His network of experts cover all relevant areas of biometrics, from strategic to operational, from legal to technical.
As an expert himself he is involved in several projects and consortia, ranging from passports and visa to large scale watch list applications and physical access control. Today, Max Snijder is involved in the key areas of the biometrics business. On European level he is involved in numerous workshops, committees and expert groups. As independent consultant he is frequently being hired to review, supervise and monitor projects that involve biometrics. He works for several European member states' governments as well as for the European Commission. Max Snijder is member of several high level bodies, like the Consortium on Security and Technology of the EastWest Institute, The Porvoo Group and CEN Working Group on Integrated Border Management. As CEO of the European Biometrics Forum he is chairman of the International Biometrics Advisor Council.
Having a broad knowledge about the market for biometric technologies and applications he is increasingly involved in the business aspects of biometrics, meaning creating and assessing business plans, providing strategic business consultancy to industrial players and venture capitalists and accompanying mergers and acquisitions.

Dr. MARIEMMA YAGÜE
University of Malaga
Mariemma I. Yagüe received her BSc and MSc degrees in Computer Engineering from the University of Granada (Spain) in 1990 and 1992, respectively. After working at the University of Vigo from 1993 until 1996, she joined the Department of Computer Science at the University of Málaga (Spain) in 1996 where she received her PhD degree in Computer Science.
Her main research activities are primarily in the area of metadata and security on distributed information systems. More specifically, access control, authorization, digital rights management (DRM) and semantic modeling. The application of semantic information to the field of access control resulted on the development of a new access control scheme, the Semantic Access Control Model (SAC) as her Ph.D. work. She is very involved in several national and international research projects and NoEs, and is member of the CEN/ISSS Digital Rights Management Working Group, RETISTIC - Red temática española de investigación en el campo de la seguridad de las tecnologías de información, CRIPTORED Ibero-American Thematic network on Cryptography and Information Security, among others. She participates in the organization of different events, this year including the First International Workshop on Technological & Security Issues in Digital Rights Management EuDiRights'06 (in conjunction with ESORICS'06), the Fourth International Workshop on Security In Information Systems (WOSIS-2006), and the Smart University'06 DRM module. She is also member of important Security related conferences Program Committees and some editorial advisory board journals.
