Description du livre
The book to which I was asked by the editors to write a foreword is an interesting collection of contributions. It presents the extended versions of the authors' works already introduced at the International Multi-Conference on Advanced Computer Information and Security Systems ACS-CISIM 2005. These contributions had already been reviewed once before the conference for presentation at the conference while some of them passed another selection to be prepared in their current versions for this book. I am convinced the book will be of help to the researchers in the field of Computer Methods in Biometrics, Security Systems and Artificial Intelligence. They would find the contributions of other researchers of real benefit to them. I would encourage those who have the book in hands to read it.
