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.
