BANTAM is the first modeling language specifically designed
for
applications in
Biometrics and Token
Technology. It
represents a significant step forward for the design and
implementation of
biometric and related technology
applications in that:
- it is very simple to learn and use;
- it offers a consistent system of documentation and a
clarity of presentation which make the accurate description
of user requirements much easier;
- it provides a complete methodology for managing the
project from original business case, through procurement
and implementation, to subsequent training and
support.
"The User Guide" provides much more than just a guide to
the
Bantam methodology: readers will also find lots of good
advice on program management in general and will gain an
insight into designing biometric and related applications.
In addition, the book includes a CD-ROM which contains the
full Bantam notation and document templates, together with
various useful utilities and trial applications. It will be
essential reading for anyone who is serious about
biometrics and related technologies, including
governmental/corporate end-users, systems integrators,
biometric vendors, application developers and device
manufacturers. It will also be useful background reading
for advanced students and IT and management
consultants.
Reviews of Julian Ashbourn's first book: "Biometrics:
Advanced Identity Verification":
"You could attend a dozen conferences and not come away
with the kind of overview presented in this new
book".
Dave Mintie, Connecticut Department of Social
Services " a highly readable, entertaining guidebook that should
serve as a welcome companion for anyone who must promote,
explain, justify, or control an organization's transition
to biometric technology."
