Welcome

International Society of Information Fusion (ISIF) is an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the knowledge, theory and applications of information fusion.  Through our web site, conferences, publications and member services, it is our goal to encourage the exchange of information among information fusion professionals worldwide.

"Information fusion is the synergistic integration of information from different sources about the behavior of a particular system, to support decisions and actions relating to the system. Information fusion includes theory, techniques and tools for exploiting the synergy in the information acquired from multiple sources, for example sensors observing system behavior, databases storing knowledge about previous behavior, simulations predicting future behavior and information gathered by humans."

The Problem of Information Fusion:
"We are drowning in information but starved for knowledge. This level of information is clearly impossible to be handled by present means. Uncontrolled and unorganized information is no longer a resource in an information society, instead it becomes the enemy."
