Cyber Science, Biometrics and Digital Forensics: Workshop on Emerging Cyber Techniques and Technologies

Abstract : A workshop in Emerging Cyber Techniques and Technologies was held at Florida International University's College of Engineering and Computing through the School of Computing and Information Sciences on November 20, 2015 to explore the Theme of Cyberscience, Biometrics, and Digital Forensics. Through this one-day workshop, over fifteen feature presentations were made and the group held two Panels to discuss Cyberscience for the next decade, and Security Constraints in cyber science. Researchers from over seventeen different universities and other organizations throughout the United States were represented. Following the formal Workshop, several groups of researchers convened to continue discussions and to develop pathways forward in resolving challenges presented by the research groups. Many of these groups continued throughout the year, resulting in several significant collaborations, and subsequent research proposals for Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security in the areas of digital forensics, biometrics, digital signature science, and the newly emerging area known as Identity Science. This report contains the Workshop Proceedings with a Summary of the workshop presentations.
