Industry & Applications

The Industry & Applications Track

WIFS 2020 seeks to facilitate application-oriented research, exchange of ideas and collaboration between the academic research community and practitioners from the industry, government, NGOs, etc. In this spirit, we introduce the Industry & Applications (I&A) Track which creates a forum for discussion of the current problems / gaps in research, real-world use-cases and collaboration opportunities in the information forensics and security domain.

The presentation format will include a dedicated session (tentative planned for 90 minutes) with:

  • extended abstracts which summarize the main problems, use-cases and collaboration opportunities,

  • dedicated virtual conferencing rooms for each of the I&A partners where they can directly engage with delegates,

  • (optionally) a short pre-recorded video, which summarizes the message to the research community - this may be useful for async consumption and reaching people in different time-zones.

It is a perfect opportunity to connect with the research community and help us drive research with real-world problems and needs!

Submissions

We are accepting submissions for the Industry & Applications (I&A) Track until Nov 13 2020. Please email your extended abstracts to wifs2020+applications [at] gmail [dot] com and use a template provided below. You will receive a decision within a few days of your submission.
