In this paper, we study the employment of multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to
monitor Points of Interests (PoIs) in a disaster area, eg, collapsed buildings after an …

In this paper, we study the deployment of heterogeneous UAVs to monitor Points of Interest
(PoIs) in a disaster zone, where a PoI may represent a school building or an office building …

This work examines a UAV-enabled surveillance mission over multiple restricted regions
and aims to determine the optimal UAV trajectory that minimizes the mission completion …

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are widely used as mobile information collectors for
sensors to prolong the network time in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) due to their …

In this article, we investigate multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)-enabled data
collection system in Internet of Things (IoT) networks with time windows, where multiple …

Recently different information and communication technologies are investigated to manage
disasters. Acknowledging disaster resilience, many efforts are commenced to monitor …

Annually, the extreme climate and special geological environments lead to frequent natural
