Welcome to Fusion 2011

Welcome to FUSION 2011 and Chicago, one of the most exciting
cities in America. We hope you have a technically rewarding
time at the conference and enjoy all that the city of Chicago has
to offer. Our social activities will highlight a few parts of the
city, but there are many other sites that should be visited. We
chose the Hyatt Regency Chicago because of its location and
ability to serve our conference well. While this flagship Hyatt is
huge in many ways, the West Tower fits our conference size
perfectly. All of the general sessions, parallel sessions, lunches,
and breaks will be on the same level in the West Tower. The
convenience of the Hyatt Regency’s location to Grant Park, the
Navy Pier, shopping on Michigan Avenue, the Chicago River,
Lake Michigan, and the museums couldn’t be better.
The social events schedule includes an “Ice‐Breaker” reception on Tuesday, the Opening Reception on the 99th Floor of
the Willis Tower on Wednesday, and the Gala Banquet in the Grand Ballroom on the Navy Pier on Thursday. There will
be shuttle service to the Willis Tower on Wednesday, and limited shuttle service to the Navy Pier on Thursday. We
anticipate that many of you will want to take the short stroll to the Navy Pier.
This year marks the first ever Fusion 5K Fun Run which will be held Thursday morning. The purpose of this fun run is to
give back to the community which hosts our conference. This year the proceeds from the fun run registration will
benefit Chicago’s Children’s Memorial Hospital Circle of Friends. The Children’s Memorial Hospital is dedicated to the
health and well‐being of all children, delivering pediatric health care, research into the prevention, causes, and
treatment of diseases that affect children, and education for physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals. We are
very excited to be hosting this event and look forward to seeing you at the starting line.
About Chicago Chicago is the “Second City” – that’s the name of a pretty famous comedy club, and it refers to Chicago’s status as
“second” to New York. Chicago used to be the United States’ second‐largest city (presently nine million souls and
another half‐million Cubs fans), but of course Chicago has been eclipsed now by Los Angeles. Chicago is a proud city
with a strong identity. It is the City of Broad Shoulders, the City that Works, and the Windy City.
Chicago is hugely proud of its professional sports teams: football’s Bears, basketball’s Bulls, soccer’s Fire, hockey’s
Blackhawks and baseball’s Cubs. Of course Chicago’s other baseball team is the White Sox. To experience Chicago’s
pride, please join us on Friday night as we go to a White Sox game.
In addition, Chicago is very proud of its food. Tracing its roots to Poland, Germany, Italy – and just plain America –
Chicago’s deep dish pizza, bratwurst, kielbasa, and barbecue are not to be missed. We have tried to offer a selection of
Chicago tastes as part of the daily luncheons and snacks, and also on the menu at our reception and banquet.
Welcome to Fusion 2011

While you are here, there is much to see in Chicagoland (that is what the locals call the extended metro area):
There is upscale shopping and eating along the Magnificent Mile and State Street.
The Hyatt Regency is home to the “Long Bar” – the longest continuous bar in the world.
Navy Pier houses retail stores, restaurants, museums, and an outdoor amusement park.
The Museum Campus is a 10‐acre lakefront park just two miles from the Hyatt Regency, comprising:
o The Adler Planetarium & Astronomy Museum
o The Field Museum of Natural History (where Sue can be viewed—the largest and most complete T. Rex
skeleton in the world)
o The Shedd Aquarium
Other museums include:
o The University of Chicago Oriental
o The Chicago History Museum
o The DuSable Museum of African American History
o The Museum of Contemporary Art
o The Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, the Polish Museum of America
o The Museum of Broadcast Communications and the Museum of Science and Industry
Frank Lloyd‐Wright tour* of Chicago. Lloyd‐Wright, possibly America’s foremost architect, seems to have left a
large legacy in this city.
Frank Gehry’s detailed stainless steel band shell, the Jay Pritzker Pavilion, hosts the classical Grant Park Music
Festival concert series.
o Behind the pavilion’s stage is the Harris Theater for Music and Dance, an indoor venue for mid‐sized
performing arts companies, including the Chicago Opera Theater and Music of the Baroque.
The historic Chicago Cultural Center (1897), originally serving as the Chicago Public Library, now houses the city’s
Visitor Information Center, galleries, and exhibit halls. The building features a 38‐foot Tiffany glass dome.
Grant Park holds Millennium Park. See:
o The reflective Cloud Gate sculpture
o The Buckingham Fountain
o The Art Institute of Chicago
o The park also hosts the annual Taste of Chicago festival. Come early–unfortunately this ends July 3rd.
*We have organized an architectural boat tour. Please see our conference desk for details.
Acknowledgements We believe we have an extraordinary technical program, thanks to the Program Committee chaired by Lance Kaplan
(ARL) and Neil Gordon (DSTO) and their volunteer reviewers. Some numbers: there were 229 members of the Technical
Program Committee (TPC); 371 papers were submitted, and 295 (79.5%) of these were accepted for publication in the
conference proceedings; most papers submitted received three reviews (in all cases at least two), for a total of 1,012
technical reviews. We are especially grateful to our plenary speakers: Dr. Mica Endsley (SA Technologies: “Bringing
Cognitive Engineering to the Information Fusion Problem: Creating Systems That Understand Situations”); Professor
Vladimir Vapnik (Columbia University: “Learning with a Teacher: Learning Using Privileged Information”); and Professor

Vikram Krishnamurthy (University of British Columbia: “Social Learning for Reconfigurable Sensor Networks”). Our
thanks to Plenary Chair Roy Streit from Metron—Roy was also our Awards chair.
As with all FUSION conferences, we have been helped by the many who have organized invited sessions – about 33% of
our papers are in these sessions. These papers were subject to the same strict review process that all the papers receive
as Fusion conferences. We must thank Special Sessions chair David Hall for his hard work in bringing these special
sessions together.
We are indebted to the many people who have helped with this conference. Finance Chair Juan Vasquez has dealt with
the budgeting issues and all payments. Tutorials Chair Dale Blair has put together a strong program of tutorials. Lance
and his Technical Co‐Chair Neil Gordon have had the unenviable task of coordinating the reviews to all the 371
submitted papers. We think that Lance and Neil have put as much work into this conference as anyone. Our
Publications Chair Wayne Blanding has continued his work in putting together a well‐organized Proceedings and
Program. We are not sure if many people who attend conferences know how much time‐constrained work is involved
for that slot, and we have been pleased that he is FUSION Publications Chair–again! Finally, we want to thank Peter
Willett for his support, knowledge base, and humor. We could not have pulled this off without his loyalty and
commitment to us and to FUSION. This is the third time he has been a chair, and most of us are only willing to do this
once.
We have been fortunate to have received financial support from a number of sources. We must begin, of course, with
ISIF and the AESS society from IEEE, our prime co‐sponsors. In addition, ONR, ARL, Raytheon, Vectraxx, and Metron
have all been extremely generous.
Your organizing committee has participated in many of the past FUSION conferences. We have always found these
conferences technically exciting. The FUSION conferences have developed a hard‐earned reputation as a place where
the sessions are always well attended. The audience is engaged and critical, while being professional. Therefore, no one
would send any but their best work to FUSION. However, a FUSION conference is also an experience, and we feel that
technical exchanges are best when they are also social exchanges. We hope that we, in Chicago, will be able to claim
that we have given you both.

Bringing Cognitive Engineering to the Information Fusion Problem: Creating Systems that Understand Situations Mica R. Endsley, SA Technologies Abstract: A great deal of interest has developed in creating computer models that can form an analog of human situation awareness (SA). These tools would be useful for automating some aspects of situation management, or for aiding human operators in the challenge of maintaining situation awareness across large and complex operations. In order to create effective fusion approaches for creating SA out of level 1 data, it is necessary to understand the mechanisms involved in human SA, and to apply analogs of these mechanisms within the architecture to achieve similar functionality. Such an approach has much to offer as a means of overcoming the limits of many traditional algorithmic approaches that fall far short of the goals of the information fusion community in its quest for level 2 and 3 fusion. This presentation will discuss some of the key aspects of human SA that need to be incorporated into computer models of SA, and explore approaches from the field of cognitive engineering for creating the needed computer analogs. Biography: Dr. Mica R. Endsley is President of SA Technologies, a cognitive engineering firm specializing in the analysis, design, measurement and training of situation awareness in advanced systems, including the next generation of systems for aviation, air traffic control, medical, power and military operations. Dr. Endsley received a Ph.D. in Industrial and Systems Engineering from the University of Southern California. Prior to forming SA Technologies she was a visiting associate professor at MIT in the department of Aeronautics and Astronautics and an Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering at Texas Tech University. She has authored over 200 scientific articles and reports on situation awareness, decision making and automation and is recognized internationally for her work in the area of situation awareness. She is a co‐author of Analysis and Measurement of Situation Awareness and Designing for Situation Awareness.
Learning with a Teacher: Learning Using Privileged Information Vladimir Vapnik, Columbia University Abstract: The existing machine learning paradigm considers a simple scheme: given a set of training examples, find in a given collection of functions the one that in the best possible way approximates the unknown decision rule. In such a paradigm a teacher does not play any role. In human learning, however, the role of a teacher is very important: along with examples, a teacher provides students with explanations, comments, comparisons, and so on. In this talk I will introduce elements of human teaching in machine learning. I will introduce an advanced learning paradigm called learning using privileged information (LUPI), where at the training stage the teacher gives some additional information about training examples. This (privileged) information will not be available at the test stage. The problem is to create learning algorithms that due to privileged information require much less training examples to converge to the best possible solution than classical algorithms. I will consider LUPI paradigm for support vector machine type of algorithms and
demonstrate a big superiority of the advanced learning paradigm over the classical one. The new learning paradigm is general; it can be applied to almost any learning problem. Biography: Professor Vapnik gained his Masters Degree in Mathematics in 1958 at Uzbek State University, Samarkand, USSR. From 1961 to 1990 he worked at the Institute of Control Sciences, Moscow, where he became Head of the Computer Science Research Department. He then joined AT&T Bell Laboratories, Holmdel, NJ, where he now continues as a consultant, having been appointed Professor of Computer Science and Statistics at Royal Holloway in 1995. Professor Vapnik has taught and researched in computer science, theoretical and applied statistics for over 30 years. He has published 6 monographs and over a hundred research papers. His major achievements have been the development of a general theory for minimizing the expected risk of losses using empirical data, and a new type of machine learning called Support Vector Machine that possesses a high level of generalization ability. These techniques have been used to solve many pattern recognition and regression estimation problems and have been applied to the problems of dependency estimation, forecasting, and constructing intelligent machines.
Social Learning for Reconfigurable Sensor Networks Vikram Krishnamurthy, University of British Columbia Abstract: Decentralized awareness in a sensor network requires decentralized information processing. The idea is that if each sensor or small group of sensors can appropriately adapt their behavior to locally observed conditions, they can quickly self‐organize into a functioning network, eliminating the need for difficulty and costly centralized control. This talk deals with decentralized information processing and social learning in sensor networks using game theoretic methods. The talk comprises three parts. In the first part, we describe how social learning leads to the remarkable behavior of rational herding, where all sensors eventually end up taking the same action. In the second part of the talk, we illustrate how the theory of global games gives a powerful method for designing decentralized data‐aware sensor activation algorithms in dense sensor networks. We show that the Nash equilibrium of the sensor network has a simple threshold structure and exhibits a remarkable phase transition as more data is collected. In the third part of the talk we describe how decentralized adaptive filtering algorithms with regret matching can be deployed in sensor networks to guide network behavior to a correlated equilibrium. Biography: Vikram Krishnamurthy holds the Canada Research Chair at the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. Prior to 2002, he was a chaired professor at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Melbourne, Australia. His current research interests include computational game theory, stochastic dynamical systems for modeling of biological ion channels and stochastic optimization and scheduling. Dr. Krishnamurthy has served as associate editor for several journals including IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems, IEEE Transactions on Nanobioscience, and Systems and Control Letters. In 2009 and 2010 he served as Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE Signal Processing Society. From 2010 he serves as Editor in Chief of IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing. Dr. Krishamurthy received his Ph.D. from the Australian National University, Canberra.

Ice Breaker Reception Tuesday July 5, 18:00‐19:30, Hyatt Regency Chicago
The Ice Breaker reception will be held at the Hyatt Regency Chicago in the Regency Ballroom C/D. Conference attendees will enjoy wine or beer and a selection of cheeses.
Welcome Reception Wednesday July 6, Starting at 18:00, Willis Tower, Chicago
The Welcome reception will be held on the 99th Floor of the Willis Tower (formerly known as the Sears Tower). Buses will transport conference attendees from the Hyatt Regency to the Willis Tower starting at 17:45 at the West Tower of the Hyatt Regency. Reception will include heavy hors d’oeuvres and an open bar. This will be a spectacular event and is the best vantage point to see the city of Chicago. The Willis Tower stands 110 stories and is the tallest building in North America and the fifth tallest in the world at 1,450 feet. On a clear day, four states – Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin – can be seen from the Skydeck. The tower took three years to build and was completed in 1973. Conference attendees will ascend 103 floors above street level as they visit the brand new Willis Tower Skydeck, which opened in early July 2009.
The new facility features retractable glass bay windows which extend more than 4 feet off the west side of the building, enabling visitors to peer 1,353 feet down over the edge. While experiencing the city from above, conference attendees will enjoy several interactive educational attractions that highlight the iconic landmark and celebrate Chicago sports, architecture, pop‐culture, history, food, music and people.

Conference Banquet Thursday July 7, Starting at 19:00, Navy Pier
The conference gala banquet will be held in the Grand Ballroom at the Navy Pier. Navy Pier is a short walk from the Hyatt Regency. There will be limited transportation (located at the West Tower of the Hyatt Regency) available for conference attendees that do not want to enjoy the short walk to the Navy Pier. The cocktails will begin at 19:00.
Located on Lake Michigan, just east of Chicago’s downtown districts, Navy Pier has been a Chicago landmark since it first opened in 1916. Originally designed as both a shipping and recreational facility, the Pier also served as a military training site during two world wars.
Since the relatively recent ballroom renovation, which restored the space to appear as it did in 1916, conference attendees will revel in the magnificence of the past with all the amenities and services of the present. In fact this venue is equipped with a five (5)‐foot‐high elevated stage, as well as 3,000 Tivoli lights for dramatic ambiance and décor. The 80‐foot‐high domed ceiling features massive beams that arch over the space, adding a bit of architectural interest to the historic facility.
Entertainment for the gala banquet includes the Big Fun! With Jake and Elwood. With horns blarin’ and guitars screamin’, they’ll wear out even the most energetic conference attendee with an incredible combination of musical genres including Motown, Swing, Funk, and Rock and Roll classics from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.
Fun Run Thursday July 7, Starting at 06:30, Hyatt Regency
This year marks the first ever Fusion 5K Fun Run which will be held Thursday morning. The purpose of this fun run is to give back to the community which hosts our conference. This year the proceeds from the fun run registration will benefit Chicago’s Children’s Memorial Hospital Circle of Friends.
The Children’s Memorial Hospital is dedicated to the health and well‐being of all children, delivering pediatric health care, research into the prevention, causes and treatment of diseases that affect children, and education for physicians, nurses and allied health professionals. We are very excited to be hosting this event and look forward to meeting you at the starting line. The first 50 participants will receive a 5K Fun Run t‐shirt.
