**************************************************************************

The 2020 International Joint Conference on Biometrics (IJCB 2020)
combines two major biometrics research conferences, the Biometrics
Theory, Applications and Systems (BTAS) conference and the International
Conference on Biometrics (ICB). The blending of these two conferences in
2020 is through a special agreement between the IEEE Biometrics Council
and the IAPR TC-4, and should present an exciting event for the entire
worldwide biometrics research community.
