in conjunction with the:
16th International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems
(DCOSS 2020)
Workshop papers will get 8 pages in the IEEE proceedings, in the same
volume with the DCOSS papers.
Important Dates
Paper Submission: 15th March 2020
Acceptance Notification: TBD
Camera Ready: 15th April 2020
Early Registration: TBD
Scope
For this workshop, we search for papers that combine design of algorithms,
optimization, and test-bed to develop the theoretical foundations for the
drone 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
as well as different areas, like robotics, artificial intelligence,
mathematical modeling. Applications in complex domains lead to situations
where multiple optimization objectives should be accounted in the proposed
solutions. Decentralized and distributed, robust and secure algorithms are
searched for drones systems that operate in rapidly-changing, uncertain,
and potentially adversarial environments.
Topics (Not limited to)
Autonomous WSN via Drones
Topology monitoring of WSN with Drones
Build Remote Sensing Networks in emergency context via Drones
Communication architectures and protocols of Drones over IoT
Modeling and analysis of Drone systems over IoT
Theoretical foundations for communication routing beyond line-of-sight of
Drones
Communication and networking aspects of cyber-physical systems
Theoretical foundations for parcel delivery using Drones
Drones/UAVS for monitoring network properties (coverage, connectivity) in
emergency
Drones for detecting or discovering events
Facility location problem and Resource Management for Drone systems
4G-5G networks and UAVs

High-accuracy navigation techniques
Real-time surveillance techniques
Performance, scalability, energy, and reliability in Drones' systems
Anomaly detection, network monitoring and forecasting
Trust, security, and privacy
Experimental results, simulators and test beds for drone networks
Cooperative Rendezvous for secure drone to drone communications
Secure communication between the drone and the ground networks
