/digital forensics and therefore this
workshop wishes to be a forum to help women build their technical
confidence and thereby attract more female researchers to the field.

The workshop will include a sequence of presentations by women that
introduce some fundamental and current topics of the field and allow
for first-hand hands-on experience. We will also feature a session on
ideas for increasing the awareness and appreciation of women in
forensic computing.

Confirmed speakers are:

- Hyunji Chung (Korea University) will talk on "Forensic Analysis of IoT Devices"
- Svenja Mischur, Sarah Becker (intersoft consulting services AG, Hamburg, Germany) will talk about "Cyber Attack: From detection to remediation"
- Daryl Pfeif (Digital Forensics Solutions, LLC, USA) will talk about a part of the Cyber Sleuth Science Lab project

Participation in the workshop is limited.  To participate, send a
one-page letter describing your current affiliation, your research
interests and why the workshop is interesting to you via email to
