It does not happen often that a master thesis becomes a conference paper, but it does happen. Marjan Khatir, an EMIS student, has got her paper “How to Find Exculpatory and Inculpatory Evidence Using a Circular Digital Forensics Process Model” accepted at the 4th International Conference on Global E-Security. Congratulations, Marjan!

Abstract
With raising the number of cyber crimes, the need of having a proper digital forensic process also increases. Although digital forensics is practiced in recent years, there is still a big gap between previously suggested digital forensics processes and what is really needed to be done in real cases. Some problems with current processes are lack of flexible transition between phases, not having a clear method or a complete scenario for addressing reliable evidence, and not paying enough attention to management aspects and team roles. This paper provides a process model by paying special attention to the team roles and management aspects as well as both exculpatory and inculpatory evidence.

People sitting in front of their computers expect quick
solutions. People browsing a website expect quick answers to their questions.

Today there exist two main application areas for automated
question answering – open domain corpus-based question answering systems which
aim primarily at fact extraction from the web, and small scale closed domain question
answering systems used on individual websites. While the large scale systems draw most of the researchers’ attention, the small scale systems are readily available. The research at DSV has resulted
in real-life question-answering applications such as Web4Health
(English, Swedish, German) and “ask
directly” at Trygg-Hansa (Swedish).

Automated e-mail answering is still a vaguely explored area,
perhaps because people do not imagine that a large number of e-mails to a
customer service repeatedly request the same information and actions. The
research at DSV has lead to a possibly first real life e-mail answering service,
available from a customer
service page but difficult to demonstrate.
