The International Conference on Information Fusion is organized every
year with the focus of bringing together scientists and practitioners
working on methods for information fusion and management of uncertainty.
In 2004 the conference is being held in Stockholm, Sweden. Authors are
invited to submit papers describing theoretical, methodological or
application advances in information fusion and management of
uncertainty, with submission of non-traditional topics being encouraged.
All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings,
available at the conference. Tutorials will be held on June 28, with
technical paper presentations on June 29-July 1, 2004. The conference
will also feature plenary talks by invited speakers.

Submission Instructions
Draft Paper Submission:
Papers are required by the due date of January 1, 2004 for review by the
technical program committee. Papers submitted for review should
represent original, previously unpublished work. All papers will be
submitted electronically through the Fusion 2004 web site. Each paper
should be 6 to 8 pages of length, written in English; LaTeX, FrameMaker
and MS Word style guides will be provided on the web site.
(www.fusion2004.org).
Submission Process:
Authors should visit the conference web site and follow the instructions
to submit their papers before the due date. Papers must be submitted
electronically using pdf-formats. For reference, the following
information must be submitted at the web site with each paper. (1) paper
title and topic, (2) name of authors and affiliations (including
address, phone, fax, and email); (3) abstract of no more than 150 words;
(4) 3-5 keywords; (5) a short biography (at least for the presenting
author) to be put on Fusion 2004 web site. Paper Acceptance The Program
Committee wishes to ensure that Fusion 2004 will be a conference of
highest quality, and therefore the contributions will be thoroughly
evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and scientific
soundness. Each paper will be refereed by 2-3 researchers. Notification
of accepted papers will be made by March 15, 2004. After notification,
authors must submit updated papers through the final due date of May 1,
2004. All accepted papers will be published in the conference
proceedings and cd-rom, to be available at the conference.
Special Sessions:
Proposals for special sessions are solicited. Proposers should submit a
one-paragraph theme for their session plus a list of committed paper
titles, paper abstracts, authors and their contact information to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] by November 1, 2003 (with a target of 6 papers, and a
minimum of 4 papers per special session). Notification of acceptance of
special sessions will be given by November 15, 2003. Accepted special
sessions will at that time be advertised on the Fusion 2004 web site.
Papers intended for special sessions will need to pass the review
process like all submitted papers. Thus, draft papers of accepted
special sessions are to be submitted on the Fusion 2004 web site by
January 1, 2004 for review by the program committee. Proposers of
accepted sessions will serve as session chairs and additional reviewers
for papers in their sessions.
Tutorial Sessions:
On the first day of the conference - June 28 - there will be tutorial
sessions on fundamentals of information fusion and its applications.
Proposals for tutorial sessions are solicited. Session organizers are
expected to submit a theme and schedule for their session plus a list of
lecturers and their contact information to [EMAIL PROTECTED] by February
1, 2004. See the web site for additional information.
