From time to time, the IF Journal publishes special issues devoted to
specific application areas and/or methodologies as applicable to
information fusion.

Towards this end, the Journal welcomes from the readership, on an
ongoing basis, suggestions on topics that deserves to be covered
under the special issues program.  Topics can be either on role of
information fusion in specific application domains or on the role of
specific methodologies in the information fusion arena. Along with
the suggestions for topics, we would like to receive nominations
(names and supporting biographical details) of candidate Guest
Editors. It is essential that a direct concurrence Email is sent by
the potential Guest Editors being nominated stating that they are
indeed willing to take on this awesome responsibility and put in the
very significant time and effort needed for promoting, developing,
and managing a special issue of a peer reviewed archival Journal.
(In this context self nominations are also permitted for
consideration by the Journal)

The backlog of manuscripts under review process has recently been
reduced thanks to better streamlining of the process with more of the
steps being done online electronically.
Therefore now is a good time for those planning on seeing their work
published in Information Fusion Journal to submit their manuscripts
to get a speedy review. With the new system, your papers are
published electronically online as soon as they pass the acceptance
and proofs stage without having to wait for the hardcopy publication
schedule and the associated backlogs caused by issue size/page
limitations.

Here are some procedural aspects and policy notices regarding
manuscript submission for you information
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The general policy of the Journal requires that the m/s be original
previously unpublished work. Please include with the submission
letter a statement whether this m/s or its equivalent has been
previously published or presented in any forum/form or is currently
under such consideration elsewhere and if so provide full details.
IF AN EARLIER CONFERENCE/WORKSHOP VERSION HAS BEEN PUBLISHED, IT IS
NECESSARY THAT THE MANUSCRIPT IS SUBSTANTIALLY REVISED, EXPANDED AND
DIFFERENT FROM ANY CONFERENCE VERSION AND THE CONFERENCE PUBLICATION
IS INCLUDED AS A REFERENCE. ALSO TO THE EXTENT FEASIBLE IT IS
NECESSARY TO ELIMINATE/MINIMIZE DUPLICATION BETWEEN THIS M/S AND
EARLIER CONFERENCE VERSION. THIS WILL AVOID COPYRIGHT PROBLEMS AS
WELL AS PRESERVE THE JOURNAL REPUTATION AS A VENUE FOR PUBLICATION OF
ORIGINAL WORK OF ARCHIVAL QUALITY.  PLEASE SEND DIRECTLY TO THE
EDITOR AN ELECTRONIC COPY OF THE EARLIER RELATED PAPERS IF ANY TO
FACILITATE THE REVIEW PROCESS.

the Emails you get as a member of this group. You can choose the
appropriate setting at the group website.

Hello group members,
  I am a new member of this group. When Dr. Dasarathy mailed me to join
the group I was thinking how to make this membership a learning
opportunity. Then I thought of initiating a discussion on  the topic
"After RDBMS and Neworking, Data Mining is the next best concept to
influence business strategy." I believe the  statement and I was
thinking   about the discussion. I think in it people can
  talk of the influence of   Data mining in business, they can  site
Data Mining examples   which changed the way conventional business
decisions has been taken   etc. I hope several people with direct
industrial and academic   experiences in Data Mining and Knowledge
Discovery will share there   experiences with others and in the
process we  can learn of Data Mining  and Knowledge Discovery in
modern business  processes.  Please give me your suggestions about the
  discussion; about the
  topic, about the things to be covered in the  discussion etc. I too
intend to contribute in the discussion and request group members to
send me useful references in the net about the topic. I am too
searching and going through them.

Thank you,
Arindam Sett

hi...everyone, our department split into mathematics and computer science on July 1st.

My old e-mail may not be valid for very long so, please use my new UNIVERSITY e-mail which is

tylin@... (the old one using mathcs may not work anymore.

I check my UNIVERSITY e-mail (new one) more regularly, if possible, please use that e-mail address.
