SON Figures of Merit (FOM) Model for NAECON/OIS 2015
NAECON (National Aerospace and Electronics Conference) is the oldest and premier IEEE Conference presenting research in all aspects of theory,
design, and applications of aerospace systems and sensors.
For 2015, NAECON is combining with the Ohio Innovation Summit to explore new research and contributions for core intelligent aerospace sensor
integration in the following areas: Innovative Aerospace Technology; Sensory Exploitation; and Trust in Electronics, Cyber and Next-Gen Systems.
The conference will begin a series of “NAECON/OIS Grand Challenge Problems” in the area of ISR surveillance.
This conference is a major forum for researchers, practitioners, and students interested in aerospace systems, and their impact on computing,
information, processing, design, and applications. The topics for paper submission include, but are not limited to, three application areas:
Innovative Information Processing; Sensory Exploitation; and Trust in Electronics, Cyber and Next-Generation Systems.
Application Areas
1) Innovative Information Processing
Radar, Cognitive Signal Processing & Visualization for RF Sensing, Monitor & Optical Surveillance Methods (ATR), Antennas, Navigation, Knowledgebased systems, Bio-Inspired Intelligent Information Processing, and Hybrid Control Systems.
2) Sensory Exploitation
Recent Advances in RFIC Technology, Aerospace Power Systems and Electronics, Photonics, nanoDevices and Advanced Materials, Reconfigurable
Computing, Advanced Terahertz and Millimeter Wave Devices, Multi-Sensor Exploitation/Fusion, Image Exploitation & Identification Algorithms,
and RF and Nonlinear Signal Processing.
3) Trust in Electronics, Cyber and Next-Generation Systems
Collaborative and Distributive Processing, Bio-Inspired Systems and Cyber-Physical Applications, Autonomy and Machine Learning and Quantum
Sensing and Computation, Resource Management, Next generation Cyber, and Information connectivity.
4) Algorithms for Tracking in Aerial Surveillance
Robust visual tracking from aerial platforms, tracking for: wide area surveillance, persistence surveillance, multiple targets, image stabilization, activity
recognition, anomaly detection, object detection, foreground/background segmentation, and/or applications of aerial surveillance
The Grand Challenge Problem will be in the area of pico-satellite system design (See http://www.interorbital.com).
Judging, paper references and terminology should use the “SON” Figure-of-Merit Diagram above.
SUBMISSION PROCEDURES
Prospective authors should submit both a 50-word abstract and a 1000-word summary of their paper. Submission is in electronic form via the
conference website (http://www.naecon-ois.org). Acceptable format is PDF (IEEE Xplore compatible PDF). The paper should identify the
Technical Track and include information about the contact author (name, mailing address, phone, Fax, and email). Authors should obtain all
company and government clearances prior to submission of papers. All papers will be reviewed by the Program Committee. They will be judged
with respect to their quality, originality, and relevance. Upon acceptance of the paper, a full camera-ready paper must be prepared using IEEE PDFExpress and submitted electronically via the conference website. IEEE release forms are required with the final camera-ready paper. Accepted
papers will be published in the conference proceedings, conditional upon at least one author’s advance registration.
Submission requirements are the same for both lecture and poster submissions. Both formats have the same value. Presentation format is chosen by
the suitability the of content to the format and is not a judgment of relative value.
The best student paper will be selected, and a Best Student Paper Award conferred. Nominations will also be solicited for the JOE SCIABICA
INNOVATION AND COLLABORATION AWARD: http://www.udri.udayton.edu/News/2014/Pages/SciabicaAwardwinners.aspx. Other newly
established awards will also be celebrated.
