The International Conference on Information Fusion is a premier forum for the interchange of the latest research in
information fusion and discussion of its impacts on our society. The conference brings together researchers and
practitioners from industry and academia to report on the latest scientific and technical advances. Authors are
invited to submit papers describing advances and applications in information fusion.
The 19th FUSION conference will be held in Heidelberg, Germany, at the Heidelberg Convention Center located
right at the river Neckar within the historic city. Heidelberg's famous historical castle, the Old Town, and the longest
pedestrian zone in Europe are a must see for everybody visiting Germany.
The conference deals with both high-level and low-level information fusion. The four
main categories and example subcategories (non-exhaustive) are:
1. Theory and representation, e.g., probability theory, Bayesian inference, stochastic
processes, fuzzy sets, Dempster–Shafer theory, and belief functions.
2. Algorithms for target tracking, localization, situation assessment, behavior/swarm
modeling, decision making, data mining, data analytics, sensor/resource management, compressed sensing, pattern analysis, machine learning, artificial intelligence, sonar/radar/video tracking, image fusion, data association, distributed
fusion, and sensor registration.
3. Modeling, simulation and evaluation, considering a wide range from target and
sensor modeling to fusion/tracking performance evaluation, and simulation tools.
4. Applications of information fusion such as sensor networks, navigation and guidance, aerospace, robotics, imaging, autonomy, computer and homeland security,
defense and intelligence, operations research, business intelligence, environmental monitoring, medical care, intelligent transportation, economics and finance,
Internet of Things, smart cities, and big data.
