<br>
<b>Motivations: </b><br>
Digital forensic methodologies are widely used in industries to
ensure authentication of multimedia data. Biocybernetics has
emerged as a tool to secure systems from cyber threats via
biometric based processes. Jointly, digital forensics and
biocybernetics can ensure support system for high level security.
The mechanisms of digital forensics and biocybernetic technologies
presently need human expert interference, and cannot perform in
automated way. Thereby these processes cannot be suited for in
large scale industrial need in their present form. Hence a lot of
research has been conducted in this domain during last few years,
mostly all studies yielding sub-optimal solutions, which still
encourages current researchers to conduct further research in this
area. <br>
This special issue solicits original research articles, extensive
reviews, and case studies in the aforementioned field of research.
<br>
<br>
<b>Topics include, but are not limited to:</b> <br>
- Digital Forensic techniques applicable to large scale systems <br>
- Biocybernetic architecture management <br>
- Biosignal processing and biosensing systems <br>
- Brain-human-interface <br>
- Knowledge sharing systems for forensic analysis <br>
- Biocybernetic surveillance in industry <br>
- Anti-pattern search for biocybernetic spoofing <br>
- Biometric technologies for large scale industry <br>
- Industrial biometric data management <br>
- Parallel and distributed processing of forensic data <br>
- Cybercrime detection and mitigation <br>
- Uberveillance technologies for smart industry <br>
- Standards and protocols for industrial forensics <br>
<br>
<b>Important dates: </b><br>
Submission deadline: <b>15 April 2019 </b><br>
First review notification: 1 June 2019 <br>
Revision submission: 1 August 2019 <br>
Second review notification: 1 September 2019 <br>
Final notification to authors: 30 September 2019 <br>
Online publication: October 2019 <br>
<br>
<b>Submission Guidelines: </b><br>
All submissions have to be prepared according to the Guide for
Authors as published in the Journal Web Site at <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.elsevier.com/journals/pattern-recognition-letters/0167-8655/guide-for-authors">http://www.elsevier.com/journals/pattern-recognition-letters/0167-8655/guide-for-authors</a>.<br>
<br>
Submissions should be sent through <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://ees.elsevier.com/prletters/">http://ees.elsevier.com/prletters/</a>.
Authors should select the acronym "VSI:IIDFB-PC" as the article
type, from the "Choose Article Type" pull-down menu during the
submission process. <br>
<br>
The maximal length of a paper is 7 pages in the PRLetters layout
and may become 8 in the revised version if referees explicitly
request significant additions. <br>
<br>
The submitted papers should not have been previously published or
be under consideration for publication elsewhere. If one
submission is the extended work of one conference paper, the
original work should be included and a description of the changes
should be provided. <br>
<br>
The PRLetters submission should include at least 30% new
contribution of high relevance (more experiments, proofs of
theorems not included in the conference paper, more comparisons
with other methods in the literature and so on); and the title of
the PRLetters paper should be different, the same figures cannot
be used and the common part of the conference paper and of the
extended version cannot be verbatim the same. <br>
<br>
<b>Review Process: </b><br>
The review process will follow the standard PRLetters scheme. Each
paper will be reviewed by at least two referees and that, in
general, only two reviewing rounds will be possible, out of which
major revision is possible for the first reviewing round.
Submissions will probably being rejected if major revision is
still required after the second reviewing round. <br>
