The Ninth ACM International Workshop on
VehiculAr Inter-NETworking, Systems, and Applications
ACM VANET 2012, in conjunction with ACM MobiSys 2012
June 25, 2012, Low Wood Bay, Lake District, United Kingdom
http://www.uwicore.umh.es/vanet2012/
==================================================================================================
Extended submission deadline: March 16, 2012. Due to the change of
venue to MobiSys,
the Committee has decided to extend the submission deadline. Authors
are requested to register
their paper by March 9, although they will be able to make their final
submission until March 16.
Notification of acceptance: April 16, 2012
Camera-ready version due: May 1, 2012
==================================================================================================
Wireless vehicular communications has been identified as a key
technology for increasing road safety and transport efficiency, and
providing Internet access on the move to ensure wireless ubiquitous
connectivity. Based on short- and medium-range communication like DSRC
or Wi-Fi as well as on long-range cellular systems, vehicular
networking will enable a wide range of applications, including safety
applications (e.g., collision avoidance and safety warnings), traffic
applications (e.g. real-time traffic congestion and routing
information), information sharing applications (e.g. media and content
sharing), and other applications and systems involving communication
to and between vehicles. The ACM VANET 2012 workshop intends to cover
a widening range of research topics which are related to vehicular
networking technologies, applications, services and systems.
The great potential of this technology has been acknowledged with the
establishment of ambitious research programs on vehicular
communication systems worldwide, such the current InteractIVe and
eCoMOVE projects within the European eSafety framework, various US
programs derived from the Connected Vehicle projects and the Japanese
Smartway and Advanced Safety Vehicle programs. Vehicular communication
and networking also present a very active field of standardization
activities worldwide, like IEEE (802.11p and 1609.x) and SAE DSRC in
the US, ISO TC204, ETSI TC ITS and CEN WG278 in Europe and ARIB T-75
in Japan, as well as field trials like the Safety Pilot Model
Deployment in the US, simTD in Germany and SCORE at F in France.
The Ninth ACM International Workshop on VehiculAr Inter-NETworking,
Systems, and Applications (ACM VANET 2012) will cover all vehicular
wireless networking aspects using a variety of wireless communication
techniques (from short-range DSRC/WiFi to long-range cellular
communication). The topics not only cover the design and
implementation of vehicular communication systems and applications,
but also include the potential implications on transport efficiency
and safety, systems issues, services, applications, liability issues,
standardization efforts and spectrum assignment.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Channel modeling, modulation and coding
- Congestion control and scalability issues
- Medium access control protocols
- Multi-channel organization and operation
- Communication protocol design and network management
- System architecture and design
- Safety and non-safety applications
- Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication
- Simulation frameworks
- Field operational testing
- Security issues and countermeasures, and privacy issues
- Telematics applications
- Communication related to electrical vehicle charging
- Networking to reduce energy consumption
- Wireless in-car networks
- Systems that reduce driver distraction
- DSRC systems for vulnerable road users (pedestrians, road workers,
bicyclists, etc.)
Submission Instructions:
All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be
in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages (single- or double-column), use
the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates
(http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) and fit
properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable
margins. Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality
through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the
authors are withheld from the reviewers. Authors should omit
self-identifying language, e.g. concerning prior work.
We also strongly encourage the submission of position papers (with a
maximum length of 6 pages) and practice papers (with a maximum length
of 10 pages) (following the ACM Proceedings Templates above). Position
papers will generally include preliminary results and are expected to
describe highly original ideas, discuss new directions, or generate
insightful discussion at the workshop. Position papers can be a good
way to obtain early feedback before submitting complete work to highly
selective venues such as ACM MobiSys and ACM MobiCom. On the other
hand, practice papers will report innovative system design, make
significant observations or provide relevant conclusions derived from
real-world empirical experiences or finalized/ing industrial
research/proof-of-concept projects.
