Call for Papers: 2024 IEEE CSR International Workshop on Cyber Forensics and Advanced Threat Investigations

Call for Papers: 2024 IEEE CSR Workshop on Cyber Forensics and Advanced Threat Investigations in Emerging Technologies (CFATI 2024)
https://www.acfti.org/news-events/ieee-csr-cfati-cfp-2024
in conjunction with IEEE CSR 2024 conference September 2–4, 2024, London, UK.

Scope of the workshop:
The main motivation for this Workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners working on cyber forensics and threat investigations for emerging technologies to disseminate current research issues and advances. Original technical papers describing new, state-of-the-art research, will be considered. The Workshop welcomes submissions that evaluate existing research results by reproducing experiments. The aim of this workshop is to provide insight for the discussion of the major research challenges and achievements on various topics of interest.

Papers on practical as well as on theoretical topics and problems in various topics related to cyber forensics and threat investigations are invited, with special emphasis on novel techniques and tools to collect data from networked devices and services in emerging networks (such as the ones that can be found in cyber-physical systems and Internet of things). Topics include (but are not limited to):

· Forensics and threat investigations in IoT
· Forensics and threat investigations in peer-to-peer, and social networks
· Forensics and threat investigations in SDN/NFV
· Forensics and threat investigations in Cloud Computing
· Forensics and threat investigations in Smart Technologies Systems (Smart Cars, Smart Homes, Smart Cities)
· Dark Web Investigations, Forensics, and Monitoring
· Forensics and threat investigations in Virtual private networks
· Security and Privacy in Clouds, Fog Computing, and 5G, and 6G
· Security and Privacy in IoT, SDN/NFV, and Edge Computing
· Security and Privacy in Smart Technologies Systems (Smart Cars, Smart Homes, Smart Cities)
· Forensics and visualization of Big Data
· Trusted Computing in Smart Technologies Systems (Smart Cars, Smart Homes, Smart Cities)
· Tools and services for cyber forensics and threat investigations
· OSINT (Open Source Intelligence)
· Cooperative and distributed forensics and threat investigations
· Advanced threat investigations, forensic and anti-forensic techniques
· Attack detection, traceback, and attribution in Emerging Technologies
· Malware Analysis and Attribution
· Digital Evidence Extraction/Analysis using Artificial intelligence, Machine Learning, and Data Mining
· Data exfiltration techniques from networked devices and services (e.g. cyber-physical systems, and Internet-of-Things)
· Methods for reconstruction of Digital Evidence in Emerging Technologies
· Forensics and threat investigations in E-health/M-health
· Vulnerability & threat detection and mitigation techniques for networked services
· Novel large-scale investigations and Machine Learning techniques to analyze intelligence data sets and logs

We also encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of cybersecurity, cyber defense, and digital crimes.

Submissions & Proceedings:
Submissions that evaluate existing research results, by reproducing experiments are welcome. Papers on practical as well as theoretical topics and problems in various topics related to cyber forensics and threat investigations are invited, with special emphasis on novel techniques and tools to collect data from networked devices and services in emerging networks (such as the ones that can be found in cyber-physical systems and the Internet of Things).

The CSR CFATI workshop will accept high-quality research papers presenting strong theoretical contributions, applied research and innovation results obtained from funded cyber-security and resilience projects, and industrial papers that promote contributions to technology development and contemporary implementations.

Submitted manuscripts should not exceed 6 pages (plus 2 extra pages, being subject to overlength page charges) and should be of sufficient detail to be evaluated by expert reviewers in the field.

The guidelines for authors, manuscript preparation guidelines, and policies of the IEEE CSR conference apply to the CFATI 2024 workshop. Please visit the authors’ instructions page for more details. When submitting your manuscript via the conference management system , please make sure that the workshop’s track -- 2T2 CFATI-- is selected in the Topic Areas drop-down list.

Important dates:
  • Paper Submission Deadline: June 3, 2024 AOE

  • Authors Notifications: July 3, 2024 AOE

  • Camera Ready submission: July 14, 2024 AOE

  • Early registration deadline: July 20, 2024 AOE

  • Workshop dates: September 2-4, 2024


The workshop is supporting :
  • Best Open-Source Tool prize, which will be presented in a paper during our workshop. The prize, valued at 300 euros,  is being financed by one of our collaborators from the industry.

  • An additional industry collaborator is sponsoring the prestigious Best Paper award, which includes a one-year free license to utilize renowned digital forensics software.
