Probability theory; Bayesian, neural, set-membership and Dempster-Shafer approaches; random
sets; fuzzy logic; risk-sensitive approaches; fusion modeling; agents; genetic optimization.

2. Technological advances
Sensor modeling (radar, active and passive sonar, acoustic, seismic, magnetic, optical, visual);
fusion-related hardware, software and communications technology.

3. Algorithmic developments
Classification; data mining; nonlinear filtering and smoothing; target tracking and localization;
contact-based tracking algorithms; combined detection/tracking; sensor resource management;
distributed fusion; active and passive data fusion; data registration; image fusion; database
fusion.

4. Application Areas
Situation awareness and decision support in defense and intelligence; public security;
aerospace; computer security; robotics and automation; intelligent transportation; logistics;
automotive; manufacturing; economics and financial; environmental monitoring; medical care, etc..

Paper Submissions. Prospective authors are invited to submit papers electronically through the
