***CALL FOR PAPERS***

Dear Researchers/Authors,

You are invited to submit your high-quality research findings to the 6th International Workshop on Wireless Sensors and Drones in the Internet of Things (Wi-DroIT 2024)

*Date:* April 29 - May 1, 2024

*Location:* Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Wi-DroIT co-located with DCOSS 2024

*Website:* https://widroit2024.github.io https://widroit2024.github.io

*Submission link: *TBA**

***SCOPE***

Recently, the rapid development of Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, has highlighted a plethora of emergent applications such as infrastructure inspection and surveillance, smart agriculture, seek and rescue, parcel delivery, communications, and post-disaster recovery. In all these applications UAVs may coexist with ground Internet of Things (IoT) devices. For example, UAVs autonomously perform remote sensing relaying the collected data by the sensors. Additionally, one or more UAVs can collaborate to provide services that require efficient protocols where multiple objectives and constraints need to be considered.

For this workshop, we seek papers that combine the design of algorithms and testbed implementations to develop the theoretical foundations for UAVs as well as the synergies with IoT devices. The numerous emergent applications raised by IoT may require an interdisciplinary approach involving techniques from algorithm foundations and different areas, such as computer networks, artificial intelligence, concurrent, parallel, and distributed computing, security, digital signal, image, and sound processing.
