DFRWS USA invites submissions to present tutorial and workshop sessions. Tutorials and workshops allow for an in-depth, detailed presentation of tools and techniques of interest to DFRWS attendees and they can cover state-of-the-art research projects, useful tips and techniques for standard tools, or most anything that DFRWS attendees would consider beneficial.
While commercial tools can be used, these workshops or tutorials should NOT be thinly-veiled commercial advertisements.
We strongly encourage workshop/tutorial authors to include activities that require active participation by attendees (e.g., a sample forensic analysis on their own laptops using a particular tool or set of tools).
DFRWS will provide one free conference registration for each tutorial and workshop accepted.
Besides the topics of interest as listed in the CFP, we particularly encourage submissions about deeper, practical aspects of digital forensics. For example, how to use particular digital forensic tools, what evidence is available on devices, how to acquire or process such evidence, and more.
Please note: all deadlines are firm.
Proposals for tutorials and workshops should be under five pages and include the following details:
All proposals will be evaluated and notifications sent at the same time DFRWS paper notifications are sent.
For accepted proposals, a draft of the presentation slides is due approximately two months before the conference. These slides will be reviewed by the workshop chairs. Subsequently, presenters must submit a final copy of their slides approximately FOUR WEEKS BEFORE THE CONFERENCE. Please see the important dates section for exact dates.
Proposals for tutorials and workshops must be emailed to usa-workshops (at) dfrws (dot) org in PDF or plain text format.
