About

Since its launch in 2013, the OpenSky Network has quickly evolved to a large-scale air traffic control data collection and sharing platform. With more than 4500 sensors registered across the globe and more than 25000 users, the OpenSky Network is greatly contributing towards the vision of a more efficient, secure, and reliable operation of the airspace by providing open accessibility of air traffic control data to the public.

Following the successful events in past years, we are proud to announce the 10th OpenSky Symposium. The two-day event will be hosted by TU Delft (Netherlands) in November 2022. Since the 8th iteration, the Symposium is also supported by the Performance Review Commission (PRC) of EUROCONTROL. The PRC aims to establish an Open Performance Data platform available in cooperation with Opensky Network and its community and will support the Symposium and some of the most relevant submissions.

The event is targeted at anyone interested in data-based aviation research. The Symposium will serve as a forum to discuss new ideas, the network itself, and research activities around OpenSky. Participants are invited to actively contribute to the program by presenting their projects at the Symposium. In the past years, the symposium attracted a diverse and interesting audience from research, authorities, and industry.

We are principally aiming for an in-person event to foster creative exchanges and discussions. There will be many opportunities to get to know the community during the social activities around the Symposium program.

Submission Guidelines

The EasyChair conference system is used for collecting submissions, providing reviewer feedback, and notifications. Please visit https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=opensky22 for submissions.

The submissions consist of:

  1. Abstract: submissions describing the idea of the work and presentation that will be given at the symposium. Abstracts should have a length of 1-2 pages and are due by September 2, 2022  September 9, 2022 (extended deadline), at 23:59 (UTC-12).
  2. Paper: submissions describing and explaining the work in more detail. Papers should be 6-9 pages long and are due before the Symposium.

Please ensure that your submissions are PDF files of a maximum of 2 pages (Abstract) and 9 pages (Papers), including references and appendices.

Submissions should closely follow the instructions given for the MDPI Proceedings template . We recommend using Overleaf which includes MDPI article template files. Abstract submissions may be anonymous (i.e., papers do not contain author names or affiliations), but author names and affiliations must be part of the paper submissions.

Recommendations for lodging:

These two hotels are located near the main railway station of Delft, where several direct buses can take you to the faculty. It takes around 25 minutes (door-to-door).

There are many other small hotels in Delft, you may check those out on booking.com website. Some hotels provide bikes to rent. You can also rent bikes at some local bike stores. It will take you about 10 to 15 minutes to arrive the faculty by bike from city center. Walking takes about half an hour. However, be aware of possible of very windy or raining Dutch weather in November.
