The Biometrics Symposium provides a 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 with respect to:

o Technologies

o Measures of Effectiveness

o Societal and Political Implications

o Countermeasures and Spoofing

o Economics and Workforce

o K-12 Outreach

The objective of the Symposium is to bring together researchers working in the convergence of disciplines defining biometric research, and to encourage the growth of the biometric research culture conducive to long-range research supporting the field of biometrics. The Symposium will feature poster sessions and selected orally presented papers, plenary lectures, and panel discussions including Federal government sponsors. The abstracts will be published on the Internet. Limited financial support is available to students and junior faculty on a case-by-case basis as determined by the Program Committee Chairs.
