APWG and IEEE Send Out Call For Papers for the Fourth Annual 2009 eCrime Researchers Summit

The APWG and IEEE are inviting papers and research from electronic crime researchers for the fourth annual eCrime Researchers Summit (eCRS), the world’s only peer-reviewed research conference dedicated to electronic crime research, scheduled to be held in Tacoma, WA on October 20 and 21 this year, in collaboration with the University of Washington, Tacoma.

eCRS Chair Randal Vaughn said, “eCRS, which was founded four years ago by APWG and which marks its second year of IEEE Standards Group technical sponsorship, offers a unique opportunity for those in the academic, commercial, and government communities to collaborate towards improving each other’s abilities to understand and counter the forces behind electronic crime.”

 

Research papers are invited within a wide variety topic spaces joined by the common theme of investigating the criminological aspects of electronic security, including phishing, rogue anti-virus programs, crimeware, click-fraud, botnets, delivery techniques, detection avoidance, user interface design as well as forensic subjects such as electronic evidence handling.
