DFASP 2021
2021 IEEE CSR Workshop on Digital Forensics: Evidence Analysis via Intelligent Systems and Practices (DFASP)
Digital forensics is a branch of the criminalistics sciences which deals with the exploitation of digital evidence in the solution of criminal cases through the application of scientific principles. There are several well-established methods and procedures for collecting digital evidence. Collected evidence must however be exploited to elicit hypotheses concerning events, actions and facts (or sequences of them) with the goal to obtain evidence to present in court. Evidence analysis involves examining fragmented incomplete/uncertain knowledge, and reconstructing and aggregating complex scenarios involving time, uncertainty, causality, and alternative possibilities. No established methodology exists today for digital evidence analysis.
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners on forensics with the goal of fostering new connections and inspiring joint collaborations to explore the potential of the application of Artificial Intelligence and Automated Reasoning in the Digital Forensics field, and creating synergies between these fields.
