The fireworks algorithm, which is inspired from the phenomenon of fireworks explosion, is a
special kind of swarm intelligence algorithm proposed in 2010. Since then, it has been …

Monitoring using drones is not just a civilian and military task, but it also concerns the
agricultural sector, where it can play an important role in the context of smart agriculture. It …

It is challenging to place drones in the best possible locations to monitor all sensor targets
while keeping the number of drones to a minimum. Strawberry optimization (SBA) has been …

In the aftermath of a disaster, the ability to reliably communicate and coordinate emergency
response could make a meaningful difference in the number of lives saved or lost. However …

An unmanned aircraft system (UAS) can use a heterogeneous stereo vision system to detect
and localize other aircraft which may pose a threat. The error in the triangulated location …

Optimal deployment of Drones is considered as one of the biggest challenges that Drone
technology faces. With proper planning of Drones' positioning in the three dimensional …

It is well-known that determining the optimal number of guards which can cover the interior
of a simple nonconvex polygon presents an NP-hard problem. The optimal guard placement …

Fireworks Algorithm has been proposed for almost 10 years. Because of its basic but
profound collaborative searching manner and advantages of universal effectiveness …

With the rapid proliferation of small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), the risk of mid-air
collisions is growing, as is the risk associated with the malicious use of these systems. The …

Adversarial GPS-denial and coordinate spoofing, as well as satellite jamming, serve as
common obstacles to disaster-recovery and military-based teams. While such teams are …
