WORKSHOP SCOPE
A key driving factor for biometrics is the widespread national and international deployment of biometric systems that has been initiated in the past two years and is about to accelerate. While nearly all current biometric deployments are government-led and principally concerned with national security and border control scenarios it is now apparent that the widespread availability of biometrics in everyday life will also spin out an ever increasing number of (private) applications in other domains. Crucial to this vision is the management of the user’s identity, which does not only imply the creation and update of a biometric template, but requires the development of instruments to properly handle all the data and operations related to the user identity.

PAPER SUBMISSION
Prospective authors are invited to submit original and unpublished work. Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 4 pages in IEEE proceedings style. All submissions will be handled electronically.
Authors should submit a PDF file to the workshop e-mail address bioid2008@ruc.dk . Submission implies that at least one of the authors will register and present the paper. Accepted papers will appear in the workshops proceedings.

The authors of the best papers from the workshop will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers for consideration in the IEE Proceedings – Vision, Image and Signal Processing. The final decision in each case will be based on the review of the extended manuscript.

IMPORTANT DATES
Paper submission deadline: 1 February 2008
