We present a new approach to a componentware development methodology based on a system of process patterns. We argue that organizing the development process by means of a pattern system results in higher flexibility compared to traditional ways of defining development processes. This is especially important in the context of componentware. Finally, we propose a pattern catalog with a selection ...

Biometric systems based upon finger vein images have been shown to be vulnerable to presentation attacks. In this supplement, we detail a variety of methods extending local binary patterns (LBP) which can be used to distinguish between fake and real finger vein images in terms of description and implementation / experimentation parameters used.
