The first Digital Forensic Research Workshop was held in August 2001. The vision was to bring together researchers, practitioners, industry, academics, law enforcement, and military with the goal of opening lines of communication. The result of this inaugural event was the technical report “A Road Map for Digital Forensic Research” that is frequently referenced as a foundational framework for the domain.
Since then, an annual conference has been held in various cities around the United States and Europe to present and discuss current and emerging challenges in digital forensic science.
