<br>
GENERAL DESCRIPTION<br>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTION<br>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<br>
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 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paper must be original and unpublished papers with no more than 6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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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Failure to comply with this rule may cause a paper to be withdrawn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. <br>
<br>
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®.<br>
