Areas of interest are the same as those listed in the technical call for papers. While the poster need not describe completed work, it should report on research for which at least preliminary results are available. The poster session will provide a forum for researchers to showcase their work and obtain feedback on ongoing research from knowledgeable conference attendees. Areas of interest are the same as those listed in the technical call for papers. While the poster need not describe completed work, it should report on research for which at least preliminary results are available. We especially encourage submissions by students (that is, for which a student is the first author on the poster). POSTER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Poster proposals must be submitted as a single PDF file with no more than 3 pages. The first two pages should contain an abstract describing the ..... http://www.it.usyd.edu.au/~it-announce/news.htm#auconf.txt1 ====================================================================== Call For Paper of The Australasian Data Mining Conference (AusDM2007) lbcao@it.uts.edu.au Call For Papers AusDM 2007 The Australasian Data Mining Conference Monday 3rd and Tuesday 4th December Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia Conference Website: http://ausdm07.togaware.com/ Co-located with the 20th Australian Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AI07) (http://www.cit.gu.edu.au/conferences/austai/) Submissions due: Tuesday 31st July 2007 Data mining, the art and science of intelligent analysis of (usually ..... http://www.it.usyd.edu.au/~it-announce/news.htm#auconf.txt2 ====================================================================== PDCAT'07 call for student posters brad@cs.adelaide.edu.au --------------------------------------------------------------------- PDCAT'07 Call for Student Posters (3-6.12.2007, Adelaide, Australia) ===================================================================== The Eight International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing, Applications and Technologies (PDCAT) December 3-6, 2007, Adelaide, South Australia Co-sponsored by IEEE http://www.cs.adelaide.edu.au/pdcat07/?section=cfp&subsection=poster Submission deadline: July 23, 2007 --------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR STUDENT POSTERS The International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing, Applications and Technologies (PDCAT) is a major forum for scientists, engineers, and practitioners throughout the world to present the latest ..... http://www.it.usyd.edu.au/~it-announce/news.htm#auconf.txt3 ====================================================================== International Conference Announcements ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review Special Issue on Computer Forensics e.huebner@scm.uws.edu.au Computer forensics, an emerging discipline in computer science, originally dealt with the recovery and analysis of data from computer systems, primarily for use in criminal proceedings. It is increasingly recognised that even the strongest security measures may not prevent successful attacks on computer systems, or prevent use of a system to perpetrate illegal activities on another system. Therefore any computer system may eventually become the subject of forensic analysis, after it was either used as the tool in perpetration of criminal activity or as the victim of that activity. Additionally, volatile data is increasingly recognised as having crucial importance as a supplement to the data on permanent storage (e.g. disk devices) that has been the subject of conventional forensic analysis. Accordingly, new generation computer forensics has progressed to the analysis of live (still executing) systems, and memory forensics. Clearly these two areas are strongly influenced by the design and implementation of the system's underlying operating system.
