Abstract

Fighting cybercrime is an international engagement. Therefore, the understanding and cooperation of legal, organizational and technological affairs across countries become an important issue. Many difficulties exist over this international cooperation and the very first one is the accessing and sharing of related information. Since there are no standards or unification over these affairs across countries, the related information which is dynamically changing and separately stored in free text format is hard to manage. In this study, we have developed a method and information retrieval (IR) system to relieve the difficulty. Techniques of vector space model, genetic algorithm (GA), relevance feedback and document clustering have been applied.
