While traditional mobile systems respond to device mobility (such as smartphones), drones allow computer systems to actively control device location, allowing them to interact with the physical world in new ways and with new-found scale, efficiency, or precision. The startup cost to experiment with and build real drone applications has dropped dramatically in recent years, also thanks to technological developments driven by the smartphone industry and the rise of the “makers” and DIY movements. Recent popular applications employing drones are 3D-mapping, search and rescue, surveillance, farmland and construction monitoring, delivery of light-weight objects and products, and video production. DroNet welcomes contributions dealing with all facets of drones as mobile computing platforms, including system aspects, theoretical studies, algorithm and protocol design, as well as requirements, constraints, dependability, and regulations. We are particularly looking for papers reporting on experimental results of deployed systems, summaries of challenges or advancements, measurements, and innovative applications. The primary focus of this workshop will be on civilian applications of drones. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Novel applications of drones - Drone system design and deployment - Drone ad-hoc networks - Micro flying systems - Aerial communication protocol design - Drone operating systems - Programming systems - MAC and routing protocols for drone fleets - Theoretical analysis and models for drone networks - Solutions for sparse and dense fleets of drones - Spectrum and regulatory issues - Mission and context-aware solutions - Drone coordination - Mobility-aware and 3D communication - Delay-tolerant networks and ferrying - Energy-efficient operation and harvesting - Integration of drones with backend systems - Drone-based sensor networks - Positioning and localization - Swarm movement, coordination, and behavior - Autonomous flight - Artificial intelligence techniques for drones - Vision and object tracking - Human drone interaction - Cooperative surveillance, smart cameras and sensors - Acceptance, security, and privacy aspects - Experimental results of aerial communication - Drone testbeds DroNet invites submission of original work not previously published or under review at another conference or journal.

It is in fact a common opinion that, in the near future, our cities will be populated by an incredibly higher number of devices that actively participate to the execution of pervasive and advanced services. Being massively distributed into the environment, such devices may generate, collect, exchange and process big data, provide distributed services, offer computational resources, and cooperate to perform some tasks locally, as well as to delegate their execution to more powerful nodes in the infrastructure or at the network edge. At the same time, citizens roaming around the city may be considered as mobile probes that, by making uses of cyber and physical data accessible by smartphones, will analyze the situation and will produce reports to the community. Furthermore the citizen’s smartphones will actively contribute in creating the communication infrastructure by forwarding data coming from surrounding devices thus partially relieving the communication infrastructure from the heavy burden of the huge amount of data produced in the envisioned scenario. All in all, cities are going to become a new complex ecosystem which has the potentiality to offer many amazing features and support innovative application. Unfortunately, we are still far from the full exploitation of the potentialities offered by such an ecosystem. The communication systems so far developed are mainly conceived to connect people, and they hardly adapt to connect devices. So that, Massive Machine Type Communications represents one of the use cases for the development of the forthcoming 5G cellular system. Also, since every day, new heterogeneous devices are added to and removed from our cities, it is mandatory to develop some framework capable to manage such an high-dynamic systems. In addition, such systems are required to be capable to evolve their functionalities over time, according to changes in their finalities. As a consequence, they should support the possibility to add, update, and remove functionalities depending on the available devices and services. The CoWPER workshop aims to solicit contributions on novel algorithms, methodological studies and experimentations on how to enable the formerly described ecosystem. Specifically, on how devise a city-wide networking and management infrastructure capable to efficiently guarantee communication in the new envisaged ecosystem, to manage the complexity of heterogeneous devices and access technologies, and to guarantee robust, ubiquitous, and secure connectivity over the urban environments. In line with such objectives, original contributions are solicited in topics of interest including, but not limited to, the following: - Models of network components’ interactions on a smart-city - Self-organizing wireless networks for pervasive urban access; - Distributed Sensing and Control in Smart Cities; - Mobile-aware cloud computing models, infrastructures, and approaches for smart cities - Smartphone-based sensing systems, tools, applications in Smart City environments; - Smartphone and mobile systems and applications; - Cyber-physical interactions with smartphones; - Crowd sourcing in smart cities; - IoT architectures and middleware for smart cities; - Novel communication protocols for M2M/MTC Communications; - Device-2-Device Communications (D2D); - Dynamic trust management models for Smartphone based networks and applications; - Cooperation incentive models for Smartphone based networks and applications; - Reliability, Security, Privacy and Trust in smart cities ecosystems; Submission Instructions Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical paper by the deadline of March 10th 2018. Submissions will be accepted through EDAS(Paper submission link: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=24492<https://secure-web.cisco.com/1snqcN8veWOIG-B7ZPW72RyV-YSs5cP0Ic6UeZ7dP6Blqd…>).

The EDAS link to upload papers is available via http://medhocnet18.cnit.it/ Note that we will consider two different categories of papers: - Full papers should describe novel research contributions and are limited in length to eight (8) printed pages. - Short papers should be more visionary in nature and may report on work in progress without completed results. They are meant to present novel perspectives, so as to foster discussion about innovative directions and new points of view. They are limited to at most four (4) pages, but might in many cases be even shorter. Accepted short papers will be included in the proceedings and there will be given (a shorter) time for oral presentation at the workshop. Please note that the full paper and short paper categories target different kinds of contributions. Papers submitted to a category will NOT be moved to a different category: A paper will either be accepted for the category where it has been submitted, or it will be rejected. Full papers will not be “downgraded” to short papers. Therefore, please be sure to carefully assess for yourself prior to submission which is the most suitable submission category for your paper, and to make sure that the presentation in the manuscript is well suited to the aims of this category. No-show policy -------------- Submission to the workshop implies willingness to present. No-shows will be excluded from the proceedings. No-show papers are defined as papers submitted by authors who subsequently did not present the paper in-person (no videos, no remote cast) at the technical meeting. Presentations by proxies are not allowed. No refund of the paid fees can be claimed by the no-show author. Exceptions to this policy can only be made by the Technical Program Chairs of the workshop and only if there is evidence that the no-show occurred because of unanticipated events beyond the control of the authors, and every option available to the authors to present the paper was exhausted.
