This month had a wide variety of tasks from casework to administrative tasks. A short vacation and some more work on writing project proposals as well as working on several methods. Just looking to new developments on big data and using real time processing with Hadoop . Of course when talking about big data, privacy issues should also be mentioned. Currently we are working on a call for papers on big data and intelligent data analysis in the journal Digital Investigation.The IEEE Spectrum magazine even has written an article on the collapse of internet privacy.,
Also busy with reviewing best practice guides for ENFSI on Digital Imaging and on Forensic IT. Interesting discussions on validating software in ISO 17025 and testing the software.
New developments for me are that I am appointed per September 1st for one day a week as professor at the University of Amsterdam in Forensic Data Sciences by special appointment at the Informatics Institute. Also I am honored to be nominated as vice president at the American Academy of Forensic Science.
The next DFRWS-EU conference will be held in Dublin from 23 to 26 March 2015, so the call for papers is ready now.
