My name is Arbër Parduzi. I was born in August 1993 in Vushtrri, Republic of Kosovo. I finished my primary and secondary studies in Mitrovica, the city where I currently live.
I finished my Bachelor studies in Computer Science and Software Engineering in AAB College, Pristina during years 2012-2016.
I would then take some time working in the industry serving in different roles from Sales to IT roles, where I would gain a new understanding as to how technology fits into real world projects.
I then proceed with my Master studies in AAB College in Computer science after working a few years within the industry, and I graduated in 2022. I was offered a lecturing position which I accepted, and I currently lecture the following subjects: Object-oriented programming, Data structures and algorithms, Computer networks security 1, and Software testing and analysis.
I have always been passionate about technology, languages and working with people.
Drones are becoming a part of our daily lives with each day that passes. Change is inevitable and adjusting to the change is essential for all our technology in order to properly function and guarantee its efficiency and reliability. However, as we have reached a tipping point in drone development, it is crucial that we return into redefining certain steps on how we communicate with drones. For the time being, we mainly communicate with drones through frequencies from 2.4ghz up to 5.8ghz. They have their limitations such as surroundings, objects interfering with drone reception, or altitude. The current approach is to constantly pursue the increase of drone processing power, so the drone itself can handle calculations from the data received by sensors, or even the drone pilot. However, as seen today, that takes a huge cut on the battery. In our case, we will be looking into the available technology today such as blockchain and GPS, discussing a paradigm shift into how drones navigate the airspace.
By integrating blockchain into the process of drone flight guidance, the data inherits blockchain’s security on data tampering, while drones itself benefit from the opportunity of disabling a number of services during flight, leaving them invulnerable to multiple forms of attacks that currently threaten drone flights and their security in the airspace. Most importantly, the drones will be fully equipped to avoid collision, making the airspace a safer operating zone in the process.
Keywords: drone, communication, blockchain, gps, processing power and data
The attendees will learn how integrating blockchain will increase security in air navigation, how drones can effectively avoid collision and optimize performance by distributing their processing workload with help of distributed systems.
