Advances in biometrics ; International conference, ICB 2006, Hong Kong, China, January 5-7, 2006, Proceedings
Biometrics has emerged as a reliable person identification method that can over-come some of the limitations of the traditional automatic personal identificationmethods. With significant advances in biometric technology and a correspondingincrease in the number of applications incorporating biometrics, it is essentialthat we bring together researchers from academia and industry as well as practi-tioners to share ideas, problems and solutions for the development and successfuldeployment of state-of-the-art biometric systems.The International Conference on Biometrics (ICB 2006) followed the success-ful International Conference on Biometric Authentication (ICBA 2004) to facil-itate this interaction. ICB 2006 received a large number of high-quality researchpapers. After a careful review of 192 submissions, 104 papers were acceptedfor presentation.

Advances in artificial life ; 8th European Conference, ECAL 2005 , Canterbury, UK, September 5-9, 2005, Proceedings
The Artificial Life term appeared more than 20 years ago . Since then the area has developed dramatically, many researchersjoining enthusiastically and research groups sprouting everywhere.a conceptual track, where papers were judged on criteria like importance and/or novelty of the concepts proposed rather than the experimental / theoretical results, has been introduced this year. A conference on a theme as broad as Artificial Life is bound to be very di-verse, but a few tendencies emerged. First, fields like ‘Robotics and Autonomous Agents’ or ‘Evolutionary Computation’are still extremely active and keep onbringing a wealth of results to the A-Life community. Even there, however, new tendencies appear, like collective robotics, and more specifically self-assembling robotics, which represent now a large subsection. Second, new areas appear.‘Morphogenesis and Development’ which used to be the subject of only a fewpapers, is now one of the largest subsections, and seems to be on the brinkof becoming a field of its own. Finally, most classical themes of A-Life re-search like ‘Artificial Chemistry’, ‘Ant-Inspired Systems’, ‘Cellular Automata’,‘Self-Replication’, ‘Social Simulations’ or ‘Bio-realist Simulations’ are still goingstrong and are well represented within this volume.
