*Wi-DroIT 2019 – 1st International Workshop on Wireless Drones over
Internet of Things
Santorini Island, Greece
May 29 - 31, 2019
Link: https://widroit2019.loria.fr
in conjunction with the:
15th International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor
Systems ( DCOSS 2019 )
Workshop papers will get 8 pages in the IEEE proceedings, in the same
volume with the DCOSS papers.
Few selected papers will be invited to the special issue " UAV-Based
Applications in the Internet of
Things (IoT) " of Sensors – Open Access Journal (Impact factor: 2.475)
*Important Dates
Abstract Submission: 1st March
Paper Submission: 8th March
Acceptance Notification: 1st April
Camera Ready: 15th April
Early Registration: 10th April
*Scope
For this workshop, we search for papers that combine design of
algorithms, optimization, and test-bed to
develop the theoretical foundations for the drone systems operating in
symbiosis with WSN in IoT
applications. The numerous emergent applications nurtured by IoT may
require an interdisciplinary
approach, involving techniques from algorithm foundations as well as
different areas, like robotics, artificial
intelligence, mathematical modeling. Applications in complex domains
lead to situations where multiple
optimization objectives should be accounted in the proposed solutions.
Decentralized and distributed,
robust and secure algorithms are searched for drones systems that
operate in rapidly-changing, uncertain,
and potentially adversarial environments.
*Topics (Not limited to)
Autonomous WSN via Drones
Topology monitoring of WSN with Drones
Build Remote Sensing Networks in emergency context via Drones
Communication architectures and protocols of Drones over IoT
Modeling and analysis of Drone systems over IoT
Theoretical foundations for communication routing beyond line-of-sight
