During his keynote speech on Tuesday, December 4th at 6:45 p.m., Oracle's senior vice president and chief marketing officer, Mark Jarvis, will demonstrate AcSys FRS and introduce the inventor of AcSys FRS core technology - - Holographic/Quantum Neural Technology (HNeT) -- John Sutherland, president of AND Corporation and AcSys' Chief Technology Officer. "We're going to demonstrate AcSys FRS onstage as part of my keynote, Project U, which stands for unbreakable," said Jarvis. "Clearly, unbreakable security is critical to all companies today. We chose to demonstrate the leading-edge technology AcSys Biometrics have created because it's incredibly innovative." The conference, which attracted nearly 100,000 attendees last year, offers comprehensive education for developers, database administrators (DBAs), line-of-business executives, customers and partners. "Behind every application of AcSys FRS is a database. AcSys FRS is an enabling technology required to communicate with databases of all kinds. The key to the use of face recognition lies in the development of comprehensive, shared, intelligent, watch-list databases. There obviously could be no more relevant audience than those in attendance at the Oracle OpenWorld conference," said Jerry Janik, AcSys president and C.E.O.
