He is the founding Editor-in-chief of the International
Journal on Information Fusion published by Elsevier Science, the very first
journal dedicated to this evolving field. He has offered short courses in the
information fusion arena under SPIE and other conference sponsorships as well
as under individual company/ University/ Organization sponsored on-site
programs.
Dr. Dasarathy was honored as the IEEE Huntsville Section
Outstanding Engineer 1996, IEEE Region 3 Outstanding Engineer for 1997 and a
recipient of the IEEE Third Millennium Medal. He was one of the founding
members of the board of directors of the International Society on Information
Fusion (ISIF) and served on it for three years. He was the guest editor of
Optical Engineering for three special sections on Sensor Fusion. He has been
the organizer and chairman of the annual SPIE Conferences on Sensor Fusion
since 1997 and on data mining since 1999. He was the publicity chair for the
International conferences on Information Fusion - Fusion 1998, Fusion 1999,
Fusion 2001, a member of the executive committee of Fusion 2000, and is a
member of the International Program committee for Fusion 2003. He has organized
and chaired special sessions on Information Fusion and Data Mining at other
conferences including IEEE Decision and Control 1998, International Joint
Conference on Neural Networks 1999, IGARSS 2000, IECON-2000. He has been a
member of the Scientific Committee for the annual workshop on Multiple
Classifier Systems since 2000 including the one to be held in 2003. Most
recently, he was the technical vice-chair for Autotestcon 2002.
Dr. Dasarathy has over 180 open literature publications with
him as primary author in majority of these publications. He is the author of
three IEEE Computer Society Press books: Decision Fusion, Nearest Neighbor (NN)
Norms: NN Pattern Classification Techniques, and Image Data Compression: Block
Truncation Coding. He has also contributed chapters/sections to other books,
latest of which is the handbook on Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery (Oxford
University Press, 2002). His publications have been cited in the literature in
over 400 studies.
