In our modern information societies, we not only use and welcome computers; we are highly dependent upon them. There is a downside of this kind of progress, however. Computers are not 100% reliable. They are insecure. They are vulnerable to attackers. They can either be attacked directly, to disrupt their services, or they can be abused in clever ways to do the bidding of an attacker as a dysfunctional user. Decision-makers and experts alike always struggle with the amount of interdisciplinary knowledge needed to understand the nuts and bolts of modern information societies and their relation to security, the implications of technological or political progress or the lack thereof. This holds in particular for new challenges to come. These are harder to understand and to categorize; their development is difficult to predict. To mitigate this problem and to enable more foresight, The Secure Information Society provides an interdisciplinary spotlight onto some new and unfolding aspects of the uneasy relationship between information technology and information society, to aid the dialogue not only in its current and ongoing struggle, but to anticipate the future in time and prepare perspectives for the challenges ahead.

ThisLNCSvolumecontainsthepaperspresentedatthe28thAnnualSymposium of the German Association for Pattern Recognition, DAGM2006, held during September 12-14, 2006 at Fraunhofer IPK in Berlin, Germany. This symposium was jointly organized by the three Fraunhofer Institutes HHI, IPK and FIRST, and it was a great honor for the organizers to host such a renowned, scienti?c event. In total, 171 papers from 29 countries were submitted, of which 76 (44%) were accepted. We would therefore like to thank all the authors for submitting theirworkandapologizethatnotallpaperscouldbeaccepted.Thisrecordn- ber of submissions is an acknowledgement of the high reputation of the DAGM Symposium but atthe sametime it wasa challengefor the ProgramCommittee, asallpaperswerereviewedbythreeexperts.Thereforeweareespeciallygrateful tothe62membersoftheProgramCommitteefortheir remarkablee?ortandthe high quality as well as the timely delivery of the reviews. Out of the 76 accepted papers, 31 were oral presentations and 45 were posters. However, this selection does not imply any quality ranking but re?ects the preference of the authors or the clustering of certain topics. It was also a special honor to have ?ve very renowned invited speakers at this conference: - GabrielCurio-Charit´ e, Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience, Berlin, Germany - ThomasHofmann - Technical University Darmstadt, Germany - ThomasHuang - Beckman Institute, University of Illinois, USA - SebastianThrun - Arti?cial Intelligence Lab, Stanford University, USA - PatriceSimard - Document Processing and Understanding (DPU) Group - Microsoft Research, Redmond, USA Thesespeakerspresentedtheirviewsonthestateoftheartinpatternrecognition and image processing.
