Call for Papers
The Biometrics Symposium provides a forum for the dissemination and exchange of basic and applied scholarly research leading to applications of biometrics to human identification and verification. The intent of the Symposium is to stimulate and foster research in biometrics and build a bridge between basic research and operational realization of biometrics with respect to:
* Operationally Relevant Technologies (e.g., face, fingerprint, iris, voice, gait, hand/palm, other novel biometrics, multibiometrics, protecting biometric databases, etc.)
* Measures of Effectiveness (e.g., performance analysis/prediction, testing techniques, statistical basis, individuality, etc.)
* Countermeasures and Spoofing (e.g., liveness detection, biometric encryption, template security, cancellable biometrics, etc.)
* Societal and Political Implications (e.g., privacy and civil liberties, societal perceptions, data sensitivity, international perceptions, etc.)
The objective of the Symposium is to bring together researchers working in the convergence of disciplines defining biometric research, and to encourage the growth of the biometric research culture conducive to long-range research supporting the field.
Prospective authors are invited to submit papers reflecting original, unpublished work in the field. Papers should not exceed 6 pages including results, figures and references. LATeX and WORD templates are available below. All submissions will be subjected to a double-blind review procedure. The CD-ROM proceedings of accepted papers will be made available at the symposium. Accepted papers will be uploaded into IEEE Xplore.
Important Dates:
May 15, 2006: Submission of a 6-page paper strictly adhering to format and content guidelines.
July 15, 2006: Notification of acceptance for oral or poster presentation.
August 1, 2006: Submission of final paper along with personal information.
