ETUR 2013 - Special Session on Evaluation of Techniques for Uncertainty Representation (ETUR)

One of the main goals of information fusion is uncertainty reduction, which is dependent on the representation chosen. Uncertainty representation differs across the various levels of Information Fusion (as defined by the JDL/DFIG models). Given the advances in information fusion systems, there is a need to determine how to represent and evaluate situational (Level 2 Fusion), impact (Level 3 Fusion) and process refinement (Level 5 Fusion), which is not well standardized for the information fusion community. The goal of the ETUR Session is bring together advances and developments in the area of evaluation of uncertainty representation. The session will leverage on the current work of the ISIF’s ETURWG, a working group devoted to the topic, and bring together researchers in the area to summarize the state of the art in uncertainty analysis, representation, and evaluation.
