<br>
In the last decade, research on the automated recognition of
people has evolved to cover a large number of applications. From
the early days, when security was the driving force behind
biometric research, today’s challenges go far beyond security.
Machine learning, Image understanding, Signal analysis,
Neuroscience, Forensic science, and other disciplines, converged
in a truly multidisciplinary effort to devise and build advanced
systems to facilitate the interpretation of signals recorded from
individuals acting in a given environment. This is what we simply
call today “Biometrics”.<br>
<br>
For the last twelve years, the International Summer School on
Biometrics has been closely following the developments in science
and technology to offer a cutting edge, intensive training course,
always in-line with the current state-of-the-art.<br>
What are the most up-to-date core biometric technologies developed
in the field? What is the potential impact of biometrics in
forensic investigation and crime prevention? How can biometrics
cope with mobile applications? What are the most relevant issues
in biometric standardization? What can we learn from human
perception? What does it involve to integrate a biometric
recognition system?<br>
<br>
This school follows the successful track of the International
Summer Schools on Biometrics held since 2003. In this 12th
edition, the courses will mainly focus on new and emerging issues:<br>
<br>
• How Biometrics will cope with the demand for mobile
applications;<br>
• How to exploit new biometric technologies in forensic and
security applications;<br>
• Standardization, evaluation and assessment of biometric
applications.<br>
• Biometrics technologies and advanced research: What is next?<br>
<br>
The courses will provide a clear and in-depth picture on the
state-of-the-art in biometric verification/identification
technology, both under the theoretical and scientific point of
view as well as in diverse application domains. The lectures will
be given by 18 outstanding experts in the field, from both
academia and industry. An advanced feature of this summer school
will be some practical sessions to better understand, “hands on”,
the real potential of today’s biometric technologies.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Participant application</b><br>
<br>
The school will be open to about 50 highly qualified, motivated
and pre-selected applicants. Phd students, post-docs, researchers,
police officers and professionals are encouraged to apply. The
lectures will be given by 18 outstanding experts in the field,
from both academia and industry.<br>
The expected school fees will be in the order of 1,500 € for Phd
students and 2,000 € for others (subject to change). The fees will
include full board accommodation, all courses and handling
material. A limited number of scholarships, covering a portion of
the fees, will be awarded to Phd students, selected on the basis
of their scientific background and on-going research work.
Precedence will be given to members of the COST Action IC1106, and
active members of IAPR<br>
and IEEE. The scholarship request form can be downloaded from the
school web site <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://biometrics.uniss.it">http://biometrics.uniss.it</a>.<br>
Phd students, researchers and post-docs are encouraged to submit a
short paper (6 pages maximum) on their recent research activity.
Selected, unpublished papers may be published, either in an edited
book, or in a journal special issue.<br>
Poster boards will be also available to all participants to
display their current research topics.<br>
<br>

<b>Advance pre-registration is strictly required by all applicants
by February 15th 2015.</b><br>
<br>
<b>School location</b><br>
<br>
The school will be hosted by Hotel El Faro (<a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.elfarohotel.it/">http://www.elfarohotel.it/</a>)
in the Capo Caccia bay near Alghero, Sardinia, one of the most
beautiful resorts in the Mediterranean sea. The hotel El Faro has
a recently renovated conference center, fully equipped for
scientific events. The structure is beautifully immersed into the
Capo Caccia bay. The entire structure, as well as the
surroundings, proved to be a perfect environment for the school
activities.<br>
