Call for Papers
Sensor Fusion: Architectures, Algorithms, and Applications VI (or36);
SPIE's 16th Annual International Symposium on Aerospace/Defense
Sensing, Simulation, and Controls, 1-5 April 2002, Orlando, FL.
http://spie.org/conferences/Calls/02/or/confs/OR36.html
Abstracts for this conference are due by 20 August 2001. Manuscripts
are due by 7 January 2002.
This conference is one of two conferences being offered under the new
track Information Fusion and Knowledge Discovery Technologies that
reflect the growing emphasis around the globe on the Information
Technology area. This conference is designed to highlight the progress
in the exponentially growing field of multisensor, multisource
information fusion and will cover all the different facets of
information fusion systems starting from the conceptual design through
development, testing, and fielding. The main objective of the
conference will be to promote synergistic exploitation of the ideas
from the different areas of endeavor that together constitutes the
field of information fusion. In particular, the emphasis will be on
the triplet: Architectures, Algorithms, and Applications. Papers
dealing with intelligent techniques that are relevant to fusion
processing are actively sought. Applications from both defense and
civilian domains (such as robotics, medicine, and space, as well as
those dealing with non-traditional information sources) are welcome to
further a fruitful exchange of issues and ideas. Studies dealing with
real-world issues, such as computational demands, real-time
constraints, and the like are particularly encouraged. Papers that
address one or more of the questions of what, where, why, when, and
how in the context of multisource information fusion, fall within the
scope of the conference.
Areas of interest include but are not limited to:
multisensor, multisource fusion system architectures
data, feature, decision, and multilevel fusion
multiclassifier fusion
elucidative fusion systems
multilook temporal fusion
active, passive, and mixed sensor suites
adaptive and self-improving fusion system architectures
multisensor and distributed sensor system design
fusion learning in imperfect, imprecise, and incomplete environments
intelligent techniques for fusion processing
computational resources optimization
special purpose hardware dedicated to fusion applications
system design and algorithmic issues
linguistic information fusion including semantic webs
neurophysiologically motivated architectures and applications
biomedical applications including ICU patient monitoring, health care,
and diagnostics other real-world applications including military and
civilian fields such as robotics, mine detection, remote sensing,
transportation systems, document analysis, character recognition,
identity verification, and the like.
Proposals for special sessions devoted to specific topics are also
welcome. Please contact the chairman at belur.d@dynetics.com with your
ideas. This conference with its emphasis on rapid dissemination of
information is intended to complement archival peer-reviewed journals
such as Information Fusion. Papers presented at this conference, with
significant additions, modifications, and enhancements, may be
considered, if the authors so choose, for possible publication in the
Information Fusion Journal through its normal review process.
