"We've got a team of towering authorities in information security, privacy, and electronic crime to chair and staff our conference committees," said Foy Shiver, APWG Deputy Secretary General and Director of eCrime Researchers Summit Development. "Authors' exposure to these experts' opinions and direction will be of invaluable assistance to their research."

The General Chair of eCrime 2008 is Gary Warner, from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). Mr. Warner is the Director of Research in Computer Forensics at UAB, where he teaches and works to develop tools, techniques, and training to help eCrime investigators.

Program Co-Chairs for this year's conference are Susanne Wetzel of Stevens Institute of Technology and Randy Vaughn of Baylor University.

Randal Vaughn is active in Internet security with special interests in detecting, tracking and countering botnet formation and other eCrime activities. Mr. Vaughn lectures on Internet security, cyber warfare, telecommunications and software development at Baylor University's Hankamer School of Business.

Susanne Wetzel is on the faculty at the Computer Science Department of Stevens Institute of Technology. Her research interests are in security, cryptography and algorithmic number theory. In particular, her research is focused on wireless security, secret sharing, privacy, phishing, authentication, and biometrics.

The eCrime 2008 Steering Committee is comprised of Jean Camp, Indiana University; Dorothy Denning, Naval Postgraduate School; Zulfikar Ramzan, Symantec; John S. Quarterman, InternetPerils, Inc.; and Markus Jakobsson, PARC.

Original papers on all aspects of electronic crime are solicited for submission to eCrime '08. Topics of relevance include but are not limited to:

- Technical, legal, political, social and psychological aspects of fraud and fraud prevention.

- Techniques to assess the risks and yields of attacks and the success rates of countermeasures.

eCrime 2008 General Chair Gary Warner, said, "It's clear that the criminals are working in an organized fashion to develop new technologies to expand their ability to steal our data, identities, and money. The APWG's e-Crimes Researchers Summit exists to develop and encourage the research that will be the best response to that challenge."

Paper submissions are due: June 5, 2008 (midnight, US East Coast time). eCrime 2008, like past conferences, will offer a cash award for the best overall paper and travel awards for those papers accepted for presentation at the event. Conference details for eCrime '08 can be found at http://www.ecrime2008.org/

The APWG established the eCrime Researchers Summit in 2006, responding to the overwhelming number of quality research papers being submitted to its General Members' conferences from university research centers and industrial laboratories. APWG organized the inaugural eCrime Researchers Summit in Orlando with Florida State University, the National Center for Forensic Science at UCF and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and, last year, eCrime 2007 was programmed in collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University's CyLab and the CERT/CC's Software Engineering Institute.
