Final defense of a Doctoral dissertation in the College of Computer Science and Mathematics -Department of Computer Science Department entitled “A Dynamic Model for Measuring Drone Network Resources Consumption Based on Complex Network”

In continuation of the scientific research movement and under the supervision of the Dean of the College of Computer Science and Mathematics, Prof. Dr. Duha Bashir Abdullah

A doctoral dissertation submitted by Ahmed Yaseen Kamel Younis

Supervised by  Asst. Prof. Dr. Basim Mohammad Mahmood

The dissertation includes an approach to design a real-world environment, including geographic features, obstacles, and other features. The simulation environment was modeled as a network using concepts inspired by complex networks. The model and all its properties were embedded in the drone’s memory before it began its missions.

The study addressed the issues of designing automated coverage path planning algorithms for drones by combining concepts inspired by the Boustrophedon and Spiral algorithms, as well as concepts from complex networks. The proposed algorithm and other algorithms were simulated using software tools such as AirSim, Unreal Engine, Anaconda, and the Python programming language.

The study aims to present a framework based on integrating the three automated path planning algorithms with four task scheduling algorithms (First Come First Serve FCFS, Priority, Early Deadline First EDF, Shortest Process First SPF).
