This emerging field of technology aims to improve safety of passengers and traffic flow, reduces pollution to the environment and enables in-vehicle entertainment applications. The safety-related applications could reduce accidents by providing drivers with traffic information such as collision avoidance, traffic flow alarms and road surface conditions. Moreover, the passengers could exploit an available infrastructure in order to connect to the internet for infomobility and entertainment applications. The increasing necessity of this network is an impetus for leading car manufacturers, research communities and governments to increase their efforts toward creating a standardized platform for vehicular communications. However, VANET?s unique characteristics and special requirements excite new challenges to the research community. To address these challenges in both safety- and comfort-oriented applications, there is a pressing need to develop new protocols and algorithms for channel characterization and modeling, Medium Access Control (MAC), obstacle modeling, adaptive geographical routing to sparse and dense traffic conditions. This special issue aims to theme innovative research achievements in the field of vehicular networks and communications. We are seeking original and unpublished papers. Specific topics include, but are not limited to: - Channel characterization, modeling and simulation - Radio obstacle modeling in urban vehicular environments - Efficient packet forwarding optimization - Congestion control and resource management - Medium access protocols and channel assignments - Adaptive beaconing protocols - Mobility management - Mobility models - Efficient geographical routing adapted to bipolar traffic conditions - Delay tolerant routing protocols - Message dissemination for safety-related applications - Cooperative vehicular communications - Test-beds, case studies, experimental systems and evaluations - Security and privacy issues *Submission* Prospective authors should follow guidelines of the International Journal of Mobile Networks and Applications and the instruction for authors can be found at http://www.springer.com/engineering/signals/journal/11036 *Important Dates* Paper Submission Due: January 30, 2013 Notification Deadline: April 30, 2013 Revised paper Submission: June 30, 2013 Final Paper Submission: August 30, 2013 Publication Date: End of 2013 *Guest Editors* *Dr. Jaime Lloret* Department of Communications Polytechnic University of Valencia Camino de Vera s/n, 46022, Valencia, Spain Email: jlloret(a)dcom.upv.es *Dr. Danda B.
