*15th International Workshop on Wireless Sensor, Robot and UAV NetworksIEEE WISARN 2022*, co-located with* IEEE ICDCS 2022* conference

Website:* https://wisarn2022.nws.cs.unibo.it https://wisarn2022.nws.cs.unibo.it* *Bologna, Italy, July 10 - July 13, 2022*

*Paper submission (extended): March 21, 2022*

Features: -* Best Paper Award (BPA)* sponsored by the Technology Innovation Institute (TII) - Selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version to a WiSARN 2022 Special Issue with the MDPI Drones journal

---------------------------------- Scope of the workshop

Wireless Sensor, Robot and UAV networks are specialized Cyber-Physical Systems made of intelligent devices characterized by the coordination and mobility of nodes that are able to accomplish distributed sensing and actuation tasks. To serve their use cases they employ a broad range of innovative techniques: deploying, repairing, and relocating sensors to optimize network topologies or to balance energy consumption; integrating with mobile networks such as 5G/6G or LEO satellite networks; processing data on the edge or offloading them towards the cloud. The benefits are limited only by imagination.

To this purpose, WiSARN aims at bringing together scientific communities that share this particular research agenda to discuss state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification, and implementation of architectures, algorithms, applications, and protocols for current and future applications of wireless ground robotic and aerial networks.

Features: - Best Paper Award (BPA) sponsored by the Technology Innovation Institute (TII) - Selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version to a WISARN 2022 Special Issue with the MDPI Drones journal
