Security and Forensics and LJMU
The 1st conference on Advances in Computer Security and Forensics (ACSF) took place at Liverpool John Moores University on 13th and 14th July 2006. The conference drew a wide-range of participants from the national and international research community as well as current practitioners within the fields of computer security and computer forensics.
Computer security aims to preserve system integrity whilst computer forensics aims to explain the cause for an event or set of events. Computer security is an established field of computer science, whilst forensic computing is an emergent area. Increasingly, computer security will involve forensic investigation techniques, and vice versa, due to the degree of overlap in raw material used by both fields. Therefore, both fields have much to learn from each other. The purpose of this conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners to present and share the latest developments in research and applications in both these fields.
