Models of Models: Digital Forensics and Domain-Specific Languages

There are numerous and diverse digital forensics models for driving digital investigative processes. To encompass these diverse models we argue that there is need for two integrated Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) [5]: a static one and a dynamic one. We attempt to motivate some research directions involving DSLs, digital forensics, and the creation of two descriptive languages for digital forensic models. We discuss both static and dynamic DSLs for static and dynamic forensic modeling, respectively.
