IEEE T-BIOM now welcomes submissions of Position Papers aimed to stimulate discussion and forward-thinking dialogue about the future trajectory of biometric technology, applications, policy, evaluation, and ethical frameworks. Unlike conventional articles, position papers are shorter and should present a clear, well-supported argument addressing critical challenges, emerging technologies, or societal implications in the biometrics domain. Authors are encouraged to advance provocative, well-reasoned stances intended to inspire discussion, guide future research agendas, and inform policymaking and industry practices.

Potential topics might include, but are not limited to:

  • Fundamental Problems;
  • Edge Computing and Distributed Systems;
  • Active and Passive Threats Against Biometric Systems;
  • Fairness, Accessibility, and Inclusion;
  • Global-scale Identity Management;
  • Ethical, Legal, and Societal Implications;
  • Quantum-secure Biometric Systems; and
  • Implications and Future of AI in Biometrics.
