[Imageworld] International Workshop on Digital Crime and Forensics

[Chang-Tsun Li]

2008 International Workshop on Digital Crime and Forensics
http://www.dcs.warwick.ac.uk/~ctli/CFP_IWDCF2008.html
    in conjunction with
The Fourth International Conference on Intelligent Information Hiding 
and Multimedia Signal Processing
Harbin, China, August 15 - 17, 2008



Call For Paper

The development and convergence of multimedia processing techniques and 
information and communication technology (ICT) have brought about 
enormous opportunities for the world economy and exciting possibilities 
for every sector of the modern societies. However, close and strong 
interweaving facilitated by these techniques also poses concerns and 
threats. When exploited with malign intentions, the same tools provide 
means for doing harms at a colossal scale. The objective of this 
workshop is to provide and foster a forum for advancing research and 
development of the theory and practice of digital crime prevention and 
forensics. It addresses a broad range of digital crime and forensics 
disciplines that use electronic devices and softwares for crime 
prevention and investigation.
