FUSION 2014 - 17th International Conference on Information Fusion

Information fusion is the synergistic integration of information from different sources about the behavior of a particular system, to support decisions and actions relating to the system. Information fusion includes theory, techniques and tools for exploiting the synergy in the information acquired from multiple sources, for example sensors observing system behavior, databases storing knowledge about previous behavior, simulations predicting future behavior and information gathered by humans.
The 17th International Conference on Information Fusion (Fusion 2014) will be held in Salamanca, Spain. This event will provide a forum to discuss the latest research in Information Fusion its impacts for industry and institutions. It intends to bring together researchers and developers from industry and the academic world to report on the latest scientific and technical advances on this frame. to discuss and debate the major issues, and to showcase the latest systems using these technologies.
