Afternoon all,

Registration is now open for the annual TDFCon. For those that aren't familiar, this is a student-led conference at Teesside University which has run for several years now. Final year students will be presenting the findings and results of their dissertations/projects in workshops and poster presentation sessions.

We also have some very interesting and exciting presentations planned from our own staff, including presentations on behavioural computer security, reconstruction of streaming artefacts from within browser cache, and a discussion of the threat posed by unvalidated open redirects.

This year, the theme of the conference is once again "Resilient and Secure Societies", one of Teesside University's grand challenge themes.

For those interested in attending, details regarding registration are at http//www.tdfcon.com/registration.php . The site will be updated further in the coming weeks, with further details on presenters and their topics.

It will cost you no more than £10 to attend (plus accommodation/travel of course, and entry discounts are available for CSoFS members). I'm sure you will agree that this is excellent value for a day's CPD/conference!

Thanks,

Ben

Please don't take this as an offence, it is not intended as one ) , but maybe you could explain the intended topic(s) with a little more clarity, personally after having read this
http//www.tdfcon.com/subjects.html

All of the presentations at TDFCon 2018 are based around the theme of Resilient and Secure Societies. This is one of Teesside University's Research Grand Challenge. It is concerned with understanding and developing novel and effective responses to a complex range of inter-related global processes that create risk and vulnerability and threaten the physical and emotional security of individuals, communities and societies.

I have NO idea whatsoever about what the actual theme is. 😯

It is not that I am not sure whether it may be of interest or not, I simply cannot understand WHAT it is about.

Jaclaz, no offence taken at all!

As per https://gcgh.grandchallenges.org/about , a grand challenge is defined as

a family of initiatives fostering innovation to solve key global health and development problems

In other words they are themes/problems to be tackled in order to make the world a better place.

Teesside University has 5 such grand challenges. They are

Health and wellbeing
Resilient and secure societies
Digital and creative economy
Sustainable Environments
Learning for the 21st century

Within digital forensics, making society safer would seem the obvious place where we can contribute to such a challenge.

All of our students are encouraged to pick dissertation topics which contribute to this theme, with the added guidance that they should be as relevant as possible to real world digital forensics, rather than just of academic concern.

For specific information as to what each presentation will be about, that informatuon will appear in due course on our website.

Hope this makes sense.

Sure it does make sense ) , it is now written/explained in English, accessible to the layman, the previously quoted text

It is concerned with understanding and developing novel and effective responses to a complex range of inter-related global processes that create risk and vulnerability and threaten the physical and emotional security of individuals, communities and societies.

is just some vague mumbo-jumbo to my eyes, anyway IMHO lacking a reference 😉 to a "holistic, multi-disciplinary approach obtainable through the implementation of multi-faceted viewpoints and leveraging on the synergy that may only evolve from a definite set of non-Euclidean, fuzzy observations …"
(and I still have as possible resources to expand on it, AI, the prefix cyber- , quantum computing/cryptography and parallels to the transmigration customs of the people of lost Atlantis) D
