Biometric
authentication has been studied for more than 40 years. It is one of the
important research areas in information technology since 90¡¦s because of
vast amount of potential applications. This Advanced Study Institute (ASI)
will bring six pioneer world-famous scientists to report the latest development
in biometric authentication. Each scientist will give lectures on the fundamental
concepts, current state-of-the-art and practical system development to open
problems for a specific biometric. Other than the lecture hours, there will
be amble time (such as coffee break and evening poster session) for exchanging
ideas and discussions between students and lecturers.
The
objective of this ASI is to provide a stimulating scientific environment
for students from Hong Kong and mainland China to learn the latest development
on automated biometric authentications, exchange their views and have
chance for in-depth face to face discussions. In other words, the ASI
is to provide an opportunity for students to
-
learn the state-of-the-art theories, techniques, the latest practical
development as well as the future trend on biometrics;
-
present their works and receive comments from the lecturers and other
students during poster sessions. This would then stimulate and trigger
new ideas, and pave way for further collaborations;
-
exchange ideas with lecturers and other students during demonstration,
informal discussions and social program.
