Extraction of Common Concepts for the Mobile Forensics Domain

With the rapid development of technology, mobile devices have become an essential tool in terms of crime fighting and criminal investigation. However, many mobile forensics investigators face difficulties with the forensics investigation process in their domain. The difficulties are due to the heavy reliance of the forensics field on knowledge as a valuable resource, a resource that is scattered and widely dispersed. Wide dispersion of mobile forensics knowledge not only makes investigation difficult for new investigators, resulting in substantial waste of time, but also leads to confusion in concepts and terminologies of mobile forensics domain. This paper proposes a common concept for the mobile forensics domain based on the concepts extraction process. The proposed concepts contribute to simplifying the investigation process and enables investigation teams to capture and reuse specialized forensic knowledge, thereby reducing the conceptual and terminological confusion in the mobile forensics domain.
