Dear Collegues,
Please consider submitting papers to IWCC 2014 (International Workshop on Cyber
Crime) which is is part of the IEEE CS Security & Privacy Workshops (SPW 2014),
an event of the IEEE CS Technical Committee on Security and Privacy and like
last year will be co-located with IEEE S&P 2014 in the Fairmont Hotel, San
Jose, CA, USA, May 17-18, 2014.
CALL FOR PAPERS
IWCC 2014 is part of the IEEE CS Security & Privacy Workshops (SPW 2014), an
event of the IEEE CS Technical Committee on Security and Privacy.

Today's world's societies are becoming more and more dependent on open networks
such as the Internet - where commercial activities, business transactions and
government services are realized. This has led to the fast development of new
cyber threats and numerous information security issues which are exploited by
cyber criminals. The inability to provide trusted secure services in
contemporary computer network technologies has a tremendous socio-economic
impact on global enterprises as well as individuals.
Moreover, the frequently occurring international frauds impose the necessity to
conduct the investigation of facts spanning across multiple international
borders. Such examination is often subject to different jurisdictions and legal
systems. A good illustration of the above being the Internet, which has made it
easier to perpetrate traditional crimes. It has acted as an alternate avenue
for the criminals to conduct their activities, and launch attacks with relative
anonymity. The increased complexity of the communications and the networking
infrastructure is making investigation of the crimes difficult. Traces of
illegal digital activities are often buried in large volumes of data, which are
hard to inspect with the aim of detecting offences and collecting evidence.
Nowadays, the digital crime scene functions like any other network, with
dedicated administrators functioning as the first responders.
This poses new challenges for law enforcement policies and forces the computer
societies to utilize digital forensics to combat the increasing number of
cybercrimes. Forensic professionals must be fully prepared in order to be able
to provide court admissible evidence. To make these goals achievable, forensic
techniques should keep pace with new technologies.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together the research accomplishments
provided by the researchers from academia and the industry. The other goal is
to show the latest research results in the field of digital forensics and to
present the development of tools and techniques which assist the investigation
process of potentially illegal cyber activity. We encourage prospective authors
to submit related distinguished research papers on the subject of both:
theoretical approaches and practical case reviews.
The workshop will be accessible to both non-experts interested in learning
about this area and experts interesting in hearing about new research and
approaches.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Cyber crimes: evolution, new trends and detection
• Cyber crime related investigations
• Computer and network forensics
• Digital forensics tools and applications
• Digital forensics case studies and best practices
• Privacy issues in digital forensics
• Network traffic analysis, traceback and attribution
• Incident response, investigation and evidence handling
• Integrity of digital evidence and live investigations
• Identification, authentication and collection of digital evidence
• Anti-forensic techniques and methods
• Watermarking and intellectual property theft
• Social networking forensics
• Steganography/steganalysis and covert/subliminal channels
• Network anomalies detection
• Novel applications of information hiding in networks
• Political and business issues related to digital forensics and
anti-forensic techniques
SUBMISSIONS AND REGISTRATION
Authors are invited to submit Regular Papers (maximum 8 pages) or Short Papers
(maximum 4 pages) via EasyChair. Papers accepted by the workshop will be
published in the Conference Proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society
Press.
Papers must be formatted for US letter (not A4) size paper with margins of at
least 3/4 inch on all sides. The text must be formatted in a two-column layout,
with columns no more than 9 in. high and 3.375 in. wide. The text must be in
Times font, 10-point or larger, with 12-point or larger line spacing. Authors
are encouraged to use the IEEE conference proceedings templates found here.
Failure to adhere to the page limit and formatting requirements will be grounds
for rejection.
The following is a URL link to the "Author's Final Paper Formatting and
Submission Instructions" Webpage (Online Author Kit) for 2014 IEEE Security and
Privacy Workshops (SPW 2014).
The extended versions of high-quality papers selected from the workshop will be
published in a special issue of the EURASIP Journal on Information Security
(tentative).
