Energy-Predictive Planning for Optimizing Drone Service Delivery
Guanting Ren, Babar Shahzaad, Balsam Alkouz +2
We propose a novel Energy-Predictive Drone Service (EPDS) framework for efficient package delivery within a skyway network. The EPDS framework incorporates a formal modeling of an…
Reactive Composition of UAV Delivery Services in Urban Environments
Woojin Lee, Babar Shahzaad, Balsam Alkouz +1
We propose a novel failure-aware reactive UAV delivery service composition framework. A skyway network infrastructure is presented for the effective provisioning of services in urb…
Immersive 3D Simulator for Drone-as-a-Service
Jiamin Lin, Balsam Alkouz, Athman Bouguettaya +1
We propose a 3D simulator tailored for the Drone-as-a-Service framework. The simulator enables employing dynamic algorithms for addressing realistic delivery scenarios. We present…
Failure-Sentient Composition For Swarm-Based Drone Services
Balsam Alkouz, Athman Bouguettaya, Abdallah Lakhdari
We propose a novel failure-sentient framework for swarm-based drone delivery services. The framework ensures that those drones that experience a noticeable degradation in their per…
Optimizing Drone Delivery in Smart Cities
Babar Shahzaad, Balsam Alkouz, Jermaine Janszen +1
We propose a novel context-aware drone delivery framework for optimizing package delivery through skyway networks in smart cities. We reformulate the problem of finding an optimal…
Service-based Trajectory Planning in Multi-Drone Skyway Networks
Sarah Bradley, Albertus Alvin Janitra, Babar Shahzaad +3
We present a demonstration of service-based trajectory planning for a drone delivery system in a multi-drone skyway network. We conduct several experiments using Crazyflie drones t…
Drone Formation for Efficient Swarm Energy Consumption
Shilong Guo, Balsam Alkouz, Babar Shahzaad +2
We demonstrate formation flying for drone swarm services. A set of drones fly in four different swarm formations. A dataset is collected to study the effect of formation flying on…
In-Flight Energy-Driven Composition of Drone Swarm Services
Balsam Alkouz, Amani Abusafia, Abdallah Lakhdari +1
We propose a novel framework for swarm-based drone delivery services with in-flight energy recharging. The framework aims to enhance the delivery time of multiple packages by reduc…
Autonomous Delivery of Multiple Packages Using Single Drone in Urban Airspace
Seunghyun Lee, Babar Shahzaad, Balsam Alkouz +2
Current drone delivery solutions mainly focus on single package delivery using one drone. However, the recent developments in drone technology enable a drone to deliver multiple pa…
Density-Based Pruning of Drone Swarm Services
Balsam Alkouz, Athman Bouguettaya, Abdallah Lakhdari
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…
Constraint-based Formation of Drone Swarms
Xijing Liu, Kevin Lam, Balsam Alkouz +2
Drone swarms are required for the simultaneous delivery of multiple packages. We demonstrate a multi-stop drone swarm-based delivery in a smart city. We leverage formation flying t…
Service-Based Drone Delivery
Balsam Alkouz, Babar Shahzaad, Athman Bouguettaya
Service delivery is set to experience a major paradigm shift with fast advances in drone technologies coupled with higher expectations from customers and increased competition. We…
Package Delivery Using Autonomous Drones in Skyways
Woojin Lee, Balsam Alkouz, Babar Shahzaad +1
Current drone delivery systems mostly focus on point-to-point package delivery. We present a multi-stop drone service system to deliver packages anywhere anytime within a specified…
Formation-based Selection of Drone Swarm Services
Balsam Alkouz, Athman Bouguettaya
Swarm of drones are increasingly being asked to carry out missions that can't be completed by one drone. Particularly, in delivery, issues arise due to the swarm's limited flight e…
