[DMANET] Call for papers: Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Networked Drone and Sensor Applications- DroneSense-AI 2024

*** Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call
for paper***

*DroneSense-AI 2024- 1st Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Networked
Drone and Sensor Applications*

To be held in conjunction with *SINCONF 2024
(https://www.sinconf.org/sin2024/ )
*17th International
Conference on Security of Information and Networks

*Date & Venue*: 02 December 2024; Fully On-line via Zoom

The integration of machine learning (ML) with networked drone and sensor
technologies is revolutionizing multiple sectors. This convergence allows
drones and sensors equipped with ML algorithms to process vast amounts of
data, enhancing autonomous and intelligent operations within interconnected
systems. Although this integration drives innovation and efficiency in
fields such as agriculture, environmental monitoring, and disaster
response, challenges remain, including longer processing times and a lack
of standardized integration. These issues, along with the need for
distributed processing and coordinated decision-making, highlight the
necessity for further advancements to fully unlock the potential of these
technologies. Quantum technology represents a promising frontier for
addressing these challenges, particularly concerning the computational,
communication, and security demands of networked systems. With growing
interest from both research and industry communities, the
*DroneSense-AI* workshop
seeks to explore and inspire novel ways in which ML can optimize and expand
the capabilities of networked drones and sensors. We invite submissions
addressing innovations, challenges, and future directions in ML-driven
networked drone and sensor systems. DroneSense-AI welcomes original
contributions on all aspects of AI applications within this rapidly
evolving field.
