The third edition of IFOSS will aim to provide both an objective and clear overview and an in-depth analysis of the state-of-the-art research as well as the professional best practices in Forensics and related fields. The courses will be delivered by world renowned experts, from either academia, law enforcement and industry, and will cover both theoretical and practical aspects of real Forensics problems. Leading scientists from the different fields involved will introduce the topics. A typical course is broad enough to provide a general introduction to the chosen topic, whilst one can learn the most relevant contributions in depth. The school will aim to provide a stimulating opportunity for professionals and young researchers, as well as Ph.D. students.
After the big success of the first two editions with about 50 attendees from all over the world, also this year we will focus on Digital Forensics and Law with specific emphasis on the AI revolution. In the following the related recap videos:
