The Biometrics Grid: A Solution to Biometric Technologies

The biometrics grid can simplify resource management and access by making biometrics data as easy to access as Web pages via a Web browser. It tests user-designed modules, which are wrapped to Web services and deployed into a Web services container. Risk-resilient strategies are used for job scheduling. A case study of two biometrics recognition processes in voiceprint and face illustrates the process. The biometrics grid could benefit academic collaborations and improve biometric data sharing, as well as enhance biometric systems' efficiency in scientific research and commercial applications.
