IF has found its use in various application fields, such as computer vision, robotics, defense, and machine learning. IF is an interdisciplinary subject and concerns a collection of methods for combining information utilizing other disciplines such as digital signal processing, estimation theory, control theory, and artificial intelligence.</p> <p>The research field of IF is not limited to the actual combination of information, but also includes the technological infrastructure of data acquisition and processing, pre–processing of data, representation of information, control of fusion processes and the acquisition of new information, and user aspects etc. </p> <h3>Submissions</h3>Topics of interest for SWIFT 2008 include, but are not limited to, <ul><li>Situation awareness and human decision–making <ul><li><em>Fusion aspects on, e.g., decision–support, information visualization, mixed–initiative interaction, HCI, user requirements</em></li></ul> </li><li>Decision and classifier fusion <ul><li><em>Approaches to represent and fuse competitive information from, e.g., classifiers</em></li></ul> </li><li>Support and infrastructure issues <ul><li><em>Middleware and architectures for fusion, pre–processing and association of observations, meta–data, sensor and information modelling</em></li></ul> </li><li>Future directions for information fusion <ul><li><em>Otherwise novel ideas for information fusion and ongoing work</em></li></ul></li></ul> <p>We are inviting authors to submit extended abstracts of 2–4 pages preferably with relation to the aforementioned topics. The abstracts may include problem descriptions, possible approaches, preliminary results, and industrial experience. </p></span><p><font size=″2″><span style=″″ lang=″EN–US″></span></font></p>
