CALL FOR PAPERS - FUSION 2004
The Seventh International Conference on Information Fusion
Stockholm, Sweden
June 28 - July 1, 2004
Sponsored by the International Society of Information Fusion
http://www.fusion2004.org
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
15, 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for review should represent original, previously unpublished work.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, Frame Maker 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
and email), (3) abstract of no more than 150 words.
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 3 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 15, 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.
