Eleventh Annual DFRWS Conference

Welcome to the proceedings of the Eleventh Annual DFRWS Conference (DFRWS’11) held in New Orleans on August 1e3, 2011. This is a return to the site of the 2005 conference; it is certainly worthy of a second visit. This is also is the first DFRWS conference in association with the Association for Computing Machinery. We anticipate that this partnership will broaden participation in future DFRWS conferences. This year we had a record number of 62 submitted papers, of which 14 were accepted into the conference program (22.5% acceptance rate). The technical program committee worked harder than ever to come up with a strong program that will provide insight into current research challenges and drive discussion at the conference. Those who attend the conference in person will find that the program has much more to offer than technical papers alone. We balance the program with keynote presentations, panel discussions, informal discussions during the poster/ demo presentations, the forensic challenge, and social events including the hands-on rodeo. In the mean time, we are already preparing for DFRWS’12. This conference will be held in downtown Washington, DC, where we hope to meet many attendees again. Finally, we thank you, the reader, for your continued interest in DFRWS. Wietse Venema, Proceedings chair.
