Special Issue Information

In addition to computing power and improved sensors capable of capturing novel
biological signals such as heartbeat and brain waves via EEG or EKG,
behavioral analysis and activity recognition are increasingly being used for a
variety of purposes from healthcare to law enforcement. An important trend is
the development of multimodal biometrics and the increasing use of biometrics,
focusing on various behavioral patterns.  In addition to traditional biometric
methods such as face recognition, biometric methods also include gesture
dynamics, gait features, and behavioral characteristics, as long as the
behavior is analyzed to determine the genetic, physical, physiological,
behavioral or emotional nature characterizing a specific individual.
This special issue focuses on new biometric modalities and recent developments
in behavioral biometrics that rely on specific data technologies related to
the physical, physiological, or behavioral aspects of the human body
(including when in motion). Its purpose is to highlight recent advances in the
development of human authentication technologies and the categorization of
humans based on physiological characteristics (including predicting future
behavior).
Topics to be covered including, but not limited to:
Machine learning for biometrics
Machine learning for behavioral recognition
Biometric Fusion framework
A comparative study of the existing learning approaches of Behavioral
Biometric Datasets

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and
logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the
submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All
submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be
published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed
together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as
well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and
short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for
announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under
consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings
papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-
review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for
submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page.
Entropy is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal
published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript.
The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access
journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted
and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to
publication or during author revisions.
