Call for Papers

Biometrics Theory, Applications and Systems (BTAS 09)

The IEEE Third International Conference on Biometrics: Theory,
Applications and Systems (BTAS 09) is the premier research meeting
focused on biometrics. Its broad scope includes advances in
fundamental pattern recognition techniques relevant to biometrics, new
algorithms and / or technologies for biometrics, analysis of specific
applications, and analysis of the social impacts of biometrics
technology. Areas of coverage include biometrics based on voice,
fingerprint, iris, face, handwriting, gait and other modalities, as
well as multi-modal biometrics and new biometrics based on novel
sensing technologies. Submissions will be rigorously reviewed, and
should clearly make the case for a documented improvement over the
existing state of the art. Experimental results for contributions in
established areas such as voice, face, iris, fingerprint, and gait are
encouraged to use the largest and most challenging existing publicly
available datasets. Papers examining the usability of and social
impact of biometrics technology are encouraged.

Paper submission: May 31.
Decisions to authors: July 17.
Final versions: August 15
BTAS 09: September 28--30, 2009.
