WS5: Computer and Network Forensic: A Systematic Incident Response Methodology

 

Scope and Topics:

Computer and networks are involved in all the disciplines and activities and have been used in a variety applications dealing with communications, intellectual property, on-line shopping, business transactions, travel plans, project management, outreach programs, on-line degree programs, e-commerce, and many others. Different types of upcoming communication devices like Cell phones, Personal Digital Assistants (PDA), Wireless connectivity, Sensor networks connectivity use computers and the ubiquitous Internet.

Many incidents not traditionally thought of as computer crime involve computer investigations. Instead computers can provide clues to the locations and potential activities that may help the investigation agency to answer the questions as to Who, where, when, how and what.

How can relevant information be obtained from computers to support criminal, civil, or disciplinary actions? Who is involved? What happened? How did it happen? Who is responsible for obtaining the information? What are the roles of law enforcement system administrators, legal counsel, and business managers?

Computer Forensics is the name for a newly emerging field of study and practice that incorporates many areas of concern. Some of these areas have been previously or currently known as network security, intrusion detection, incident response, infrastructure protection, disaster recovery, continuity planning, software engineering, cyber security, and computer crime investigation. It is recognized as an academic field of study by Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT), National Security Agency (NSA), and Storage Area Network (SAN) that has a practice equivalent in the form of A+ and/or CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) certification. It is an area of practice in public law enforcement at the federal and state level (Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and State Bureau of Investigation (SBI), e.g.) that deals primarily with cyber crime, cyber predators, and cyber terrorism. In the private sector, it deals with critical infrastructure, such as business, hospitals, utilities, transportation, finance, education, and other key institutions.

To provide a definition, computer forensics is the use of procedure-centric approaches to the study of cyber-attack prevention, planning, detection, and response with the goals of counteracting and conquering hacker attacks by logging malicious activity and gathering court-admissible chains-of-evidence using various forensic tools that reconstruct criminally liable actions at the physical and logical levels.

In this workshop, we will discuss a process to investigate computer incidents along with the technical steps necessary to identify, investigate and resolve a variety of computer incidents. Incidents requiring computer investigative skills may be direct computer crime, or they may involve situations unrelated to hacking. It is hope this workshop will prepare the computer investigator with a process, tools, and techniques to successfully investigate and resolve a variety of incidents.

Following topics will be discussed but are not limited to:

•  Incident response process and strategy
•  Performing traditional investigation steps
•  Creation of response of toolkit
•  Performing In-depth live response
•  Forensics duplication tools
•  Networking monitoring
•  Performing a trap-and-trace monitoring
•  Data analysis
•  Recovery tools deleted files, unallocated space, free space
•  Analysis of network traffic
•  Investigating hacker tools
•  Investigating routers
•  Case studies

WS7: 2009 International Workshop on Business Intelligence for Emerging e-Business Applications (BieeBa)

 

Scope

Business Intelligence (BI) is a concept of applying a set of technologies to convert data into meaningful information. They include information retrieval, data mining, statistical and numerical analysis and data visualization. Large amounts of data originating in many different formats and from different sources can be consolidated and presented to key business analysts. Traditionally, BI is implemented as standalone decision-support systems that provide timely, intelligent information probably in some form of reports, for enabling the business analysts or managers to formulate business strategies.

In recent years, BI and e-Business Applications have been developed as independent research fields which has received considerable amount of attention. The main challenges now are how BI can be smoothly fused into an e-Business application as a part of the business process. One of the main advantages of integrating BI into e-Business applications is to facilitate automation and decision making capabilities with real-time knowledge by software agents.

When the two trends couple, new emerging models of e-Business applications become possible; Examples are creating new kinds of e-Business services such as agent-mediated B2B e-Commerce, intelligent B2C recommender, smart online service, and knowledge-driven customer relationship management.

This workshop is specifically aimed at bringing together members of two research communities: those focused on e-Business applications, particularly the emerging applications that BI might support, and those who work closely with business intelligence. While previous international IT conferences have hosted workshops on these individual topics, there has not yet been a workshop designed to facilitate discussion across the two areas, and to consider new technical possibilities as well as opportunities - new ways of doing business that were not possible in the past.

The Goal:
The goal of this workshop is to bring together members of research communities of the business intelligence and e-business applications to consider the current state of the two fields, and identify technical possibilities and opportunities of new models, in the interaction between the two areas.

Topics:
The workshop brings together researchers who are actively involved in areas of interest to Business Intelligence and e-Business Applications, to report on up-to-date research outcomes and to exchange ideas and visions for future research. Key areas that the workshop aims to address include but not limited to the following:

•  Innovative e-Business models
•  Advances on business intelligence
•  Competitive intelligence
•  Web intelligence
•  Emergent e-Business applications
•  Ubiquitous/Pervasive Computing
•  Workflow and business process management for e-Business
•  Web 2.0 & social networking
•  Knowledge management
•  Web information retrieval
•  Web/Data mining
•  Web services
•  Customer relationship management
•  Collaborative filtering / recommenders
•  Information technology for e-Business applications and systems
