As a result, there will be a strong demand for wireless communications and networking to provide information as well as onboard entertainment services to passengers and driver. Vehicular communication is expected to implement a variety of wired and wireless technologies for Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Roadside (V2R) communications. In Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) for V2V systems, communication may experience serious deterioration due to the lack of accurate channel state information and advanced radio-resource-allocation schemes to assign wireless resources to high-speed vehicles. Moreover, communication among high-speed vehicles through cellular communication networks causes frequent handovers and drop-offs resulting in degradation in overall system performance. This motivates researchers to design innovative resource allocation techniques and robust, as well as, fast handover schemes for dynamically changing topologies of VANETs. In VANETs for V2V communications, trust, security, privacy, and reliable routing are major concerns since the network topology changes constantly. Furthermore, physical layer design issues for wireless communications in high-speed mobile environments are also of vital importance to realize its full potential for ITS. All in all, vehicular communications with dynamically changing topologies is a demanding research topic. The goal of this issue is to bring together the state of the art research contributions that focus on vehicular communications and networking. In particular, the topics of interest include but are not limited to · Physical Layer and Propagation Models. · Radio Resource and Interference Management. · Medium Access Control and Routing Protocols. · Information Aggregation and Dissemination. · Positioning and Location Technologies. · Sensor Technologies for VANETs. · Drive-Through Internet and Roadside Infrastructures. · Incident Detection for VANETs. · Trust, Security, and Privacy Issues. · Fast and Reliable Handover and Mobility Management · Vehicle Traffic Models. · Heterogeneous Networking. · Cellular and Satellite Communications for Vehicular Networking. · Cross-Layer Designs and Architectures. · Game Theory Based Protocols and Algorithms. · Green Vehicular Communications and Networking. · Cloud-Based Vehicular Communications and Networking. · Standardization and Development, such as WAVE/DSRC/802.11p · Applications, Case Studies, and Real-World Test Beds. · Business Models and Policies. -------------------------------------------- Submission Format and Guideline: ----------------------------------------------- All submitted papers must be written in English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is not currently under review for any other journal or conference.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: The Third IEEE International Workshop on Vehicular Networking (VON-12) Datum: Sat, 22 Oct 2011 01:05:58 +0800 Von: C.-M. Chou (Jensen) <jensen0915(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ================================================================== Call for Papers The Third IEEE International Workshop on Vehicular Networking (VON-12) http://lens.csie.ncku.edu.tw/VON12/index.html to be held in conjunction with the AINA 2012 Conference that will be held in Fukuoka, Japan, March 26-29, 2012. ================================================================== Aims and Scope --------------- The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in the development of wireless vehicular networking technologies. Based on short- to medium-range communication systems (vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside), vehicular networks will enable vehicular safety applications including collision and other safety warnings as well as non-safety applications like real-time traffic congestion and routing information, high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others. The creation of high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, and secure vehicular networks technologies, though, presents an extraordinary challenge to the wireless research community: a high degree of communication reliability is needed under unfavorable channel conditions. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular networks in terms of mobility behavior and applications scenarios and requirements makes vehicular networks research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking. Topics of Interest ----------------- Original papers addressing applications and architecture, systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Vehicular Networking are solicited. Papers that bring out interesting and novel ideas at an early stage are favored over highly-polish journal-style results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Vehicular mobile ad-hoc networks - Routing protocols for V2V communications - MAC layer technologies - Physical layer and RF level technologies - Antenna technologies - Role of V2V communications in Intelligent Transportation Systems - Safety and non-safety applications - High-speed mobility management - Radio resource management and QoS support - Roadside-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle communication - Algorithms, protocols and systems for data dissemination - Channel modeling - Modulation and coding - Power control and scalability issues - Multi-channel organization and operation - Security issues and countermeasures - Privacy issues - Network management - Simulation frameworks & real-world testbeds Submissions and Proceedings ------------------------------ Authors are invited to submit an electronic version of original, unpublished manuscripts via: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=von12 The manuscript should be written in English and follow IEEE two-column format with single-spaced, ten-point font in the text. The maximum manuscript length is six (6) pages including figures and references. All submitted papers will be refereed by reviewers in terms of correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and quality of presentation.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: MobiHoc 2012- Call for papers Datum: Mon, 17 Oct 2011 09:13:01 -0400 Von: Shweta Jain <SJain(a)YORK.CUNY.EDU> Antwort an: Shweta Jain <SJain(a)YORK.CUNY.EDU> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG Apologies for multiple postings of the same message ****************************** ACM MobiHoc 2012 ******************** Please note that there is just one month until paper deadline The paper submission link is now available on the MobiHoc website. The 13th ACM International Symposium on Mobile Ad Hoc Networking and Computing (June 11 - 14, 2012 Hilton Head Island, SC) ACM MobiHoc is a premier international symposium dedicated to addressing challenges emerging from wireless ad hoc networking and computing. With its highly selective technical program, the symposium will bring together researchers and practitioners from a broad spectrum of wireless networking research to present the most up-to-date results and achievements in the field. We invite paper submissions on mobile ad hoc networks, wireless sensor networks, wireless mesh networks, vehicular networks and ad hoc computing systems, with the focus being on issues at and above the MAC layer. Published papers will present original and novel research addressing theoretical challenges and/or practical issues in the wireless network design. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to the following: *Applications and middleware support *Transport, network, and MAC protocols *Energy efficiency *Location discovery *Cross-layer design and control *Network resilience, fault-tolerance, and reliability *Functional computation and data aggregation *Modeling and performance analysis *Scaling laws and fundamental limits *Network coding *Opportunistic and delay-tolerant networks *Vehicular networks *Cognitive radio networks *Distributed sensing, actuation, control, and coordination *Trust, security and privacy *System design and testbeds *Measurements from experimental systems The symposium specially encourages the submission of exploratory studies that identify new challenges in the network design, innovative services, and applications that may stimulate far-reaching future research. This year's symposium will assign a Best Paper Award among all the papers submitted to the conference. Paper Submission Guidelines: Papers must report new results substantiated by experimentation, simulation, or analysis. All submissions will be handled electronically and must be in PDF format. Paper submissions for regular papers must be limited to 10 pages (US letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches) including text, figures and references. The font size must be at least 10 points. Margin must be 1 inch on all sides. Accepted papers will be published in the symposium proceedings. All submitted papers would be judged based on their quality through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Therefore, authors' names must NOT appear in the paper or in the PDF file. Submitted papers must not be currently under review for any other publication. Before submitting your paper, please check the description of the conference scope. Instructions on paper submission are available on the symposium webpage (http://www.sigmobile.org/mobihoc/2012).

These parts are used to control and organize critical > vehicular systems, e.g. the engine control. In addition, the same > systems are used to control entertainment systems and to offer > navigation aids for the driver. Therefore it appears that IT is an > integral part for the concept and the development of future vehicles. > But one of the biggest problems in integrating computer systems in cars > is given by the typical lifespan of both. > > While vehicles are used for a period of 10 to 15 years, the typical IT > Systems’ lifespan is only just a few years. But new and innovative > services can only be used with modern equipment, which facilitates the > use of fast processing power and a huge range of sensors. For that > reason, a separation of both computer systems and vehicles is unavoidable. > > This separation can be achieved by the use of mobile devices like > smartphones and tablets. Today, smartphones are powerful computers with > constantly increasing processing power. The typical lifespan of a > smartphone is small, making it the perfect solution for services which > require modern computer systems. Furthermore, smartphones and tablets > are equipped with the latest sensors which can be used to develop and > offer new services to the driver and any other car passenger. > > New kinds of services can be explored using both mobile device sensors > and car sensors. Another interesting > research topic is controlling cars by replacing user interfaces with a > mobile device. This workshop intends to > bring together researchers, professionals and practitioners to discuss > and address recent developments > and challenges in realizing the communication between mobile devices and > cars and using this combination for new kinds of services. > > Specifically, we solicit original research contributions in the > following areas: > > * Communication between mobile devices and cars > * Sensor-networks in vehicles > * App concepts and technologies for different mobile platforms > * Controlling vehicle systems with mobile devices > * Innovative services and applications for mobile devices in cars > * Platforms and frameworks for mobile devices > * Location- and track-based services in cars > * Mobile marketing and location-based Advertising in cars > * Seamless communication > > Paper submission > ================ > Papers should contain original material and not be previously published, > or currently submitted for > consideration elsewhere.
