Autonomous Unmanned Vehicles (IAUV 2020)

In conjunction with the IEEE SECON 2020 (https://secon2020.ieee-secon.org/)

June 22-26, 2020, Como, Italy

Website: https://iauv2020.loria.fr/

Submission deadline: March 31, 2020

Notification: April 30, 2020

Camera ready: May 15, 2020

Workshop Day: June 22-26, 2020

Selected authors will be invited to submit an extended version of their 
work to the MDPI Special Issue on « UAV-Based Applications in the 
Internet of Things (IoT) », submission deadline July 15th, 2019.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 


Autonomous unmanned vehicle networks in civil applications are 
considered with increasing interest. Such networks are envisioned to 
consist of wireless sensors, robots and unmanned (aerial, ground, 
underwater) vehicles and are being used in environmental monitoring, 
border surveillance, network provisioning, delivery, construction, 
emergency or disaster assistance. The challenges in the design of these 
networks range from physical control of the vehicles, navigation, to 
communication limitations.Due to diverse and interdisciplinary nature of 
these challenges, algorithms and design principles proposed by 
networking, robotics, control theory, computer vision and artificial 
intelligence research communities will need to be utilized.

IAUV aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the 
design, specification and implementation of architectures, algorithms 
and protocols for current and future applications of autonomous unmanned 
vehicle networks, with a special focus on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) 
or drone networks.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTION

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 


All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality and relevance 
through peer reviewing. To submit your paper, it is required that the 
manuscript follows the standard IEEE camera-ready 
<https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html>format 
(double column, 10-pt font) and be submitted as PDF file (formatted for 
8.5-11 inch paper) as well as the requirement set by the EDAS paper 
submission system. Submitted paper must be original and unpublished 
papers with no more than 6 pages, including bibliography.

The organizing committee of IAUV reserves the right to not review papers 
that either exceed the length specification or have been submitted or 
published elsewhere.

Submissions must include: title; abstract; keywords; authors and 
relative affiliations with email addresses. During the initial paper 
submission process via EDAS, the authors are required to make sure the 
PDF file and EDAS registration page of a paper have the same list of 
authors and paper title. Be certain to add all authors in EDAS during 
the initial paper submission process. Failure to comply with this rule 
may cause a paper to be withdrawn from the review process. Once reviewed 
the listing of authors connected to the paper can NOT be changed.

All accepted papers of SECON (main program and workshops), after being 
presented onsite at the conference, will be included in the proceedings 
to be submitted for publication in IEEE Xplore®.
