Publication Criteria

Research papers must be original contributions, not substantially duplicate previous work, and must not be under simultaneous publication review elsewhere. The review process will be "double-blind" (the reviewers will not know who the authors are, and the authors will not know who the reviewers are). Therefore, the version submitted for review should not contain the names or affiliations of the authors. When referring to their own previous work, authors should use the third person instead of the first person (i.e. "Smith and Jones [2] previously determined..." instead of "We [2] previously determined..").

Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 10 single-spaced, two-column pages with 1 inch margins and 10pt font. Authors will be given 30 minutes to present their paper.

Panel proposals should be one to three pages and clearly describe the topic, its relevance and a list of potential panelists and their biographies. Panels will be evaluated based on the topic relevance and diversity of the panelists.

Proposals for workshops should be one to three pages and describe the topic, the intended audience, what materials will be provided to participants, and any hardware and software requirements.

Proposals for demonstrations of proof of concept and research-based tools are also welcome. Proposals should describe the tool, its relevance to the forensics field and space/equipment needs (e.g., power, networking, etc.).

Authors are expected to present their work in person at the conference. At least one registration per paper is required in order to be included in the proceedings. Authors shall register for the conference prior to submitting their final draft for publication.

Submissions

Submission instructions for papers, panels, demos, workshops and WiPs (work in progress session) will be posted at the DFRWS web site at http://www.dfrws.org/2010/

Student Scholarship Program

A limited number of scholarships may be awarded to students presenting a paper at the conference. The intent is to help alleviate the financial burden due to the cost of hotel expenses and conference registration. Full details are posted on the DFRWS 2010 conference website: http://www.dfrws.org/2010/.
