Agent-based forensic investigations with an integrated framework. (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Buchanan, W. J., Graves, J., Saliou, L., Sebea, A. L., & Migas, N. (2005). Agent-based forensic investigations with an integrated framework.

Forensics investigations can be flawed for many reasons, such as that they can lack any real evidence of an incident. Also, it can be the case that the legal rights of an individual has been breached, or that the steps taken in the investigation cann...
