Autonomous drone swarms deployed for surveillance, environmental monitoring, and infrastructure inspection must maintain reliable coverage of critical assets despite robot failures. This requires multicoverage: each asset must be observed…
Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of devices that communicate with each other through the internet and provides intelligence to industry and people. These devices are running in potentially hostile environments, so the need for security…
The rapid development of blockchain technology has driven the widespread application of decentralized applications (DApps) across various fields. However, DApps cannot directly access external data and rely on oracles to interact with…
In the Internet of Things (IoT) domain, devices need a platform to transact seamlessly without a trusted intermediary. Although Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs) could provide such a platform, blockchains, such as Bitcoin, were not…
Traditional unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarm missions rely heavily on expensive custom-made drones with onboard perception or external positioning systems, limiting their widespread adoption in research and education. To address this…
The emergence of distributed ledger technology (DLT) based upon a blockchain data structure, has given rise to new approaches to identity management that aim to upend dominant approaches to providing and consuming digital identities. These…
Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) has long been a promising solution for sequential resource management in wireless networks. However, conventional DRL methods are fundamentally limited by their reliance on unimodal policy distributions,…
We propose a capability-based access control method that leverages OAuth 2.0 and Verifiable Credentials (VCs) to share resources in crowdsourced drone services. VCs securely encode claims about entities, offering flexibility. However,…
We propose a novel distributed integrity-preserving framework for storing trust information in crowdsourced IoT environments. The integrity and availability of the trust information is paramount to ensure accurate trust assessment. Our…
Current blockchain-based reputation solutions for crowdsourcing fail to tackle the challenge of ensuring both efficiency and privacy without compromising the scalability of the blockchain. Developing an effective, transparent, and…
Federated Learning (FL) has emerged as a leading privacy-preserving machine learning paradigm, enabling participants to share model updates instead of raw data. However, FL continues to face key challenges, including weak client incentives,…
The advantages of IoT in strengthening commercial, industrial, and social ecosystems have led to its widespread expansion. Nevertheless, because endpoint devices have limited computation, storage, and communication capabilities, the IoT…
When training a machine learning model, it is standard procedure for the researcher to have full knowledge of both the data and model. However, this engenders a lack of trust between data owners and data scientists. Data owners are…
Crowdsourcing refers to the arrangement in which contributions are solicited from a large group of unrelated people. Due to this nature, crowdsourcers (or task requesters) often face uncertainty about the workers' capabilities which, in…
Due to the flexibility and low operational cost, dispatching unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to collect information from distributed sensors is expected to be a promising solution in Internet of Things (IoT), especially for time-critical…
We propose a novel framework for the recommendation of swarm-based drone delivery services based on the consumers preferences. We propose a density-based pruning approach that uses the concept of partnerships with charging station providers…
Post-disaster road assessment (PDRA) is essential for emergency response, enabling rapid evaluation of infrastructure conditions and efficient allocation of resources. Although drones provide a flexible and effective tool for PDRA, routing…
An inherent fragility of quadrotor systems stems from model inaccuracies and external disturbances. These factors hinder performance and compromise the stability of the system, making precise control challenging. Existing model-based…
LLM-powered coding and development assistants have become prevalent to programmers' workflows. However, concerns about the trustworthiness of LLMs for code persist despite their widespread use. Much of the existing research focused on…
The emergence of drones has added new dimension to privacy and security issues. There are little or no strict regulations on the people that can purchase or own a drone. For this reason, people can take advantage of these aircraft to…
