Second Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Networked Drone and Sensor Applications (DroneSense-AI)
Workshop website: https://sites.google.com/view/dronesense-ai2025 https://sites.google.com/view/dronesense-ai2025
The integration of machine learning (ML) with networked drone and sensor technologies is revolutionizing multiple sectors. This convergence allows drones and sensors equipped with ML algorithms to process vast amounts of data, enhancing autonomous and intelligent operations within interconnected systems. Although this integration drives innovation and efficiency in fields such as agriculture, environmental monitoring, and disaster response, challenges remain, including longer processing times and a lack of standardized integration. These issues, along with the need for distributed processing and coordinated decision-making, highlight the necessity for further advancements to fully unlock the potential of these technologies. Quantum technology represents a promising frontier for addressing these challenges, particularly concerning the computational, communication, and security demands of networked systems. With growing interest from both research and industry communities, the DroneSense-AI workshop seeks to explore and inspire novel ways in which ML can optimize and expand the capabilities of networked drones and sensors. We invite submissions addressing innovations, challenges, and future directions in ML-driven networked drone and sensor systems. DroneSense-AI welcomes original contributions on all aspects of AI applications within this rapidly evolving field.
Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceeding published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library, showing their affiliation with IEEE WoWMoM.

*Submission Requirements*
Authors are invited to submit papers describing original, previously unpublished work not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. Authors must make a good-faith effort to anonymize their submissions. Specifically, the authors should not identify themselves in any content within the paper directly or indirectly (e.g., through references). Where relevant, authors must refer to their previous work in the third person and write as if it were written by a third party. However, authors should ensure that anonymizing their work is not destructive. For instance, the omission of references to papers just because they are the authors' previous work should be avoided, as this could prevent reviewers from finding a related paper for the review. Submissions violating anonymization rules will not be considered for review.
Although submission is double-blind, non-anonymous preprints (on arXiv or other preprint servers) will not lead to the rejection of your paper. Reviewers will be instructed not to actively look for such preprints before completing a first read of your paper, but encountering them will not constitute a conflict of interest.
All submissions are required to comply with IEEE WoWMoM guidelines. Initial submissions for review are limited to seven (7) pages (although 6 pages are preferred) formatted in two-column IEEE conference style with a font size of 10 points or greater. Camera-ready papers should not exceed six (6) pages including figures. One of the co-authors must present each accepted paper at the workshop. For further submission guidelines: see WoWMoM webpage at:https://wowmomconference2025.uta.edu/call_for_papers.html https://wowmomconference2025.uta.edu/call_for_papers.html
Only PDF files will be accepted for the review process, and all submissions must be made electronically through EDAS. Click here to register your paper now!https://edas.info/N33087 https://edas.info/N33087

CCNI 2025 - Cybersecurity of Critical National Infrastructures Workshop co organized with IEEE WOWMOM 2025
Critical National Infrastructures (CNIs) are vital assets for public safety, economic welfare, and the national security of countries. Vulnerabilities of critical infrastructures have increased with the widespread use of information technologies. As CNIs are becoming more vulnerable to cyberattacks, their protection becomes a significant issue for any organization as well as nation. The risks to continued operations from failing to upgrade aging infrastructure or not meeting mandated regulatory regimes are considered higher given the demonstrable impact of such circumstances.
Due to the rapid increase of sophisticated cyber threats targeting critical infrastructures with significant destructive effects, the cyber security of CNIs has become an agenda item for academics, practitioners, and policy makers. A holistic view which covers technical, policy, human, and behavioral aspects is essential to handle cyber security effectively. Moreover, the ability to attribute crimes to criminals is a vital element of avoiding impunity in cyberspace.
In this workshop, both research and practical aspects of cyber security considerations in critical infrastructures are of interest. Aligned with the interdisciplinary nature of cyber security, authors from academia, government, and industry are welcome to contribute.
