Preface
The past decade has seen a rapid growth in the demand for the usage of behavioral
and physiological characteristics of humans for e-security and forensics applications.
The significant advances in the biometrics techniques are increasingly incorporated in
a number of other applications. In this context, medicine has emerged as the largest
and most promising area. Medical biometrics primarily refers to the usage of behav-
ioral and physiological characteristics of humans for medical diagnosis and body
care. Thus the goal of medical biometrics is to explore solutions to the open problems
in medicine using biometric measurements, technologies and systems.
The International Conference on Medical Biometrics (ICMB 2008) was the first major
gathering in the world devoted to facilitating this interaction. We are pleased that this
conference attracted a large number of high-quality research papers that will benefit
international medical biometrics research. After a careful review process, 40 papers were
accepted either for oral (17) or poster (23) presentations. In addition to these technical
presentations, this conference also held a workshop on Computerized Traditional Chi-
nese Medicine. Our efforts are focused to generating awareness among researchers,
organizing researchers to foster research in this area, and providing a common platform
for discussion and investigation. This conference provided a forum for discussing practi-
cal experiences in applying the state-of-the-art biometric tecnologies for medical diagno-
sis and body care, which will further stimulate research in medical biometrics.
We are grateful to Max A. Viergever, Heinz-Otto Peitgen, and Tadashi Watsuji for
accepting our invitation to give keynote talks at ICMB 2008. In addition, we would
like to express our gratitude to all the contributors, reviewers, Program Committee and
Organizing Committee members who made this a very successful conference. We also
wish to acknowledge the International Association of Pattern Recognition (IAPR),
IEEE Computational Intelligence Society (IEEE-CIS), National Natural Science
Foundation in China (NSFC), and Springer for sponsoring this conference. Special
thanks are due to Jane You, Milan Sonka, Xiaoyi Jiang, Ajay Kumar, Lei Zhang, Jing
Li, Vivek K., Zhenhua Guo and Liu Li for their dedication and hard work in various
aspects of the conference organization. We thankfully acknowledge the partial support
from the National Natural Science Foundation in China (NSFC) Key Overseas Project
(60620160097).
We hope that the fruitful technical interactions during this conference will benefit
your further research and development efforts in medical biometrics.
