Abstract:
Adaptability and advanced services in smart cities and adaptive environments require intelligent technological support for knowing the needs and the desires of citizens in the interactions with the environment during their daily activities. To this purpose in some cases we can discover these characteristics by observing the human behavior, while in others we can retrieve stored information associated to the person. In both cases, the use of biometrics can be extremely useful both to understand the human behavior and to identify the person or the class of persons with similar characteristics so as to derive their needs and desires.
Biometric technologies allow in fact for analyzing human traits (e.g., face, fingerprint, palm) for identity management without requiring individuals to carry tokens or remembering information. These technologies allow also for classifying the persons by observing soft-biometric traits (e.g., gait, height, weight, emotions), thus associating the needs typical of the detected class. Besides, some soft-biometric traits (e.g., gestures) allow for specifying actions desired by the person.
This talk will analyze the opportunities offered by biometric technologies and applications to support the realization of adaptable operations and intelligent services in smart cities and adaptive environments. Attention will be also given to a comprehensive system design methodology to take into account all application requirements, including the need for privacy protection.
