In this paper, the deployment of drone base stations to provide higher performance in the cellular networks is analyzed. In particular, we investigate a new mobility model for drone base stations where they can move freely in the network,…

This paper investigates the optimal infrastructure planning and order assignment problem of an on-demand food-delivery platform with a mixed fleet of drones and human couriers. The platform has two delivery modes: (a) ground delivery and…

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have drastically gained popularity in various Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) applications to improve the safety and efficiency of transportation systems. In this context, the combination of ground…

In an era of rapid urbanization and e-commerce growth, efficient parcel delivery methods are crucial. This paper presents a detailed study of the aerodynamics and sensing analysis of drones for parcel delivery. Utilizing Computational Fluid…

The market size of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs, a.k.a drones) can reach up to 10% of the global market value. In particular, drone delivery is one of the most attractive applications. The growing number of drones requires appropriate…

Drones have attracted growing interest in last-mile delivery due to their potential to significantly reduce costs and enhance operational flexibility, particularly in areas of sparse and uncertain demand where traditional truck delivery…

We study the truck-drone cooperative delivery problem in a setting where a single truck carrying a drone travels at constant speed on a straight-line trajectory/street. Delivery to clients located in the plane and not on the truck's…

The advances in virtualization technologies have sparked a growing transition from virtual machine (VM)-based to container-based infrastructure for cloud computing. From the resource orchestration perspective, containers' lightweight and…

The emergence of tethered drones represents a major advancement in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) offering solutions to key limitations faced by traditional drones. This article explores the potential of tethered drones with a particular…

Problem definition: Drones, despite being acknowledged as a transformative force in the city logistics sector, are unable to execute the \textit{last-meter delivery} (unloading goods directly to customers' doorsteps) due to airspace…

Aerial security means performing security-aimed monitoring and surveillance operations with the help of airborne vehicles. This kind of activities suggest that human officers (security organizations, law enforcement, police etc.) would be…

We demonstrate the peer-to-peer impact of drones flying in close proximity. Understanding these impacts is crucial for planning efficient drone delivery services. In this regard, we conducted a set of experiments using drones at varying…

Recently, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), as known as drone, has become an alternative means of package delivery. Although the drone delivery scheduling has been studied in recent years, most existing models are formulated as a single…

This paper is about a new way for programming distributed applications: the service-oriented one. It is a concept paper based upon our experience in developing a theory and a language for programming services. Both the theoretical…
