   is	
  
organized	
   by	
   the	
   Multimedia	
   Signal	
   Processing	
   Technical	
   Committee	
   of

   forensics	
   to	
   share	
  
their	
  latest	
  achievements	
  and	
  explore	
  future	
  directions	
  and	
  synergies	
  in	
  these	
  exciting	
  areas.	
  
Papers	
   are	
   solicited	
   in	
   (but	
   not	
   limited	
   to)

Authors	
  are	
  invited	
  to	
  submit	
  a	
  2--‐4
