INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Documentation Research & Training Centre 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 COLLOQUIUM-4 Digital Forensics in Preservation of Digital Content ABSTRACT We are living in a digital world where almost two-thirds of the population uses technology to lead their everyday lives. Despite an exponential growth in the amount of digital content that is being created by individuals, there is a lack in preservation of these content and overall the digital archives. Long term preservation of digital archives, which hold a staggering amount of continuously changing variety of data, poses a whole new set of challenges altogether. Since archives serve the purpose of capturing the social memory, archiving will help us in preserving an important part of the present cultural heritage. Digital forensics has always been associated with the world of criminology. But in recent years, digital forensics has slowly emerged as a reliable approach for digital preservation, especially for authenticating, accounting and accessing data from the past. This colloquium discusses the importance of digital preservation and explores a set of tools and techniques, ethical policies and procedures that would help in implementing digital forensics in preservation of digital content. It also gives a peek into what the future holds for preservation of the past, forensically. The rest of this colloquium is organized as follows : TOPIC OF INTEREST SPEAKERS 1. Introduction Alekhya Rajendran 2. Challenges in digital preservation and Akhilesh Ajith Kumar solutions by digital forensics 3. Emerging and open access tools in Hilala Ariyana archival forensics 4. Case studies at Stanford and Subhranshu Bhushan Sahoo Bodleian libraries 5. Legal and ethical dilemmas Aniket Kurane 6. Future vision of archives and forensics Prashant Kumar Sinha Date: 03.06.2015. Time: 2 P.M. Venue: DRTC, ISI Bangalore. All are cordially invited.

How to formulate hypotheses? - What are the most appropriate methods for data collection and the relevant statistical tools / tests for data analysis? How to decide on the appropriate instrument for data collection and how to design one? How to analyze and present data? How to interpret data? - What is technical writing and what are the components of a good technical report / theses? How to present ideas in technical writing? Objectives of the Workshop The workshop aims at answering the questions stated above. The workshop faculty is drawn from a pool of eminent professors who have long and rich experience both as researchers in their own individual capacity and as research supervisors at the Ph.D. level. The workshop methodology will employ case studies to illustrate and explain in addition to lectures supplemented by slides and discussions. Venue of the Workshop: PES University, 100 ft Ring Road, Banashankari, III Stage, Bangalore 560 085 Workshop Fee: Rs. 2000/- for full-time Ph.D. students and Rs. 2500/- for those who are employed; Participants will have to make their own arrangements for accommodation and transport.
