[Francesco Betti Sorbelli]

Wi-DroIT 2020 – 2nd International Workshop on Wireless Drones over Internet
of Things
Marina Del Rey, Los Angeles, CA, USA
May 25-27, 2020

Link: https://sites.google.com/view/widroit2020

in conjunction with the:
16th International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems
(DCOSS 2020)

Workshop papers will get 8 pages in the IEEE proceedings, in the same
volume with the DCOSS papers.

Important Dates
Paper Submission: 15th March
Acceptance Notification: TBD
Camera Ready: 15th April
Early Registration: TBD

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 of
Drones
Communication and networking aspects of cyber-physical systems
Theoretical foundations for parcel delivery using Drones
Drones/UAVS for monitoring network properties (coverage, connectivity) in
emergency
Drones for detecting or discovering events
Facility location problem and Resource Management for Drone systems
4G-5G networks and UAVs
UAV assisted networks
Drones for environment (crop/forest) monitoring
Constraints and multi-objective optimization problems in UAVs
Localization, navigation, and dynamic path planning of UAVs over IoT
Ground Localization with Drones
Cooperative control of multiple UAVs
UAV secure communication techniques
Optimal UAV deployment strategies
High-accuracy navigation techniques
Real-time surveillance techniques
Performance, scalability, energy, and reliability in Drones' systems
Anomaly detection, network monitoring and forecasting
Trust, security, and privacy
Experimental results, simulators and test beds for drone networks
Cooperative Rendezvous for secure drone to drone communications
Secure communication between the drone and the ground networks
