Use these templates to prepare the initial papers and final papers

Final paper submission sould be submitted to the CMT site of the MFI'2024 conference before the submission site deadline August 16, 2024. Please note the following:

• The maximum length of the final paper is 6 pages. If you need more space, up to 2 additional pages can be purchased at 50€ (including VAT) per page during registration.
• The submitted files must pass the IEEE Xplore compliance test performed by the PDF Express service. For login and/or registration to the IEEE PDF Express site use conference ID 62651X.
• In order for your paper to be published in the IEEEXplore proceedings, you should fullfill the following tasks:
  • The IEEE copyright form must be submitted during the final paper (camera-ready) upload at CMT. Note that the link is available at submission form of the CMT.
  • At least one author must register using the registration form by the final paper submission deadline and present the paper at the conference.
• In case the you paper is a student paper (i.e. the first author is student) don't forget to mark the the final paper as such upon the submission in the CMT.
• Please download this PDF file of your manuscript and upload it to the CMT submission system.

• Go to the IEEE PDF eXpress website at https://ieee-pdf-express.org
• Click on 'New User' to create your own IEEE PDF eXpress account for MFI 2024 using the Conference ID 62651X.

The Organizing Committee of the 2024 IEEE International Conference on Multisensor Fusion and Integration (IEEE MFI 2024) is welcoming proposals for Special Sessions on the theory and application of multi-sensor fusion and integration. Proposals that address “breaking news” research or topics that go beyond the typical approaches or may be difficult to categorize for the regular sessions are of particular interest.

Each proposal must include:

• the title of the proposed special session,
• a short session abstract, including the significance of the topic and the rationale for the proposed session,
• a list of four or more invited papers including a tentative title, author list, and a short abstract for each paper.
• As a prospective special session organizer, we further invite you to chair your special session yourself as well as support us during the reviewing process.

Special session proposals will be evaluated based on the timeliness of the topic, relevance to the field of information fusion, number of potential papers (assessed from the list of invited papers), as well as the qualifications of the organizers. Once the proposal has been approved, it will be included among the sessions available for authors to submit their papers to.

All papers submitted to a special session will be reviewed through the same review process as the regular papers of the conference to ensure that contributions are of high quality. If a special session has more papers accepted than the schedule can accommodate, some of the papers might be moved to other relevant sessions.

Please submit your proposal by May 5th via e-mail to special-sessions@mfi2024.org.

You may also contact the special session chairs via this e-mail address in case of any question concerning your (planned) special session proposal for MFI 2024.

The Organizing Committee of the 2024 IEEE International Conference on Multisensor Fusion and Integration (MFI 2024) is welcoming proposals for Tutorials on the theory and application of multi-sensor fusion and integration.

Proposals for tutorials may cover the conference's topics of interest as found in the MFI 2024 Call for Papers. Other areas where multisensor fusion and integration are applicable are especially encouraged. Examples include but are not limited to fusion of soft and hard data, deep learning, fusion for cybersecurity, autonomous systems, and robotics. Tutorial length will be 3 hours.

Tutorials should cover a single topic in detail and should present the state of the art about a frontier topic, enabling attendees to fully appreciate the current issues, main schools of thought and possible application areas.

Tutorial proposals should not exceed 2 pages and should contain the following information:

• Title of the proposed tutorial.
• Intended audience and prerequisites for the attendees' background knowledge.
• 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

Proposals should be submitted by May 31st in plain text or PDF, by email to tutorials@mfi2024.org with the subject: 'MFI 2024 Tutorial Proposal'.
