• Drones and IoT convergence
• Embedding flying sensors and actuators in IoT Infrastructures
• Simulation platforms for drone applications
• Aerial Multispectral Photography
• Drone-based monitoring in search, rescue and disaster management support
• Drone-based environmental and infrastructure monitoring
• Drones in deep-learning loops
• Drones in systems of systems loops
• Formation flying applications
• Beyond the line of sight drone operations
• Business models for drone start-ups

Call for papers and presentations
You can select one of the following 3 types of submissions:
- Full papers (min 6 full pages and up to 12 pages), deadline: August 30, 2021 (Extended: September 7, 2021);
- Short papers (min 2 pages, max 6 pages), deadline: August 30, 2021 (Extended: September 7, 2021);
- Poster / demo summary (min 200 words, max 5 pages), by October 22, 2021.
Please note that some papers submitted as Full Papers can be recommended for publication as Work in Progress. Work in Progress publications are publications of generally good quality, which unfortunately don't get into 43% top of the conference, but still, deserve to be published, but just will get less guaranteed indexing. To increase your chance to get your paper accepted as Full Paper, we recommend submitting it by the Early bird submission deadline, as this way you always will have a second chance to improve the paper and get another round of review.
The Early bird submission deadline: July 30, 2021.
Please note that one person can be a co-author of a maximum of 3 submissions of all types: Submit
