 The 1998 International Conference on Information Fusion (FUSION'98) will
 be held in Las Vegas, from July 6 to 9, 1998.  You invited to serve in
 the conference committees and submit drafts (1 to 5 pages) of
 unpublished paper(s) to Prof. Hamid Arabania (address below; email is
 best). Final manuscript are due on May 22, 1998. All papers will be
 presented at the conference and published in the conference Proceedings. 

 submit all papers to:
    Prof. Hamid R. Arabnia

    Athens, Georgia 30602-7404, U.S.A.
    Tel: (706) 542-3480 Fax: (706) 542-2966
    E-mail: hra@cs.uga.edu


 So far the conference has received over 160 papers covering all aspects
 of information fusion. They include fusion algorithm, theory,
 architecture and applications in automation, target tracking,
 positioning and navigation, robotics, predictive data mining, fuzzy
 logic and neural network applications in business intelligence and
 industrial controls, image fusion and recognition.  A list of 27
 technical sessions with session chairs are attached below. 

 Please contact me (dan@zaptron.com) if you are interested in serving in
 one of the conference committees (advisory, steering, publication,
 international program committees, see web site for details). We also
 plan to establish the International Society of Information Fusion and
 publish a Journal on Information Fusion in 1999.  Your participation and
 contribution will be greatly appreciated.
