Team formation in digital forensics

A major problem in Digital Forensics (DF) is the often huge volumes of data that has to be searched, filtered, and indexed to discover patterns that could lead to forensic evidence. The nature of, and the process by which the data was collected also means that the data contain information about persons that are not involved, or only incidentally involved in the crime under investigation. Privacy is therefore another potential issue that needs to be dealt with in a DF investigation. This paper shows that techniques of the Team Formation (TF) task can be used to address both of these problems.
