We are organizing a special session on "Advances and challenges in face and gesture based security systems (ACFGSS 2020)" in conjunction with the 15th IEEE Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition (FG'20) to be held 18-22 May in Buenos Aires, Argentina. For details see https://fg2020.org/advances-and-challenges-in-face-and-gesture-based-security-systems-acfgss-2020/.

Papers accepted for the special session will appear in the conference proceedings.

Submission deadline: 10. December 2019

Paper notification: 15. January 2020

Final camera-ready papers: 28. February 2020
