[DMANET] [CFP] Deadline Extended (April 10, 2023 is approaching) - Wi-DroIT 2023 Workshop

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message]

Dear Researchers/Authors,
You are invited to submit your high-quality research findings to 5th
International Workshop on Wireless Sensors and Drones in Internet of Things
(Wi-DroIT) 2023.

June 19-21, 2023 - Coral Bay, Pafos, Cyprus
Wi-DroIT co-located with DCOSS 2023

*Aims and 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.
