ISCIF 2011 - Call For Papers (http://gsii.usal.es/~iscif2011/)



Intelligent systems for context-based information fusion (ISCIF 2011)

under the frame of IWANN 2011 (http://iwann2005.ugr.es/)



8th-10th June, 2011 - Torremolinos (Málaga, Spain)



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Information fusion has become increasily relevant during the last years. One of the reasons is the growing importance as rapid advances in sensor technology that provide information from the environment. The sensors can be used to enable information fusion applications in different environments such as remote sensing, surveillance, home care, etc. With the continuing expansion of the domain of interest and the increasing complexity of the collected information, intelligent techniques for fusion processing have become a crucial component in information fusion applications. The problem of Information Fusion has attracted significant attention in the artificial intelligence community, trying to innovate in the techniques used for combining the data and to refine state estimates and predictions. Intelligent systems can improve information fusion based on the context management aimed at supporting decision making, since the quality of decision making depends upon the quality of information at hand. A clear example are the multi-agent systems or the intelligent agents used for context-awareness that can provide both distributed fusion and advanced reasoning capabilities. Multi-agent systems can fusion information from different sources in a given environment and incorporate intelligent methods capable of facilitating decision support systems.

Research on Intelligent Systems and context-based information fusion has matured during the last decade and many effective applications of this technology are now deployed. This workshop provides an international forum to present and discuss the latest scientific developments and their effective applications, to assess the impact of the approach, and to facilitate technology transfer. It provides a framework to present, to discuss, and to disseminate the latest developments and the most important outcomes related to Intelligent Systems in context-based information fusion.
