AIMS AND SCOPE

The 2021 IEEE International Workshop on Biometrics and Forensics (IWBF 2021)
will be held in Rome, Italy, on May 6-7, 2021. IWBF is an international
forum devoted to facilitating synergies in research and development among
the areas of multimedia forensics, forensic biometrics, and forensic
science. State-of-the-art research in areas such as biometrics, forensic
science, surveillance, and multimedia forensics will be presented. The 9th
edition of IWBF will be a meeting place for those concerned with the use of
advanced biometric technologies in forensic applications, attracting
participants from industry, research, academia, and end-users.

CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSIONS

The IWBF 2021 technical program will include Special Sessions to complement
the regular program with new or emerging topics of particular interest, in
line with the technical scope of the conference. Proposals will be evaluated
based on topic novelty and associated impact, organizing committee
qualifications, as well as the proposed list of contributed papers.

CALL FOR DEMOS

The IWBF 2021 organizers invite academia, industry researchers and
practitioners to showcase their work in biometrics and forensics through
demonstrations. We are searching for interactive displays of innovative
methods, systems and applications within the workshop's topics of interest.

CALL FOR DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM

The IWBF 2021 Doctoral Consortium aims to provide a platform for current and
prospective Ph.D. students to present their ideas and ongoing research, meet
other researchers, and obtain feedback from well-known advisers about
possible directions for their future research. The doctoral consortium is a
great opportunity for students to discuss the strengths/weaknesses of
different research proposals
