Embedded devices like > televisions, TV set top boxes, and game consoles have grown beyond their > original functionality to home multimedia systems supporting enhanced > networking (e.g. IP TV and DNLA), and novel user interaction through 3D > displays, and movement detection based controllers. The pervasiveness of > such mobile and embedded devices has given rise to a variety of novel > applications, such as social web applications, enhanced shopping > applications/environments, ad-hoc gaming, context-aware collaborative > computing,participatory sensing, etc. Access to cloud computing > infrastructures further enhances the capabilities of these devices > offering additional opportunities for innovative applications and uses. > > Despite these successes, software development for such devices and > platforms remains largely ad hoc, while interoperability among > applications, devices and platforms is largely elusive. Middleware has a > key role to play in overcoming these problems. However, it still unclear > what are the appropriate middleware abstractions and supporting > infrastructures necessary for such applications. The resource > constrained nature and mobility of such devices place unique > requirements for middleware and necessitate the exploration of novel > programming abstractions, and supporting services, while capabilities > like location and context-awareness open new avenues for radical > approaches in their development. > > In this context, the main workshop themes include, but are not limited > to the following themes: > > * Device platforms > - Virtualization technologies & applications > - Distributed ensembles > - Interaction paradigms and protocols > - Emerging mobile platforms (e.g. Android, IOS) > - Virtual machines > > * Data issues > - Data formats and encoding > - Availability and durability of data in personal networks > - Synchronization of personal devices with other consumer electronics > (e.g. cameras, iPods) > - Data portability > > * Networking > - Emerging wireless technologies and platforms > - Experiences or case studies with new technologies (WiMax, WiBree, > LTE, etc) and devices (MIP, UMPC, wearables, etc) > - Multi-link scenarios: WiFi, Bluetooth, cellular network > - Quality of service and network selection > > * Security and Privacy > - Privacy preservation and identity management for device-to-device > interactions > - Security architectures balancing risk and utility > - Trust management in device ensembles > - Mobile device data security > > * Mobile Web > - Web architectures (REST, Ajax) in pervasive computing > - Context adaptation/management in pervasive computing > - Mobile web scalability and reliability in access > - Content adaptation on mobile devices > - Collaborative search > > * Adaptability > - Context-awareness, location monitoring > - Resource management, cyber foraging, and energy-awareness > - Using cloud infrastructures for computing-intensive tasks and data > storage > - Autonomics and self-* properties > > * Applications > - Healthcare, entertainment, games, mobile TV, smart spaces, > shopping, street navigation, etc. > - Mobile phones in sensor and ad hoc networks > - Application development on mobile and embedded devices > - Programming models > > * Experiences and case studies > - Lessons from deployments > - User experiences and field-trials > - Performance studies > > > Submission > ---------- > > Submissions must not exceed 6 pages and must be formatted using the ACM > proceeding style (see http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html). > Submission implies that at least one of the authors will register and > present the paper.

This is the main reason why VANETs are a very > active area of research, development, standardization, and field trials > throughout the world, in academia, industry, and government alike. These > efforts include, but are not limited to, the e-Safety framework of the > European Union, the IntelliDrive initiative in the US, Smartway, DSSS > (Driving Safety Support System), and ASV (Advanced Safety Vehicle) in Japan, > and others. Standardization efforts include ISO TC204 and IEEE (802.11p and > 1609.x), SAE J2735 in the US, ETSI TC ITS and CEN WG278 in Europe, and ARIB > T-75 in Japan. > > We invite high-quality papers from researchers and practitioners throughout > the world, presenting the new and exciting research results related to the > theory or practice of vehicular ad hoc networks and vehicular > internetworking.
