Fwd: [Tccc] CfP - 5th IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (IEEE WiVEC 2013)
by Lars Wolf 25 Jul '12

25 Jul '12

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP - 5th IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (IEEE WiVEC 2013) Datum: Tue, 24 Jul 2012 18:19:12 +0200 Von: "Schünemann, Björn" <bjoern.schuenemann(a)fokus.fraunhofer.de> An: <Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5th IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications IEEE WiVEC 2013 June 2-3 2013, Dresden, Germany http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2013/ Sponsored by the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. The potential of this technology has been acknowledged with the establishment of ambitious research programs worldwide in Europe, US and Asia. The IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) currently covers through its areas of interest (Mobile Radio, Transportation Systems and Automotive Electronics) all technical aspects needed to make wireless vehicular communications a reality. As a result, the IEEE VTS society decided to establish a technical symposium on wireless vehicular communications co-located with the reputed IEEE VTC conferences. The IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (WiVEC) will cover all wireless vehicular communication aspects of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), vehicle-to-person (V2P) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) communications, including implications on transport efficiency and safety, implications on automotive electronics, liability issues, standardizations efforts and spectrum assignment. After the past successful WiVEC editions in 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011 the fifth IEEE WiVEC symposium will be co-located with the 77th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference 2013 Spring, and will take place in Dresden on the 2nd and 3rd of June 2013. Combined registrations packages will be offered for WiVEC and VTC events. All accepted papers (full length and demo papers) will be included in the VTC 2013-Spring conference proceedings and will be published on the IEEE Xplore database. Note: VTC Fall editions are traditionally located in North America, while VTC Spring is located in other areas of the world. Since WiVEC was originally launched co-located with VTC Fall editions, the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society decided that WiVEC would take place every year and a half in order to ensure that the conference is alternatively co-located with VTC Fall and Spring editions. This resulted in that there was no WiVEC edition in 2009 and 2012. Topics of Interest ------------------ The WiVEC Symposium seeks original papers - not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal - in the area of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), vehicle-to-person (V2P) and vehicle-to-grid (V2V) wireless communications. Vehicular communication areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * RF technologies, antenna design, physical layer and propagation models, spectrum assignment and EMC regulations * Radio resource management and interference management, MAC protocols * Vehicular networking (architectures, ad hoc, cellular and device-to-device, heterogeneous) * Dissemination strategies and data aggregation * Scalability, decentralized congestion control, QoS and cross-layer optimization * Security, liability and privacy * Integration and interworking (sensor network technologies, roadside infrastructure, in-car electronics and embedded systems) * Mobility management, mobility and vehicle traffic models * Digital maps and location technologies * Applications (eCall, eTolling, safety, traffic efficiency, traffic management, green telematics, wireless diagnosis, driver compliance, etc.) * Electric vehicle communication, incl vehicle-to-grid communication * Standards development, business models, policies * Simulation models and tools * Testbeds, testing support, conformance and plug-tests, field testing results * Impact assessment on transport efficiency and safety Submissions ----------- Authors are encouraged to submit full length papers (maximum 5 pages) or demo papers (maximum 2 pages) following the submission guidelines provided at http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2013/ Submission website : http://wivec2013.trackchair.com Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE and will be included in the IEEE Xplore digital library. Important Dates --------------- Submission Deadline : 01 November 2012 Acceptance notification : 11 January 2013 Camera-ready papers due : 21 February 2013 Organizing Committee -------------------- General co-Chairs : Ilja Radusch (Fraunhofer FOKUS) Thomas Benz (PTV AG) Technical Program co-Chairs: Elisabeth Uhlemann (Halmstad University) Andreas Festag (NEC Laboratories Europe) Publicity Chair: Björn Schünemann (DCAITI, TU Berlin) _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Several possible cross-network commonalities have been identified and there’s an emerging line of research that seeks a theoretical underpinning to these commonalities. Collectively these efforts are known as “network science”. This JSAC issue seeks to highlight advances in network science. Topics of interest for this issue include: * Insights from other types of networks that can be applied to communications problems (e.g. applying concepts from biological networks to communications networks); * Aggregate performance of combined networks (e.g. rather than modeling a social network and communications network separately, modeling them as one combined network); * Transmission of information through combined networks (including contagion or cascade effects); * Insights into the strengths and limitations of multi-network studies as applied to communications networks; * Communications network design inspired by network science principles More broadly, the issue welcomes any submission that is clearly applicable to communications networks and incorporates insights from non-communications networks. Prospective authors should prepare their manuscripts in accordance with the IEEE J-SAC format described at: http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html. Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript to: http://edas.info/12217. IMPORTANT DATES Manuscript submission: 15 August 2012 [** EXTENDED DEADLINE (FINAL) **] Acceptance notification: 15 December 2012* Final manuscript due: 1 February 2013 Publication: Q2 2013 *The editorial team hopes to make decisions somewhat earlier to permit some papers to get a second round of reviewing before final submission. The Guest Editors for this issue are: Craig Partridge (Raytheon BBN Technologies) Ananthram Swami (Army Research Lab) Tom La Porta (Penn State University) Richard Gibbens (University of Cambridge, UK) Ching-Yung Lin (IBM) Eiko Yoneki (University of Cambridge, UK) Prithwish Basu (Raytheon BBN Technologies) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
