MFSec 2017, organized in conjunction with ICMR 2017, focuses on Multimedia Forensics and Security, especially as applied on Web and social media. While the disciplines of Forensics and Security continue to advance in all areas of application, the Workshop aims to draw attention to the additional challenges posed by Web and social media environments, and to the novel ways that the additional opportunities presented can be harnessed. The goal of MFSec 2017 is three-fold: First, the workshop aims at presenting cutting-edge forensic and security methods aimed at Web and social media applications. Second, it aspires to bring together key individuals from the research and professional communities, from the fields of security, forensics, and multimedia analysis and retrieval, to exchange ideas and experiences and shape the directions of the field for the future. Third, the workshop intends to evaluate the level maturity of the field, identify the current strengths and weaknesses, and encourage progress towards novel solutions to the particular challenges posed by Web and social media environments.
Authors are encouraged to submit and present a short (4-pages plus citations) paper presenting novel contributions on a topic relevant to the Workshop. Topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to:
- Crime and terrorism detection from Web and social media
