Scope and Topics
The 15 th edition of this conference will focus on multimodal networks of autonomous vehicles, which includes underwater, ground, aerial, and space domains. This AdHoc Networks conference is intended to attract researchers interested in interdisciplinary topics including the autonomy,
controls, sensing, communications, computation, networking, and piloting. The distributed and multi-hop nature of ad hoc networking as well as the highly dynamic topology of an ad hoc network from node mobility has introduced many formidable challenges such as scalability, quality of service, reliability and security, and energy-constrained operations for the network. AdHoc networking promises a wide range of applications in civilian, commercial, and military areas including autonomous vehicles, semi-autonomous, remotely piloted, and crewed vehicles. Ad hoc networking also covers a variety of network paradigms including mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), wireless sensor networks (WSNs), vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), airborne networks, underwater networks, underground networks, personal area networks, biologically inspired networks, and home networks, etc.
Tracks:
1.) Communication Support for MANETs
2.) Channel models for multimodal communications
3.) Communication simulation and emulation tools
4.) Real-world applications and demonstrations
5.) Biologically inspired models, communications, and simulation
6.) Drone payload design
7.) Multi vehicle missions and simulation frameworks
8.) Network-enabled Detect And Avoid (DAA) approaches
9.) Distributed models for weather nowcasting
10.) AI and ML for multi-vehicle coordination
11.) AI and ML for multi-vehicle communications
