Abstract

The International Federation on Information Processing Working Group on Digital Forensics (IFIP WG 11.9) is an international body comprised of primarily researchers and educators in the field of digital forensics. It is my privilege to be the chair of this group and we recently held our fifth annual meeting in Orlando, Florida, that was attended by a broad representation from at least eight countries. The program committee did a great job at recruiting good papers and presentations, one of which I would like to share with our readers. In a field that evolves as quickly as this one, it is important from time to time to stop and look at how we are doing. To that end, Dr. Nicole Beebe from the University of Texas at San Antonio was asked to put together a presentation that would examine what we are doing well in the field, what needs work, and what is lacking in attention. Though Dr. Beebe is an expert in her own right-a college professor, an investigator and forensic examiner in both the public and private sector-she did what the best academics do and she sought the opinions of as many experts as she had time to contact. And what a list it was. It included over two dozen names that are acknowledged "players" in this field. She interviewed each one and synthesized their collective wisdom in a thirty-minute presentation. What follows is a summary of her presentation. © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
