Certified forensic computer examiner
The Certified Forensic Computer Examiner (CFCE) credential was the first certification demonstrating competency in computer forensics in relation to Windows based computers. The CFCE training and certification is conducted by the International Association of Computer Investigative Specialists (IACIS), a non-profit, all-volunteer organization of digital forensic professionals.
History
IACIS was formed and commenced training in 1990. The predecessor to the CFCE was the DOS Processing Certificate (DPC). The CFCE was introduced in 1998, when the training was expanded to include examination of Windows-based computers. The course materials also cover the MAC OSoperating system and its associated file systems, however, the certificate only states proficiency in Windows.
Eligibility
In order to undertake the CFCE certification process, a candidate has to be a member of IACIS. IACIS membership is normally included in the fee to enter the CFCE training or certification process. There are two levels of membership in the organiza

History
In the 1970’s colloid and interface science was actively studied by keen and successful groups operating on a national level, but there was no worldwide organization in this scientific field. Nevertheless, the need was felt for an international umbrella organization, which could secure the organization of recurrent international meetings, promote awareness and developments, support local meetings, codification of symbols, etc. Part of the initiative to come to an international society was taken by the Commission for Surface and Colloid Science of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, the IUPAC. This however, was not an open society: members of this Commission were selected by co-optation. Very well-known scientists in the field had contributed to the commission, including Overbeek, Everett, Mysels, Lyklema and van Olphen. This commission did prepare the codification paper “Definitions, Terminology and Symbols”, which was published in the IUPAC journal Pure & Applied Chemistry (1972, 31, 579). On the o
