With the proliferation of sensor technology and ever-increasing amounts of data generated, Information Fusion is critical for combining noisy and possibly conflicting observations from various sensors and actors into actionable, coherent information about the underlying situation. The 27th International Conference on Information Fusion (FUSION 2024) is providing a scientific forum for researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government agencies to discuss the latest advancements on classical model-based and emerging data-driven autonomous methodologies on sensor, data, information and knowledge fusion, new system frameworks, hybrid processing techniques, and the associated challenges at the systemic level, including system design paradigms and issues of system control, management, test, and evaluation.

Venice, Italy, will be home to FUSION 2024. Venice was founded over 1,500 years ago on 117 different islands in the middle of the Venetian Lagoon in Northern Italy. This pioneering city was built on water, and water is totally incorporated into the daily life of its inhabitants.

Venice was one of the most powerful European States for several centuries, giving birth to a unique culture and lifestyle. The waters of the lagoon rise and flood the city on a regular basis, complicating efforts to preserve its architecture, which includes Italian, Arabic, Byzantine, and Renaissance forms.

Today Venice is recognized as part of the artistic and architectural heritage of all humanity. Venice and its lagoon were collectively designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. It is renowned nationally and internationally for its charm and its enchanting landscapes. The visitor arriving in Venice is transported into another world, one of incomparable atmosphere and beauty.

Churches, museums, and art galleries are present in every corner of the city. Venice is a tourist city par excellence, and over the years has perfected its ability to welcome its visitors.

We look forward to welcoming you to Italy.
