High Level Information Fusion developments, issues, and grand challenges: Fusion 2010 panel discussion

The goal of the High-Level Information Fusion (HLIF) Panel Discussion is to present contemporary HLIF advances and developments to determine unsolved grand challenges and issues. The discussion will address the issues between low-level (signal processing and object state estimation and characterization) and high-level information fusion (control, situational understanding, and relationships to the environment). Specific areas of interest include modeling (situations, environments), representations (semantic, knowledge, and complex), systems design (scenario-based, user-based, distributed-agent) and evaluation (measures of effectiveness and empirical case studies). The goal is to address the contemporary operational and strategic issues in information fusion system design.
