In cooperation with the specific applied scenarios and projects, this central project aims to capture the generic aspects of information fusion processes across different levels and application domains, addressing the possible technological realizations and platforms underlying information fusion systems which, depending of the nature of the decision processes supported, might need to support, for example, data fusion in distributed, network-based systems (e.g. sensor networks) and might face real-time processing demands (e.g. where fast decisions are required). Consequently, the project spans several levels of the revised JDL information fusion model, from the process refinement level (including sensor management) to sensor data fusion at the lowest level, and tries to capture the interrelations between these levels, and thus also contribute to the further development of the JDL model (or versions thereof) itself. More specifically, this project aims to capture the functionality of information fusion and its technological realization by developing generic methods, algorithms and tools for the use in modeling and implementing information fusion processes and systems. This project is carried out in close interaction with the cgi1 framework and cgi3 infrastructure projects.
