Call For Papers
SADFE-2016 is concerned with the generation, analysis and
sustainability of digital evidence and evolving t tools and techniques
that are used in this effort. Advancement in this field requires
innovative methods, systems, and practices, which are grounded in
solid research coupled with an understanding of user needs. Digital
forensics at SADFE focuses on the issues introduced by the coupling of
rapidly advancing technologies and increased globalization. We believe
digital forensic engineering is vital to security, the administration
of justice and the evolution of culture.
