**************************************************************************

The 2020 International Joint Conference on Biometrics (IJCB 2020)
combines two major biometrics research conferences, the Biometrics
Theory, Applications and Systems (BTAS) conference and the
International Conference on Biometrics (ICB). The blending of these
two conferences in 2020 is through a special agreement between the
IEEE Biometrics Council and the IAPR TC-4, and should present an
exciting event for the entire worldwide biometrics research community.
