Active databases have been used in many different fields to accomplish many different tasks. One of the main problems today that still have not been solved is authorization. In some situations it is enough that user knows e.g. password, in other situations it is enough that user posses e.g. a smart card, but, there are also situations where user’s unique physical or psychological characteristics need to be measured. In this paper we are going to put accent on this third possibility. We will show how the concept of complex events presented in the active database theory could be used in order to build a multimodal biometric system. Especially, we will explore the paradigm of active rules and complex events, and apply them in order to implement a multimodal biometric system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
