Information Fusion conference is the premier international conference dedicated to theoretical and applied information fusion technologies. FUSION 2025, the 28th FUSION conference will be held in Rio de Janeiro, from July 7-11, 2025, the first ever in South America.

Rio de Janeiro never fails to impress with its modern outlook that reflects its progression through the times of yore. The historic sites, sparkling beaches, green belts and cheerful attitude of the locals attract tourists where heaven meets earth. If Ronaldo played football at the Maracanã stadium, then Christ the Redeemer put Rio on the world map. Rio's carnival, with its energetic samba dancers jiggling their hips, attracts thousands of tourists from around the world. The rain-forests, museums, beaches, gardens and the glitz of the city have made Rio what it is today Brazil's top-notch tourist destination.

The venue is at the center of the touristic zone of Rio de Janeiro in front of some of the most famous beaches - Copacabana. It provides excellent facilities, first-rate service levels, and all the additional amenities expected in major hotels, including easy access to various attractions - such as the Sugar Loaf, Christ the Redeemer, beaches and so much more.

In addition to the numerous attractions and activities located in the South Zone of Rio, Rio has much more to offer. From the pitoresc neighborhoods of Santa Teresa to Maracanã Stadium, from Gigoia Island to beautiful art museums, from Samba Schools to Lapa passing through the Royal Gabinet of Literature (one of the most beautiful libraries in the world) and the beaches of Barra da Tijuca.

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 following 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 here, to be considered for acceptance and publication.

SPECIFIC TOPICS of interest include but are not limited to:
Theory and Representation:
Probability theory, Bayesian inference, argumentation, belief functions, possibility and fuzzy set theory, rough sets, logic fusion, preference aggregation, decision theory, random sets, finite point processes and others.

Algorithms:
