Abstract
Conference Title: 2014 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems (ICCPS) Conference Start Date: 2014, April 14 Conference End Date: 2014, April 17 Conference Location: Berlin, Germany Floods are one of the most commonly occurring natural disasters, and caused more than 120,000 fatalities in the world between 1991 and 2005. Most of these casualties are caused by the lack of a reliable real-time flash flood monitoring system. Given the area to monitor, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) appear as the most promising solutions for this task. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
