For the 20 years, researchers from all over the world have contributed tremendously to the technologies of crime investigation and forensics. Notably, in recent years, digital forensics, which was previously almost the synonym for computer forensics, has developed more and more subfields such as the network forensics, content forensics, source tracing, etc. However, while the advance of digital technologies boosts the development of forensic techniques, it also helps criminals and law violators. Particularly, anti-forensic technologies are also widely studied nowadays. Therefore, a series of problems still exist in various areas including the mathematical modelling, computational intelligence, accuracy improvement, new method development, and performance evaluations, etc. The focus of this workshop is on calling up the research groups to remove the obstacles.

This workshop is organized by the Computer Forensics Expert Committee of Chinese Institute of Electronics and the International Journal of Digital Crime and Forensics (IJDCF), and jointly organized by the State Key Laboratory of Information Security at Institute of Information Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the Key Laboratory of Intelligent Network and Network Security of the Ministry of Education (MOE) at Xi’an Jiao Tong University. Jiangxi Institute of Police will hold the workshop of the year 2017.
