Cubrilo, "Towards a General Definition of Biometric Systems", International Journal of Computer Science Issues, IJCSI, Volume 2, pp1-7, August 2009 %T Towards a General Definition of Biometric Systems %X A foundation for closing the gap between biometrics in the narrower and the broader perspective is presented trough a conceptualization of biometric systems in both perspectives. A clear distinction between verification, identification and classification systems is made as well as shown that there are additional classes of biometric systems. In the end a Unified Modeling Language model is developed showing the connections between the two perspectives. %K biometrics, biometric system, set mappings, conceptualization, classification %V 2 %D 2009 %I International Journal of Computer Science Issues, IJCSI %L cogprints6690
