Call for Papers

The International Workshop on Biometrics and Forensics (IWBF) is organized by COST Action IC1106 – “Integrating Biometrics and Forensics for the Digital Age” and the Cyprus University of Technology. It is an international forum devoted specifically to the development of synergies between the biometrics and forensic science research areas. IWBF provides the meeting place for those concerned with the usage of biometric recognition systems in forensic science applications, attracting participants from industry, research, academia and users.

Topics

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Biometric evidence for forensic evaluation and investigation

• Audiovisual biometrics for multimedia forensics

• Forensic examination and soft biometrics

• Forensic behavioural biometrics

• Biometric analysis of crime scene traces and their forensic interpretation

• Combination of multimodal biometrics with other forensic evidence

• Biometric-based cybercrime investigation

• Biometric and non-biometric data de-identification

• Ethical and societal implications of emerging forensics biometrics

Paper Submission

Prospective authors are invited to submit original and unpublished work, in English, with up to 6 pages (IEEE conference style), including results, figures and references. Submissions will be accepted only in PDF format according to the instructions provided on the web site. Authors of the best papers accepted at the Workshop will be invited to submit an extended and enhanced revision of their paper to be considered for publication in a special journal issue of IET Biometrics. Papers accepted to IWBF2016 will be included in the IEEEXplore Digital Library.
