The 15th IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Sensor, Robot and UAV Networks is organized in conjunction with IEEE ICDCS 2022, the 42nd IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems, which will be held in Bologna, on July 10-13, 2022.
The aim of WiSARN 2022 is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the broad area of UAV and robotic networks. We expect the workshop to be a possible ground of cross-fertilization between academia, industry, and standardization groups, and to provide an original contribution to the state-of-art of research. We also consider the workshop as a perfect arena for participation of young PhDs and Researchers who will receive provocative ideas, visions and guidelines on new potential directions of research on methodologies, techniques, algorithms and multidisciplinary aspects. The workshop has reached its 15th edition. During these years, the WiSARN workshop has been organized in conjunction with many prestigious conferences, always achieving satisfactory results both in terms of submissions and of attendees.
Features:
- Best Paper Award (BPA) sponsored by the Technology Innovation Institute (TII)
- Best-selected papers related to robotic aerial networks will be invited to submit an extended paper to the Special Issue on MDPI Drones journal (approvation pending).
Submission Guidelines
To submit your paper, it is required that the manuscript follows the standard IEEE camera-ready format (double column, 10-pt font) and be submitted as PDF file (formatted for 8.5-11 inch paper) as well as the requirement set by the submission system. Submitted paper must be original and unpublished papers with no more than 6 pages, including bibliography.
The organizing committee of WiSARN reserves the right to not review papers that either exceed the length specification or have been submitted or published elsewhere.
Submissions must include: title; abstract; keywords; authors and relative affiliations with email addresses. During the initial paper submission process, the authors are required to make sure the PDF file and registration page of a paper have the same list of authors and paper title. Be certain to add all authors during the initial paper submission process. Failure to comply with this rule may cause a paper to be withdrawn from the review process.
