SCIENCE CHINA: Information Sciences
Special Issue on Information Fusion
CALL FOR PAPERS
Information fusion is the process of gathering, filtering, correlating and integrating relevant information from various sources into one representational format. It is widely used in civilian and military fields to help make decisions involving tasks like sensor management, tracking, recognition, and system control. Information fusion has become an area of active research and attracted more and more attention from researchers in different disciplines.
The goal of this special issue is to bring together state-of-the-art research contributions that describe original and unpublished work on all aspects of research and development in the field of information fusion. Articles are expected to emphasize one or more of the three facets: architectures, algorithms, and applications. Specific topics of interest for the special issue include, but are not limited to the following.
Methodologies: probability theory, Bayesian inference (including particle filters, MCMC and other non-numeric approximation schemes), fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic, Dempster-Shafer evidential reasoning, logic-based fusion and preference aggregation, random sets including Finite Set Statistics.
Algorithms: data registration, automatic target recognition, nonlinear filtering, target tracking and data association (including feature-aided tracking, hard soft data fusion, extended object and group tracking, combined detection and tracking), image fusion, automated situation assessment, pattern and behavioral analysis, distributed fusion, process and sensor resource management.
Applications: distributed sensor networks, defense and intelligence, robotics, transportation and logistics (including Aerospace, Automotive, Intelligent Transportation), economics and financial, environmental and medical.
Modeling, Simulation and Evaluation: target and sensor modeling, benchmarks, test beds, fusion performance modeling and evaluation (including Cramér-Rao bound, fusion performance evaluation, fusion performance modeling).
