| Abstract | An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is an aircraft without onboard human pilot, which motion can be remotely and / or autonomously controlled. Using multiple UAVs, i.e. a fleet, offers various advantages compared to the single UAV scenario, such as longer mission duration, bigger mission area or the load balancing of the mission payload. For collaboration purposes, it is assumed that the UAVs are equipped with ad hoc communication capabilities and thus form a special case of mobile ad hoc networks. However, the coordination of one or more fleets of UAVs, in order to fulfill collaborative missions, raises multiples issues in particular when UAVs are required to act in an autonomous fashion. Thus, we propose a decentralised and localised algorithm to control the mobility of the UAVs. This algorithm is designed to perform surveillance missions with network connectivity constraints, which are required in most practical use cases for security purposes as any UAV should be able to be contacted at any moment in case of an emergency. The connectivity is maintained via a tree-based overlay network, which root is the base station of the mission, and created by predicting the future positions of one-hop neighbours. This algorithm is compared to the state of the art contributions by introducing new quality metrics to quantify different aspect of the area coverage process (speed, exhaustivity and fairness). Numerical results obtained via simulations show that the maintenance of the connectivity has a slight negative impact on the coverage performances while the connectivity performances are significantly better. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
