Towards adapting metamodeling approach for the mobile forensics investigation domain

Abstract

Mobile phones have become quite important tools in the modern world. The forensics field heavily relies on knowledge as an important resource. Due to the ongoing changes in digital technology, the power of knowledge enables innovation and assists in establishing proper standards and procedures. As such, it is necessary to establish a relationship between the information derived from knowledge to form new concepts and ideas. Knowledge in mobile forensics is scattered and huge. Hence, this leads to lack of knowledge management in mobile forensics. In addition, lead to complexity of investigation for new investigators, ambiguity in concepts and terminologies of mobile forensics domain and waste time to understand mobile forensics domain. Therefore, mobile forensics investigators are quite suffering with forensics investigation processes in their domain. This paper will develop a new approach for mobile forensics domain which is based on metamodeling. This approach contributes to unify common concepts of mobile forensics. It also provides many benefits which include simplifying the investigation process and guide investigations team, capture and reuse specialized forensic knowledge and support training and knowledge management activities. Furthermore, it reduces complexity and ambiguity in mobile forensic domai Towards Adapting Metamodeling approach for the Mobile Forensics Investigation Domain.
