Call for Workshop Proposals
Introduction
The ICDF2C Organizing Committee welcomes workshop proposals for the 16th EAI International Conference on Digital Forensics & Cyber Crime. We encourage submissions that focus on the integration of Artificial Intelligence with Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics. These workshops are designed to advance discussions on AI-driven technologies for enhancing forensic capabilities, improving cybersecurity defenses, and developing proactive threat detection and response strategies. This platform aims to foster interdisciplinary collaborations and explore innovative solutions at the intersection of these critical fields.
Deadline for Workshop Proposals: May 15, 2025
Notification of Proposal Acceptance: May 31, 2025
Proposal Content
- Workshop title;
- Abstract (less than 200 words);
- Name, affiliation, and e-mail address for each organizer;
- Identification of the primary contact person(s);
- Topics and scope: These should align closely or fall within the main conference’s scope;
- Background and Motivation: What is the overall topic of the workshop? Why is this topic of particular interest at this time? If the workshop has been organised in the past at ICDF2C or other conferences, please give details of previous instances (venue, URL) and describe why it should be held again and how it will extend and build upon previous ones;
- Format: Please provide a detailed description of the proposed workshop’s format, specifying the anticipated number of attendees, and outlining the planned activities such as opening remarks, guest lectures, group breakout sessions, and overall discussion periods. Additionally, explain how these activities will contribute to achieving the workshop’s goals;

- Organizers: Give short descriptions of each of the organizers’ background and interests related to pervasive computing and the specific workshop topic.
Workshop selection
We aim to choose a diverse range of workshops and ensure they cover different topics. Selected workshop organizers will need to draft a Call for Papers to inform potential participants and invite submissions. To help increase participation and discussion, EAI will provide one free workshop registration for every 10 papers submitted to their workshop.
The criteria for assessment will include:
- Relevance to conference vision/topics and attendees
- Potential to bring in participants to the conference from different audiences
- The overall quality of contribution
- Provides a hands-on, collaborative, and/or active learning environment for attendees
Workshop Publications and Conditions
The workshop can be of any length from 1 to 4 hours. No additional equipment or software, except for the standard presentation setup (projector/display, power outlets, internet via WiFi) is provided by the organizers. The participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops or other necessary equipment. Accepted and presented papers will be published alongside the main conference proceedings as a sub section/chapter. Paper formats should, therefore, correspond to the templates of the publisher of the main conference
Proposal submission
Workshop proposals should be submitted in a maximum of 4 pages in PDF format, single- spaced. Please email your workshop proposals to the workshop chair via email to [email protected].
