In the last few years, Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles (UAVs), have developed rapidly and have been used for emergent applications that range from inspection, surveillance, agriculture, cargo delivery, and communications. The symbiosis between UAVs and Wireless
Sensor Networks (WSNs) started quite naturally: UAVs perform remote sensing, act as data-mule that carry the data collected by the WSN. Evolving WSN in Internet of Things (IoT) devices, single or multiple Drones/UAVs can cooperatively provide services that
require efficient protocols where multiple objectives and constraints should be accounted.
For this workshop, we search for papers that combine design of algorithms, optimization, and test-bed to develop the theoretical foundations for the UAV 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 and different areas, such as robotics, artificial intelligence, mathematical modeling, machine learning. Possible topics are:
Autonomous WSN via Drones
Topology monitoring of WSN with Drones
Build Remote Sensing Networks via Drones
Communication architectures and protocols of Drones over IoT
Modeling and analysis of Drone systems over IoT
Precision Agriculture
Monitoring crops
Controlling bugs in Agriculture
Drones for environment monitoring
Autopilot and UAS autonomy
UAV mission planning, path planning, and scheduling
Parcel delivery using Drones
4G-5G networks and UAVs
Constraints and multiobjective optimization problems in UAVs
Ground Localization with Drones
Cooperative control of multiple UAVs
UAV secure communication techniques
Optimal UAV deployment strategies
Experimental results, simulators and test beds for drone networks
Single UAV Applications
Multi-UAV Applications
Human Rights and Drones
