In the last few years, Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles (UAVs), have developed rapidly and have been used for emergent applications that range from inspection, surveillance, agriculture, cargo delivery, and communications. The symbiosis between UAVs and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) started quite naturally: UAVs perform remote sensing, act as data-mule that carry the data collected by the WSN. Evolving WSN in Internet of Things (IoT) devices, single or multiple Drones/UAVs can cooperatively provide services that require efficient protocols where multiple objectives and constraints should be accounted.

For this workshop, we search for papers that combine design of algorithms, optimization, and test-bed to develop the theoretical foundations for the UAV 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 and different areas, such as robotics, artificial intelligence, mathematical modeling, machine learning. Possible topics are:

Autonomous WSN via Drones Topology monitoring of WSN with Drones Build Remote Sensing Networks via Drones Communication architectures and protocols of Drones over IoT Modeling and analysis of Drone systems over IoT Precision Agriculture Monitoring crops Controlling bugs in Agriculture Drones for environment monitoring Autopilot and UAS autonomy UAV mission planning, path planning, and scheduling Parcel delivery using Drones 4G-5G networks and UAVs Constraints and multiobjective optimization problems in UAVs Ground Localization with Drones Cooperative control of multiple UAVs UAV secure communication techniques Optimal UAV deployment strategies Experimental results, simulators and test beds for drone networks Single UAV Applications Multi-UAV Applications Human Rights and Drones

Submission deadlines

Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on distributed sensor systems related to Wi-DroIT topics of interest. Please use the US letter size (8.5 X 11 in) standard IEEE conference LaTeX format or Microsoft Word template available on the link below:
