Scope:
======

With the increasing number of vehicles and rapid development of wireless 
technologies, vehicular communications, networks and systems are becoming 
more and more popular. This area of research is in its early stages and there is 
still much to be done in order to realize the vision of Intelligent Transportation 
Systems (ITS). The aim of vehicular communication systems, and thus ITS, is to 
improve traffic safety, protect environment by reducing traffic congestion and 
fuel consumption, and enable a plethora of new applications such as mobile 
infotainment and location-based services for mobile users. To facilitate both 
safety and non-safety applications, the integration of communications and 
computing technologies into vehicular and transportation systems becomes a 
must. These result in various types of cooperative vehicular communications 
and networks: intra-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), vehicle-to-roadside 
(V2R), and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications.

While many conferences and workshops provide a venue to present and discuss 
vehicular communication, network protocols and solutions, only few research 
works addressed issues related to measurements, modeling and experimentations 
in such systems. So, the primary objective of the WVCN workshop will be to discuss 
the issues related to these themes.  

The focus of this workshop is to serve as a forum to share new ideas/experiences in 
all experimental, measurement and modeling aspects of vehicular communications 
and networks, and facilitate discussions of key unresolved challenges in this area. 
Submitted papers should be original and previously unpublished.
 
Topics of interest:
==============
 
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

? Channel and radio propagation measurement, Modeling, and simulation
? Mobility and vehicular traffic measurement, Modeling, and simulation
? Data traffic measurement, Modeling, and simulation
? Capacity analysis and Modeling
? Modeling MAC, network and transport layer protocols for vehicular networks
? Modeling user demand and telematics services characterization 
? New measurement methodologies and infrastructures
? Innovative measurement methodologies and tools
? Simulation and experimentation of Vehicular Communication Systems (VANET, 
Vehicular Mesh Networks, Cellular- based Vehicular Networks, ...)
? Validation of existing simulation models, and results across different 
testbeds/evaluation methodologies
? Experimental evaluation of telematic applications and services
? Design & evaluation of vehicular testbeds, prototypes and platforms
? Experiences/lessons from recent testbed deployments and measurement campaigns
? Field Operational Testing (FOT) results
? Security and QoS issues in Vehicular Communication Systems
