Dear,

I invite you to submit papers to the Second Latin American Workshop on 

Information Fusion – (https://lafusion.cos.ufrj.br/ ).

The Second Latin American Workshop on Information Fusion (LAFUSION 2024) focuses on the latest research results on Information Fusion in Latin America. Besides, this workshop aims to create a community of Information Fusion researchers in Latin America. 

Information fusion is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on combining and

integrating information from diverse sources to improve the resulting information's accuracy, completeness, and reliability. It involves merging data or knowledge from multiple sensors, databases, or information systems to generate a unified and coherent representation of the underlying reality. Therefore, its main goal is to extract meaningful and actionable insights by leveraging the strengths of individual information sources while compensating for their limitations, uncertainties, or redundancies. It aims to provide a more comprehensive and accurate understanding of a given situation or phenomenon than what can be achieved by using individual sources in isolation.

Tutorial submissions

Proposals should be submitted as PDF files to lafusion2025@labnet.nce.ufrj.br.  A proposal needs to contain (Up to 2 Pages IEEE conference format): 

• The title of the proposed tutorial;

• The intended audience and prerequisites for the attendees’ background knowledge;

• A description of the tutorial including the learning objectives and a short summary of the material to be presented;

• Biographical sketch(es) of the instructor(s) including previous lecture and tutorial experience.

For further information, please contact us via lafusion2025@labnet.nce.ufrj.br.

Workshop submissions

The second type of submission is the workshop papers (2-4 Pages). Authors of accepted positions and regular papers are expected to present their work in a plenary session as part of the main workshop program (hybrid). Accepted regular papers will be published in IEEE. Proceedings will be indexed in the IEEE Digital Library, SCOPUS, and other prominent digital libraries.

Workshop papers must be original (i.e., not previously published) and not currently under review by any other conference or journal. Submissions related to the featured topic are especially welcome, but all other submissions in the scope of Information Fusion are equally welcome. All submissions will be evaluated based on the same criteria. All submitted papers must conform to the IEEE conference template. LAFUSION 2024 will adopt a double-blind review process for regular papers. Authors must make a good faith effort to anonymize their submissions to ensure that their identities are not disclosed to reviewers, and reviewers are discouraged from actively working to uncover author identities. Submitting to arXiv (or similar) is allowed to promote early dissemination, provided cross-citations are not made.

You can submit your paper through: https://openreview.net/group?id=ufrj.br/UFRJ/Lafusion/2024/Workshop

This year, the workshop will be held at two sites: 28th at COPPE UFRJ and 29th at the Othon hotel in Rio de Janeiro.
