SCOPE
Autonomous and human-controlled mobile objects are increasingly  
present in water, land and sky scenarios, becoming an essential tool  
for fully automated or human-assisted missions, services, and  
applications. Smartphones and IoT devices are widespread in our  
cities, creating a hyper-connected society. Groups of autonomous  
vehicles, even flying ones, can perform actions and provide services  
and applications in several application fields, such as environment,  
agriculture, disaster management and recovery, smart cities, smart  
transportation and entertainment. Intelligent vehicles provide new  
smart environments (cities, harbours, factories, offices, homes, etc.)  
with the additional features given by their actuation capabilities,  
which aim at improving, at the same time, the performance of a  
specific mission as well as the performance of the underlying  
communication network. The three different contexts: land, water and  
sky, as well as the integrated contexts, have already gained momentum  
showing the opportunities to provide benefits to our whole society.  
However, to fully exploit this potential, we first have to address  
numerous research issues, to design and develop reliable, green,  
affordable and efficient networking and applications. This track  
focuses on the open research challenges and their practical solutions,  
as well as on the standardization activities and the applications and  
products already existing.
