DroNet 2021 Call for Papers

The 7th ACM Workshop on Micro Aerial Vehicle Networks, Systems, and Applications Co-located with ACM MobiSys 2021

http://wsslab.org/dronet21/

Robot vehicle platforms, often called “drones”, offer exciting new opportunities for mobile computing. Autonomous cooperative systems, made of intelligent devices (such as drones), may deploy and optimize the network to improve its coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure the best communication performance, reduce energy consumption, and dynamically respond to detected network problems. Innovative solutions are built upon these drone networking primitives to accomplish cost-effective and wide-ranging mission-critical applications, including search and rescue, surveillance, 3D-mapping, 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. We welcome in particular also contributions from interdisciplinary teams to present robotic work or applications focusing on the communication networks enabling the efficient control and context-awareness of teams of unmanned autonomous vehicles/systems with an emphasis on civilian and aerial applications, while related work on unmanned systems working underwater, in space or on the ground is also invited.

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 passive/active 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

Identification and Authentication of Drones

Experimental results of aerial communication

Results from prototypes and demonstrations

Drone testbeds

Applications with non-conventional drones including underwater or ground drones

DroNet invites submission of original work not previously published or under review at another conference or journal. Accepted papers will be published by ACM and considered for the Best Paper Award and/or a Best Presentation Award.

Best Paper Award

All papers will be considered for the Best Paper Award. The program committee will select a number of candidates for the award among accepted papers, and select one or more award papers prior to the conference.

Important Dates

Paper submission due: May 21, 2021 (11.59pm AoE)

Camera-ready papers due: June 11, 2021

Workshop date: TBD
