Call For Papers:
----------------
The goal of this workshop is to give an interdisciplinary overview on recent 
advances in the area of vehicular inter-networking technologies and related 
applications. Over the last few years, significant efforts are being carried 
out by industry, academia and government agencies to improve driving safety, 
increase vehicle traffic efficiency and decrease fuel consumption by exploiting 
vehicular communications and networking technologies. These technologies, which 
are generally referred to as VANET (Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks), include 
Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I), Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communications and 
can be based on short- and medium-range communication as well as on cellular 
systems. This workshop will include and solicit contributions addressing 
technical and research issues, development projects, standardization 
activities, and field trials on VANET technologies and applications. The 
objective is to disseminate state-of-the-art results in this highly active 
research area, to highlight interdisciplinary challenges in the development of 
Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), to share lessons learned from field trial 
experiences and to bring together people from both academia and industry, with 
the goal of facilitating interaction among them to promote further research 
activities and conduct joint research on services such as; advanced traffic 
management, safety control, comfort applications and networking and information 
services for users on the road. Scope of Contributions: Authors are invited to 
submit papers presenting new research results related to the theory or practice 
of vehicular communications and applications. All submissions must be original 
contributions not published or currently under review for another workshop, 
conference, or journal.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Communication protocol design and network management
* Channel modeling, modulation and coding
* Congestion control and scalability issues
* Medium access control protocols
* Multi-channel organization and operation
* Traffic management and flow optimization techniques
* Vehicle or traffic-related smartphone apps
* Safety and non-safety applications
* Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication
* Simulation frameworks
* Security issues and countermeasures, and privacy issues
* Telematics applications
* Electric vehicle applications
* Networking to reduce energy consumption
* Wireless in-car networks
* Systems that reduce driver distraction
* Real-world testbeds

Paper Submission:
-----------------
Authors are invited to submit full papers written in English, with a maximium 
paper length of six (6) printed pages, including figures, tables & references 
in IEEE double-column format. Submissions must present original work that has 
not been previously published, and is not under review elsewhere. All articles 
will be reviewed for scientific quality by the Technical Program Committee and 
external reviewers. Papers must be submitted electronically, in PDF format, 
on-line via the EDAS system (http://edas.info/N14851). Accepted papers will be 
published in the conference proceedings and will appear in IEEExplore. The IEEE 
reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference 
(e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the 
conference, or if the paper proves to be a copy from others (non-original 
work), or it is substantially close to other work presented elsewhere by the 
same author(s).
