Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become increasingly important in civil airspace, particularly with their growing use in urban environments. To ensure their safe and efficient operation, especially in very low-level (VLL) airspace, Europe is developing U- space services. U-space refers to a suite of highly digitalized and automated services, integrated either on-board UAVs or within ground control systems. These services facilitate the safe and efficient management of large numbers of UAVs in urban areas. U-space can be viewed as a cyber-physical system, where dependability, security, safety, and resilience are of paramount importance. The U-SPACE workshop provides a dedicated platform for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss the key challenges, latest ideas, and advancements in theory, experimentation, techniques, systems, and tools. The workshop aims to help with enhancing the design, implementation, validation, and evaluation of U-SPACE services, contributing to the safe integration of UAVs into European airspace.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
The selection of papers for presentation and publication will follow the commonly used approach of relying on a committee of specialists in the field. At least three reviews should be provided for each submission.
Accepted workshop papers will be included in the conference Supplementary Proceedings managed by the Conference Publishing Services (CPS) and submitted to Xplore and the CSDL.
