The IFIP Working Group 11.9 on Digital Forensics (www.ifip119.org) is an active international community of scientists,
engineers and practitioners dedicated to advancing the state of the art of research and practice in digital forensics. The
Tenth Annual IFIP WG 11.9 International Conference on Digital Forensics will provide a forum for presenting original,
unpublished research results and innovative ideas related to the extraction, analysis and preservation of all forms of
electronic evidence. Papers and panel proposals are solicited. All submissions will be refereed by a program committee
comprising members of the Working Group. Papers and panel submissions will be selected based on their technical merit
and relevance to IFIP WG 11.9. The conference will be limited to approximately sixty participants to facilitate interactions
between researchers and intense discussions of critical research issues. Keynote presentations, revised papers and details of
panel discussions will be published as an edited volume – the tenth in the series entitled Research Advances in Digital
Forensics (Springer) in the summer of 2014. Revised and/or extended versions of selected papers from the conference will
be published in special issues of one or more international journals.
Technical papers are solicited in all areas related to the theory and practice of digital forensics. Areas of special interest
include, but are not limited to:
 Theories, techniques and tools for extracting, analyzing and preserving digital evidence
 Network and cloud forensics
 Embedded device forensics
 Digital forensic processes and workflow models
 Digital forensic case studies
 Legal, ethical and policy issues related to digital forensics
Instructions for Authors
Technical Papers: All technical paper submissions (in .pdf format) should be submitted using the EasyChair System
(www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?timeout=1;conf=ifipwg1192014). Manuscripts should be in English and not longer
than 20 pages (typed double-spaced format in a 12-point font) or equivalent. Each submission should have a cover page

list of keywords. Please contact the program co-chair (Gilbert.Peterson[at]afit.edu) in case of questions and clarifications.
Panels: Proposals for panels (in .pdf format) should be emailed to the program co-chair (sujeet[at]utulsa.edu). Panel
proposals should include a one-page description of the topic, along with the name and address (including e-mail address) of
the organizer, and a list of proposed panelists.
