the driving force behind biometric research, today’s
challenges go far beyond security. Other applications, such
as personalization of services, mobile computing and
criminal investigations, are among the most promising
applications. Machine learning, Image understanding, Signal
analysis, Neuroscience, Forensic science, Digital forensics
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”.</span><!--EndFragment-->
