City planners and traffic operators could use these simulations to explore transportation what-if scenarios, e.g., investment in a new motorway. Driver-level simulation (microscopic) has been shown to be the most accurate approach; however, it is considered too computationally expensive to be deployed in Intelligent Transportation products. Macroscopic simulations on the other hand take into account spatial density and velocity on road segments, and use various flow management methods to propagate the load of vehicles to the next segments. The simplicity of the macroscopic models makes it less expensive in term of processing power required than more complex simulation models. However, they are not as accurate as microscopic simulation models. This special session will explore new advances in these two models (as well as hybrid models) of traffic simulation. We are looking for contributions that describe novel techniques, new applications, interesting applications etc. List of Topics: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Microscopic and macroscopic models; • Discrete and Continuous models; • Discrete and Continuous models; • Traffic modeling and engineering; • Mobility modeling and management; • Automatic performance analysis; • Measurement architectures and systems; • Predictive performance models; • Evaluation and Simulation tools; • Validation through modeling and prototyping. Paper Submission Guidelines: Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere. All papers will be reviewed by Technical Program Committee members and other experts active in the field to ensure high quality and relevance to the conference. At least one author of accepted papers must attend the conference to present its contribution. Papers should be written in English and should not exceed 10 pages, double column, IEEE style including tables and figures. Note that the regular paper size will be 8 pages, with the possibility to obtain up to 2 additional pages (total 10 pages) by paying a publication fee. A template for IEEE Proceedings style (LaTeX2e and MS Word) can be found at http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates. Only Postscript and PDF formats are accepted. Papers must be submitted electronically through the EDAS system. The complete list of authors' names must be inserted when registering the paper on the EDAS system. Authors names can be inserted in the paper: that is, the review process is single blind. Authors should check if they already have a login on the EDAS system; otherwise, an account must be created before submitting a paper. If you are not already registered to EDAS please follow the instructions on EDAS registration page (http://edas.info/N26936), where you can login, or you can create a new EDAS user account. ______________________________________ Anna Maria Vegni, PhD Tenure Track Assistant Professor in Telecommunications COMLAB - Telecommunication Lab Department of Engineering Roma Tre University Via Vito Volterra, 62 - 00146 Rome, Italy e-mail: annamaria.vegni(a)uniroma3.it other: a.v.vegni(a)ieee.org, vegni(a)acm.org web: http://www.comlab.uniroma3.it/newwebsite/index.php?page=vegni ph: +39.06.5733.7357 mob: +39.333.6570348 (or 87873) fax: +39.06.5733.7026 ______________________________________ Anna Maria Vegni, PhD Tenure Track Assistant Professor in Telecommunications COMLAB - Telecommunication Lab Department of Engineering Roma Tre University Via Vito Volterra, 62 - 00146 Rome, Italy e-mail: annamaria.vegni(a)uniroma3.it other: a.v.vegni(a)ieee.org, vegni(a)acm.org web: http://www.comlab.uniroma3.it/newwebsite/index.php?page=vegni ph: +39.06.5733.7357 mob: +39.333.6570348 (or 87873) fax: +39.06.5733.7026 ______________________________________ Anna Maria Vegni, PhD Tenure Track Assistant Professor in Telecommunications COMLAB - Telecommunication Lab Department of Engineering Roma Tre University Via Vito Volterra, 62 - 00146 Rome, Italy e-mail: annamaria.vegni(a)uniroma3.it other: a.v.vegni(a)ieee.org, vegni(a)acm.org web: http://www.comlab.uniroma3.it/newwebsite/index.php?page=vegni ph: +39.06.5733.7357 mob: +39.333.6570348 (or 87873) fax: +39.06.5733.7026 ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Sensor and actuator networks consist of multiple devices that are usually sparsely distributed and need to operate in an autonomic and energy-efficient manner. These networks have been the focus of interest of both academia and industry during the past few years, given their large application scope both in the military and civilian fields, ranging from environmental monitoring, body area networks for healthcare, to vehicular networks for road safety, and support for communications in the battle field. This interest is ever increasing now, with the gamut and diversity of sensors, devices and systems that are being connected to the Internet of Things transforming the way we live and work and making for smart cities and smart industries. Important challenges that need to be addressed include spectrum allocation and technology coexistence, autonomy and self-healing capabilities, and security, to name just a few. The Ad Hoc and Sensor Networking Symposium at GC 2020 aims at providing a forum for sharing ideas among researchers and practitioners working on the state-of-the-art solutions related to Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks. We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of the topics listed below (but not limited to). Topics of interest for the AHSN Symposium include, but are not limited to: - Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks and their Applications - Protocols, architectures and applications for the Internet of Things - Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Communications in Ad Hoc Networks - Standardization for Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks - Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks - Aerial Ad Hoc Networks - Underwater and Underground Sensor Networks - Delay Tolerant Networks and Opportunistic Ad Hoc Networking - Body Area Networks - Nano Ad hoc Networks - Software Defined Networking for Multi-Hop Networks - Ultra-Wide Band Technology for Ad-Hoc and Sensor Networks - Cognitive Radio Networks in Multi-hop Environments - Co-existence Issues of Heterogeneous Ad Hoc Networks - MAC and Routing Protocols for Ad Hoc networks - QoS Provisioning for Ad Hoc Networks - Data Aggregation and Dissemination in Multi-hop Networks - Security, Privacy and Trust issues in Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks - Energy Saving, Power Control and Energy Scavenging for Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks - Cross-layer Design in Ad Hoc Networks - Service Discovery for Multi-hop Networks - Pricing, Modeling and Solutions for Multi-Hop Networks - Performance Evaluation and Modeling of Ad Hoc Networks - Experimental Prototypes and Testbeds for Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks - Crowd Sensing and Crowd Sourcing Networks - Machine Learning and/or Game Theoretical Models for Ad hoc and Sensors Networks - Energy-efficient Design for Green Ad-hoc and Sensor Networks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Symposium Chairs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Vojislav Misic, Ryerson University, Canada Shibo He, Zhejiang University, China Hyunbum Kim, University of North Carolina at Wilmington, USA ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
