Call for Papers
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or commonly known as drones) have various forms, such as small quad-/hexa-/octo-copters, airplanes, or blimps.
They are novel mobile unmanned autonomous systems organized in standalone or networked teams, and they are increasingly investigated
in various contexts to support human. Recently, applications employing Drones can be extended to a wide range of areas, e.g.,
surveillance, platooning, traffic control, search-and-rescue missions, wild fire monitoring, product delivery, or video taking. Additionally,
drones can also offer the capability to improvise ad hoc wireless networks in case of emergencies. In the course of such missions, drones
can perceive their environment through embedded computing power and a variety of sensors, such as IMU sensors (gyroscopes, accelerometers,
and magnetometer), GPS units, and various types of cameras. However, their all useful applications and perception of environments require reliable
communication systems that are used to share information and coordinate activities among them.
The focus of the workshop will be on dealing with requirements, challenges, constraints, regulations, public safety, theoretical issues,
algorithm/protocol/system design, innovative applications, and experimental results of drones and their communication networks.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
 Communication architectures and protocols for unmanned autonomous vehicles- Drone ad-hoc networks, routing, and hand-over protocol
- Aerial communication protocol design and analysis
- Theoretical analysis and models for drone-based aerial networks
- Delay-tolerant aerial networks
- Positioning and localization
- Swarming and coordination
- Autonomous flight
- Vision and object tracking
- Energy-efficient operation and energy harvesting of drones
- Mobility-awareness
- Safety and regulatory issues
- Mission-critical and/or context-aware solutions
- Emergency applications
- Drone-based surveillance
- Mapping applications
- Smart cities and urban applications of drones
- Security and privacy
- Empirical results of drone testbeds
All papers must be submitted electronically, in PDF format, and uploaded on EDAS. The direct link for paper submission is http://edas.info/N21999.
There are two options for the submissions, either a full paper or a short paper. We decided to allow the submission of short papers in order to accommodate the most recent research outcomes.
The submissions should be formatted with single-spaced, double-column pages using at least 10 pt (or higher) size fonts on A4 or letter pages in IEEE style format.
The maximum number of pages is 6 for full papers and 3 for short papers. Detailed formatting and submission instructions will be available on the conference web site
(http://www.icufn.org).
Submitted papers will be reviewed by the workshop Program Committee and judged on originality, technical correctness, relevance, and quality of presentation.
All accepted papers will appear in the IEEE Xplore Digital library and will be indexed by Scopus and EI Compendex only if at least one of the authors registers at the full
registration rate and attends to present the paper. Also, extended versions of selected papers will be published in the following international journals (SCIE-indexed) as a special
section for the ICUFN 2016.
- Wireless Personal Communications (SCIE)
- International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks (SCIE)
- Mobile Information System (SCIE)
- Sensors (SCIE)
- Journal of Internet Technology (SCIE)
- INFORMATION Journal (Scopus)
- International Journal of E-Health and Medical Communications (Scopus)
- ICT Express
- Recent Advances on Communications and Networking Technology
