[CFP] Deadline approaching: 27th Intl. Conference on Information Fusion (FUSION 2024), 7-11 July 2024, Venice | Italy

CALL FOR PAPERS
27th International Conference
on Information Fusion (FUSION 2024)
7 – 11 July 2024
Ca' Foscari University of Venice | Venice | Italy
With the proliferation of sensor technology and ever-increasing amounts of data generated, Information Fusion is critical for combining noisy and possibly conflicting observations from various sensors and actors into actionable, coherent information about the underlying situation. The 27th International Conference on Information Fusion thus is soliciting papers from researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government agencies that explore traditional model-based and emerging data-driven autonomous methodologies on sensor, data, information and knowledge fusion, new system frameworks, hybrid processing techniques, and the associated challenges at the systemic level, including system design paradigms and issues of system control, management, test, and evaluation.
Accepted papers will be submitted for publication in the IEEE Xplore® Digital Library (indexed in Scopus and the Web of Science).

Competition
FUSION 2024 hosts
the first
International High Level Information Fusion
Competition 2024 (HLIF2024):
Evaluate your
information fusion algorithms on a
benchmark of Notices To Airmen (NOTAM). The aim
is to extract & fuse information contained in these notices,
store it in an ontology and answer some pilots information
requests.
Please consult
the HLIF2024 website
https://hlif-challenge.s3g-labs.fr for
further information.
Thanks to ISIF's support, there will be a shared prize of 1500€ distributed among the winners of the competition.
Papers on HLIF2024
solutions can use the practice data set available on the
website and must be submitted by the
general FUSION 2024 submission deadline (March 1,
2024). The deadline for
submitting software solutions to the competition is June
1, 2024.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. Full Papers (between 5 and 8 pages) must conform to specifications in templates provided by IEEE at https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html to be considered for acceptance and publication, and will undergo a rigorous review process.
