was 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> </p>
