A key driving factor for biometrics is the widespread national and international deployment of biometric systems that has been initiated in the past two years and is about to accelerate. While nearly all current biometric deployments are government-led and principally concerned with national security and border control scenarios it is now apparent that the widespread availability of biometrics in everyday life will also spin out an ever increasing number of (private) applications in other domains. Crucial to this vision is the management of the user´s identity, which does not only imply the creation and update of a biometric template, but requires the development of instruments to properly handle all the data and operations related to the user identity.

The workshop will include keynote speeches by renowned scientists covering various aspects of the state of the art, and a number of oral sessions covering the contributed papers.

BIOID 2008 is arranged by EU COST Action 2101 and takes place at Roskilde University close to Copenhagen, Denmark, and less than one hour from Copenhagen Airport.
