Call For Papers

Due to the increasing quest for high throughput and objective analysis in the forensic sciences, there is an increasing awareness of the importance of computational methods in security applications and criminal investigations. This technical session serves as a platform for researchers in computer and forensic sciences to discuss current challenges in forensic investigation and to present latest research results on methods and applications in computational forensics. The scope of this session is on the broad spectrum of forensic disciplines that use automated computer tools for criminal investigation, such as pathology, biology, drugs, prints, ballistics and anthropology among others.

The topics of interest for submission include, but are not limited to:

Algorithms: Filtering, Image and Data Representation, Image Registration, Super resolution, 3-D Modeling, Feature Extraction, Data Mining, Search Techniques, Machine Learning and Statistical Data Analysis.

Applications: Anthropology, Ballistics, Biometrics, Digital Computer Forensics, Fiber Analysis, Fire Debris, Crime Scence Reconstruction, Incidence Response, Pathology, Prints, Questioned Documents, Tire Impressions, Tool marks, Trace, Shoeprints, Vehicles.


Deadline: 16th March 2008 (extended Deadline)
