Call for Abstracts
The National Defense Industrial Association invites abstracts to be considered for presentation at the 2011 Annual Biometrics Conference. The theme of the 2011 conference, “National Security Through Biometric Collaboration - A Roadmap to Tomorrow”, recognizes the importance of engaging experts from multiple disciplines to address critical biometrics issues, challenges, and advancements especially relating to national defense in the years ahead. Strong collaboration among researchers, policy-makers, and community stakeholders is essential for identifying and implementing promising, sustainable solutions that are relevant to the Warfighter and national interests. The 2011 conference will highlight successful partnerships that have evaluated or implemented policy or technologies in biometrics and approaches for increasing the pace of scientific advancement. We invite specialists, researchers, scientists and members of the military from the fields of biology, computer science, mathematics, statistics, physics, strategic planning and policy, or related fields to share their understanding and contributions toward scientific applications that research or define policy objectives, motivate methodic development, and demonstrate the operation of new methods in the field of Biometrics. Current defense industry employees will not be considered for presentation.
Abstract topics must fall under one of the following:
• Collaborative tools, techniques, and technologies
• Managing accelerated growth in biometrics data collection
• Tools and integrated systems for the Warfighter (innovations in real-time storing, handling and retrieval of biometric data in combat environments)
• Advancements in theories and algorithms
• Hardware and software developments, trends, issues, and lessons learned
• Databases and knowledge management
• Data management for security and privacy
• Standards and standardization, policies, and procedures
• Identity and access management
• Domestic and international airline and air travel security
• National and international border controls
Abstract Submissions
NDIA strongly encourages abstracts related to the conference theme and abstracts on research that generally inform strategies for collaborative partnerships in biometric research. Abstracts describing approaches to collaborative innovation and implementation in military, government, and academia settings are encouraged, as are abstracts with an international focus.
All abstracts should describe any research, engineering, design, development, testing and evaluation, deployment, operations, as well as lessons learned associated with collaborative scientific engagement aspects of biometrics for national defense. Studies in collaborative methodology, correlation, implementation, and policy are encouraged. Abstracts presenting innovative conceptual papers and reviews will also be considered, including those with a focus on translating research into practice and policy to promote biometrics in national defense. Preference will be given to abstracts that report complete results. Abstract submission selections will not be orally presented from the podium; however, selected abstracts will have the opportunity to be made available at the conference via a poster presentation in the display area.
The abstract submission deadline is October 1st, 2010 at 11:59 p.m. ET. Authors will be notified of submission status by October 29, 2010 via email.
The abstract submission link is located at the bottom of this page.
Guidelines for Submitting Abstracts
Abstracts must follow the format suggested below and must be submitted online (see link below) by October 1, 2010, 11:59 p.m. ET. We encourage authors to submit early to ensure prompt confirmation and processing.
• The title of the abstract cannot exceed 200 characters and the text of the abstract must not exceed 5,000 characters. Abstracts must submitted be via the abstract submittal site, http://application.ndia.org/abstracts/1860. Only plain text will be accepted (no pictures or graphs)
• Abstracts must not contain information that would restrict their public release
• Abstracts should, at a minimum, contain the following content sections: Background, Objectives, Methods (including type of data collected), Results, Conclusions, and Support (if applicable)
• The primary author will receive an e-mail acknowledgement of each abstract submission along with an abstract number. This number will be needed for any further communications
• Primary authors who DO NOT RECIEVE e-mail acknowledgement of submission, contact Holley Slabaugh, Hslabaugh@ndia.org or 703-247-2561
