Call for Papers
The Biometrics Symposium provides an international 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 deployment of biometric systems with respect to:
* Operationally relevant technologies (e.g., face, fingerprint, iris, voice, gait, hand/palm, other novel biometrics, multibiometrics, etc.)
* Measures of effectiveness (e.g., performance analysis/prediction, testing techniques, statistical basis, individuality, etc.)
* Security, countermeasures and spoofing (e.g., liveness detection, biometric encryption, template security, cancelable biometrics, etc.)
* Societal, policy and design for acceptance implications (e.g., privacy and civil liberties, societal perceptions, data sensitivity, international perceptions, etc.)
This sixth Symposium continues BSYM's tradition of bringing together academic, industry, and government researchers at the convergence of disciplines defining biometric systems with the biometric practitioners infusing new innovations in next-generation systems. Co-location with the Biometrics Consortium Conference provides a venue unique in the biometrics community to achieve this objective
Prospective authors are invited to submit papers reflecting original, unpublished work in the field.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 will be made available at this website. 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. Symposium papers will be archived and available through IEEE Xplore. Best paper awards will be given to outstanding contributions and recognized as such at the Symposium.
The authors of accepted papers who will be presenting their work will receive a discounted registration rate. Student attendees will also receive a discounted registration rate.
