SenSys 2007 Call For Demo and Poster
==========================================
CALL FOR POSTERS

Posters showing exciting early work on sensor systems are solicited.
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 .....

  ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review Special Issue on Computer Forensics
  e.huebner at 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.
