Special Issue on Biometric Instrumentation and Measurement
Biometrics is a growing and important applications
area receiving significant interest as a result of the criticality
and the social impact of its applications. In addition, the increasing
worldwide interest in security makes biometrics even more valuable
and desirable, from many perspectives including its theory, technologies,
design methodologies, and applications.
The constituencies that may benefit from this ever growing field
include academia, industry, government, and the general public.
To create a biometric system various issues need to be studied in
a comprehensive and integrated way: from sensing to measurement
procedures, from signal analysis and interpretation to quality assessment,
from feature extraction to classification and analysis, from knowledge
creation to extraction, and much more. Integration and cooperative
combination are other key aspects of biometrics applications.
This special issue is focused on publishing original papers that
address instrumentation and measurement aspects of the design, implementation
and applications of biometrics. The detailed call for papers is
available at http://www.dti.unimi.it/~piuri/pages/TIM-SpecialIssueBiometricIMCFP.pdf
The submission period is February 15 - March 1, 2009. Notification
of final acceptance is expected by June 30, 2009 and publication
in December 2009.
Guest Editors of this special issue are: Fabio Scotti, University
of Milan, Italy; David Zhang, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University,
Hong Kong; Evangelia Micheli-Tzanakou, Rutgers University, USA
Questions about the special issue should be directed to Dr. Fabio
Scotti (fabio.scotti @unimi.it).
IEEE Systems Journal Special Issue on Biometrics
Systems
The increasing needs for security as well as medical
diagnosis make biometrics more and more valuable world-wide, both
as theory, technologies, design methodologies, and applications
are concerned.
To create a biometric system various issues need to be studied in
an integrated way: from sensing to measurement procedures, from
signal analysis and interpretation to quality assessment, from feature
extraction to classification and analysis, from knowledge creation
to extraction, from algorithms to data structure, from computational
complexity to system performance, from system engineering to software
engineering, from privacy to social implications, and much more.
Integration and cooperative combination are another key aspects
if biometrics systems and applications.
This special issue is directed to collect original papers that address
any aspect of the design, implementation and application of biometrics
systems, by focusing on a system-level perspective. The detailed
call for papers is available at http://www.dti.unimi.it/~piuri/pages/ISJ-SpecialIssueBiometricsSystemsCFP.pdf
The submission deadline is January 15, 2009. Acceptance notification
is expected by April 15, 2009 and publication in August 2009.
Guest Editors of this special issue are: Vincenzo Piuri, University
of Milan, Italy; Jie Tian, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China; and
Evangelia Micheli-Tzanakou, Rutgers University, USA.
