CALL FOR PAPERS
**********************************************************************************
1st International Workshop on Vehicular Communications and Applications
(VCA 2012)
June 19th, 2012, Ayia Napa, Cyprus
http://secan-lab.uni.lu/vca2012/
**********************************************************************************
In conjunction with Med-Hoc-Net 2012
11th Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking Workshop
Ayia Napa, Cyprus, 19 - 22 June 2012
http://medhocnet2012.cs.ucy.ac.cy/
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
Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and will
appear in
IEEExplore.
