Final Paper Submission

Paper Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. A submission implies willingness by the authors to register and present their work if the paper is accepted for presentation at the conference. Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore subject to meeting IEEE Xplore’s scope and quality requirements.

Full Papers (between 5 and 8 pages) will be reviewed for acceptance in one or more of the conference topics, typically involving some aspect of information, data or sensor fusion. Submitted papers must be formatted according to the IEEE Xplore template (A4 or Letter Size Paper), provided by IEEE at https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html, to be considered for acceptance and publication.

Author Guidelines

Authors must submit their own original work only.
Authors must not omit the main references done by others and related to their works.
Authors must follow typesetting guidelines (templates) of the FUSION conference (https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html).
Authors must agree with ISIF copyright agreement, once the paper is accepted for presentation.
Authors must employ professional language, and they must avoid excessive verbosity that would dilute the technical clarity.
Authors must comply with the guidelines on the use and disclosure of content generated by artificial intelligence (AI) specified in the IEEE Publication Services and Products Board Operations Manual:
8.2.1 Publication Principles | B. RESPONSIBILITIES OF AUTHORS OF ARTICLES PUBLISHED BY IEEE
10. The use of content generated by artificial intelligence (AI) in an article (including but not limited to text, figures, images, and code) shall be disclosed in the acknowledgments section of any article submitted to an IEEE publication. The AI system used shall be identified, and specific sections of the article that use AI-generated content shall be identified and accompanied by a brief explanation regarding the level at which the AI system was used to generate the content.

The use of AI systems for editing and grammar enhancement is common practice and, as such, is generally outside the intent of the above policy. In this case, disclosure as noted above is recommended.
