[APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING] CALL FOR PAPERS 15th International Workshop on Cyber Crime (IWCC 2026 - https://www.ares-conference.eu/iwcc) to be held in conjunction with the International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES 2026 - https://www.ares-conference.eu/) in Linköping, Sweden, August 24-27, 2026 IMPORTANT DATES Submission Deadline May 11, 2026 Author Notification May 29, 2026 Proceedings Version June 19, 2026 Conference August 24-27, 2026 WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION Societies in today's world are becoming increasingly dependent on online services, where commercial activities, business transactions, government services, and biomedical diagnostics are carried out. This tendency has been evident during the recent COVID-19 pandemic. These developments, along with the growing number of military conflicts worldwide, have led to the fast development of new cyber threats and numerous information security issues exploited by cybercriminals. The inability to provide trusted, secure services in contemporary computer networks has a significant socio-economic impact on global enterprises and individuals. Moreover, the frequent occurrence of international fraud necessitates investigations spanning multiple domains and countries. Such examination is often subject to different jurisdictions and legal systems. A good illustration of the above is the Internet, which has made it easier to prepare and perpetrate traditional - but now cyber-enabled - crimes. It has served as an alternative avenue for criminals to conduct their activities and launch attacks with relative anonymity, high deniability, and the opportunity to operate in a border-agnostic environment. Worrying developments in the abuse of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies have increased the capabilities of malign actors who leverage these tools to design and propagate disinformation, which is especially dangerous (and effective) during emergencies and crises of all kinds. The developments in Generative Artificial Intelligence have also enabled the increase of criminal capabilities in the production, dissemination, and weaponization of high-quality, convincing fake content (text, audio, images, and videos), which translates not only to the truth and trust decay among the affected societies but also to the enhanced capabilities in orchestrating the sophisticated cyber crimes. Furthermore, nowadays, the majority of life-science-based techniques and resulting data hinge on information technologies. Despite their considerable advantages, dependence on cyber technologies also exposes vulnerabilities. Various threats in the digital realm could target biomedical systems, leading to adverse consequences. The field of CyberBioSecurity was established to assist bio-related sciences in comprehending potential cyber threats and formulating defense approaches, recovery protocols, and resilience strategies. The increased complexity of communications and the networking infrastructure is making the investigation of these new types of crimes difficult. Traces of illegal digital activity are difficult to analyze due to the large volume of data. Nowadays, the digital crime scene operates like any other network, with dedicated administrators serving as first responders. This poses new challenges for law enforcement and intelligence communities and forces computer societies to use digital forensics to combat the growing number of cybercrimes. Forensic professionals must be fully prepared to provide court-admissible evidence. Forensic techniques should keep pace with new technologies to make these goals achievable. Prevention, mitigation, and interdiction of new and emerging threats require an increasingly thorough, multidisciplinary approach. They also require the collaboration of all relevant actors and stakeholders in designing the technology regulation and cyber governance measures. The aim of this workshop is to bring together research outcomes from academia and industry. Another goal is to showcase the latest research findings across a wide range of topics, from digital forensics to cyberbiosecurity. We strongly encourage prospective authors to submit articles presenting both theoretical approaches and practical case reviews, including work-in-progress reports. ARES 2026 (incl. IWCC) proceedings will be published by Springer in Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Authors of accepted IWCC workshop papers are invited to submit an *extended* version of their work (with at least 30% new content) in a Special Issue of the Frontiers in Computer Science journal [Impact Factor: 2.7].
