Abstract
Service delivery is set to experience a major paradigm shift with fast advances in drone technologies coupled with higher expectations from customers and increased competition. We propose a novel service-oriented approach to enable the ubiquitous delivery of packages in a drone-operated skyway network. We discuss the benefits, framework and architecture, contemporary approaches, open challenges and future visioned directions of service-based drone deliveries.
