************************************************************************** IEEE/ACM DS-RT 2020 Special Session on Modeling and Performance Evaluation of Drones and UAVs in emergent applications

http://ds-rt.com/2020/sompedu_2020 **************************************************************************

Information: Submission Deadline: June 25th, 2020 Notification Date: July 30th, 2020

Session Chairs: Dr. Abderrahmane Lakas, United Arab Emirates University, UAE

Dr. Chaker Abdelaziz Kerrache, University of Ghardaia, Algeria

Goals of the Session: The computing and wireless communication technologies have gone through expeditious advancements in the recent past, which has brought the dawn of emerging applications that are contributing to our quality of life. Among other technologies, mobile ad hoc networks have played a pivotal role in providing various kinds of applications such as wireless sensor network applications, and intelligent transportation systems. Recently, another term has surfaced referred to as Flying Ad hoc Network (FANET) that incorporates unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones) and fixed infrastructure nodes as communicating entities. Various applications have emerged with the introduction of FANETs, including the shipment of goods, home package delivery, crop monitoring, agricultural surveillance, and rescue operations. This special session will explore modeling and performance evaluation of drones and UAVs in emergent applications. We are looking for contributions that describe novel techniques, new models for energy, communication and path for UAVs, interesting applications etc.

List of Topics: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

· Optimal Dimensioning and Performance Analysis of Inter-Drone;

· Energy, communication, and path modeling of UAVs;

· UAV applications and UAV-based systems;

· Network protocols and communication systems for UAV-based solutions;

· Algorithms and intelligent solutions for UAV-based deployments;

· Sensing solutions based on UAVs;

· UAV swarms and interaction between UAVs and IoT solutions;

· Integration of UAVs in Smart City solutions;

· Real-time application in UAV systems.

Paper Submission Guidelines: Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere. All papers will be reviewed by Technical Program Committee members and other experts active in the field to ensure high quality and relevance to the conference.

At least one author of accepted papers must attend the conference to present its contribution.

Papers should be written in English and should not exceed 10 pages, double column, IEEE style including tables and figures. Note that the regular paper size will be 8 pages, with the possibility to obtain up to 2 additional pages (total 10 pages) by paying a publication fee. A template for IEEE Proceedings style (LaTeX2e and MS Word) can be found at http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates. Only Postscript and PDF formats are accepted.

Papers must be submitted electronically through the EDAS system. The complete list of authors' names must be inserted when registering the paper on the EDAS system. Authors names can be inserted in the paper: that is, the review process is single blind. Authors should check if they already have a login on the EDAS system; otherwise, an account must be created before submitting a paper. If you are not already registered to EDAS please follow the instructions on EDAS registration page (http://edas.info/N26936), where you can login, or you can create a new EDAS user account.
