該雜志旨在在一個單一的論壇內介紹多傳感器、多源、多進程信息融合領域的所有發(fā)展，從而促進促進促進其發(fā)展的許多學科之間的協(xié)同作用。該雜志是傳播信息融合領域研究和發(fā)展各個方面信息的主要媒介。文章將強調三個方面中的一個或多個：體系結構、算法和應用程序。本文涉及的基礎理論分析以及那些證明其應用于現(xiàn)實問題將受到歡迎。該期刊在所有與信息融合領域相關的領域，包括但不限于以下建議主題，出版原稿、致編輯的信函以及不時邀請的評論文章：?數據/圖像、特征、決策和多級融合?多分類器/決策系統(tǒng)?多視時間融合?多傳感器、多源融合系統(tǒng)架構?分布式和無線傳感器網絡?更高層次的融合主題，包括態(tài)勢感知和管理?多傳感器管理和實時應用?自適應和自我改進的融合系統(tǒng)架構?主動、被動和混合傳感器套件?多傳感器和分布式傳感器系統(tǒng)設計?在不完善、不精確和不完整的環(huán)境中進行融合學習?融合處理智能技術?融合系統(tǒng)設計和算法問題?融合系統(tǒng)計算資源和需求優(yōu)化?專用于融合應用的專用硬件?挖掘遙感多光譜/超光譜圖像數據庫?信息融合在入侵檢測、網絡安全、信息安全和保障領域的應用?機器人、空間、生物醫(yī)療、交通、經濟和金融信息系統(tǒng)等應用?現(xiàn)實世界問題，如計算需求、融合系統(tǒng)背景下的實時約束。

The journal is intended to present within a single forum all of the developments in the field of multi-sensor, multi-source, multi-process information fusion and thereby promote the synergism among the many disciplines that are contributing to its growth. The journal is the premier vehicle for disseminating information 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. Papers dealing with fundamental theoretical analyses as well as those demonstrating their application to real-world problems will be welcome. The journal publishes original papers, letters to the Editors and from time to time invited review articles, in all areas related to the information fusion arena including, but not limited to, the following suggested topics:? Data/Image, Feature, Decision, and Multilevel Fusion? Multi-classifier/Decision Systems? Multi-Look Temporal Fusion? Multi-Sensor, Multi-Source Fusion System Architectures? Distributed and Wireless Sensor Networks? Higher Level Fusion Topics Including Situation Awareness And Management? Multi-Sensor Management and Real-Time Applications? Adaptive And Self-Improving Fusion System Architectures? Active, Passive, And Mixed Sensor Suites? Multi-Sensor And Distributed Sensor System Design? Fusion Learning In Imperfect, Imprecise And Incomplete Environments? Intelligent Techniques For Fusion Processing? Fusion System Design And Algorithmic Issues? Fusion System Computational Resources and Demands Optimization? Special Purpose Hardware Dedicated To Fusion Applications? Mining Remotely Sensed Multi-Spectral/Hyper-Spectral Image Data Bases? Information Fusion Applications in Intrusion Detection, Network Security, Information Security and Assurance arena? Applications such as Robotics, Space, Bio-medical, Transportation, Economics, and Financial Information Systems? Real-World Issues such as Computational Demands, Real-Time Constraints in the context of Fusion systems.
