-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: "QoS Provision in Wireless Sensor Networks" - IEEE DCOSS'10 Datum: Tue, 30 Mar 2010 21:49:19 +0300 Von: Thomas Lagkas <tlagkas(a)ieee.org> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Apologies if you receive multiple copies C A L L F O R P A P E R S QPWSN'10 1st International Workshop on "QoS Provision in Wireless Sensor Networks" http://www.icte.uowm.gr/qpwsn10/ organized in conjunction with The 6th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS '10) 23 June 2010, Santa Barbara, California http://www.dcoss.org/ Important Dates: Manuscript Submission: 23 April 2010 Acceptance Notification: 7 May 2010 Camera ready: 21 May 2010 Scope and Overview: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are a modern kind of wireless networks, where numerous monitoring devices are interconnected to communicate their collected data. The literature has not paid yet enough attention to QoS in WSNs. This is mainly due to the currently unclear purpose and usage of the WSNs, which significantly differ from the traditional networks. However, modern WSN applications require traffic differentiation, guaranteed end-to-end delivery, low delay jitter, and high throughput. The sensors' limited resources and energy autonomy combined with the unreliable wireless medium make QoS support in WSN certainly challenging. Thus, new designs for offering QoS in WSNs are becoming necessary. This Workshop will try to analyze modern methods of providing QoS support in WSNs, explain all related issues, highlight the problems that arise when trying to provide QoS demanding services over wireless networks, present the theoretical background, bring out related solutions given so far, and moreover, exhibit the latest research concepts and relevant ideas regarding near-future implementations. Topics of Interest: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Multimedia transmissions over WSNs - QoS capable routing algorithms for WSNs - Traffic prioritization schemes for WSNs - QoS supportive protocols for medium access control in WSNs - Power saving mechanisms for WSNs - Medical content transfer using sensors for telemedicine - Categorized data communications over environment monitoring WSNs - Novel applications for QoS aware WSNs - Cross-layer techniques for QoS provision in WSNs - Simulation of QoS aware WSNs - Analytical models for QoS aware WSNs Paper submission: Papers are solicited in the IEEE proceedings format with up to eight (8) pages. Papers in PDF format must be submitted via Easy Chair by using the following URL: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=qpwsn10. All submissions must be original prior unpublished work and not under review elsewhere. All papers will be reviewed and selected based on their originality, merit, and relevance to the workshop. Accepted papers must be presented at the workshop, will appear in the DCOSS proceedings and will be included in the IEEE digital library. Please email to the workshop co-chairs if you have any questions. Workshop Co-Chairs: Thomas D.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] CFP: MobiCPS 2010 - The 1st IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Cyber-Physical Systems Datum: Tue, 30 Mar 2010 20:45:16 +0800 Von: Feng XIA <f.xia(a)ieee.org> An: itc(a)comsoc.org, tccn(a)comsoc.org, tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Please accept our apologies if you received multiple copies of this call] CALL FOR PAPERS MobiCPS 2010 - The 1st IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Cyber-Physical Systems http://www.cpschina.org/mobicps In conjunction with UIC2010 Xi'an, China 26-29 October, 2010 We are currently on the brink of a revolutionary transformation from stand-alone embedded systems to ubiquitous cyber-physical systems (CPS) that bridge the virtual world of computing and communications and the real world. Cyber-physical systems are tight integrations of computation, networking, and physical objects, in which embedded devices are networked to sense, monitor and control the physical world. It is believed that CPS will transform how we interact with the physical world just like the Internet transformed how we interact with one another. In particular, there is a trend to build CPS upon wireless and mobile networks as a consequence of unprecedented proliferation of these technologies in recent years. In addition to wireless sensors and actuators, the number of mobile devices that can support wirelessly networked cyber-physical applications has exploded. Some usual examples include smartphones, PDAs, autonomous robots, wearable computers, among others. Ubiquitous applications and services enabled by mobile CPS are opening up great opportunities for improving the quality of our daily life. To fully explore the potential of mobile CPS, however, significant challenges are yet to be overcome. MobiCPS 2010 is an international forum for researchers and practitioners to present innovative ideas and results on all aspects of mobile cyber-physical systems, including theoretical foundations, techniques and methods, tools and platforms, prototypes, and practical applications. Besides research papers, the workshop will feature Invited Talks and a Panel Discussion session. The workshop will be held in Xi'an, China in October 2010, in conjunction with the 7th International Conference on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing (UIC2010) (http://www.nwpu.edu.cn/uic2010/).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: 1st ACM Workshop on Mobile Cloud Computing & Services: Social Networks and Beyond (MCS 2010) Datum: Mon, 29 Mar 2010 17:44:06 -0600 Von: Richard Han <rhan(a)CS.COLORADO.EDU> Antwort an: Richard Han <rhan(a)CS.COLORADO.EDU> Organisation: University of Colorado at Boulder An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG [apologies if you receive multiple copies] MCS 2010 The First ACM Workshop on Mobile Cloud Computing & Services: Social Networks and Beyond Co-located with ACM MobiSys 2010, San Francisco, USA June 15, 2010 http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~rhan/MCS2010.html with support from Nokia and Intel DESCRIPTION Mobile phone applications are exploding in popularity, and can strongly benefit from services and resources offered by cloud computing, including mobile social networking. This workshop seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the intersection of mobile computing and cloud computing. The scope of the MCS workshop will encompass system and networking topics such as mobile cloud computing platforms and services, mobile social networks, device virtualization, notification services, data mining services and location services. Mobile phone applications demand greater resources and improved interactivity for better user experience. Resources in cloud computing platforms such as Amazon EC2, Microsoft Azure, and Google AppEngine are a natural fit to remedy the lack of local resources in mobile devices. Mobile cloud computing refers to an infrastructure where data storage and data processing happen outside of the mobile device enabling a new class of applications previously not possible, e.g. context-aware mobile social networks. Mobile cloud computing is poised to become a disruptive force in the mobile world. While prior work on thin client related research is relevant, the availability of cloud computing resources on a pay-as-you-go basis, the paradigm shift introduced by social networks, the advances in virtualization, the emergence of LTE and WiMAX, IEEE 802.11n and 60 GHz, and mobile application programming platforms create a rich new set of research challenges and opportunities. Suggested topics for paper submissions include but are not limited to: • Mobile cloud computing programming model • Mobile social networks: applications and experiences, system design and architecture • Data services and architectures • Cloud-assisted energy management of mobile devices • Mobile device virtualization • Fairness and isolation of mobile devices in the cloud • Large scale mobile cloud applications • Data privacy and security • High availability and reliability • Economic considerations in offering mobile cloud computing services • Distribution of resources and computation between mobile devices and the cloud • Data mining and machine learning in mobile cloud computing • Context-aware services and computing IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission deadline: April 2, 2010 by 11:55 pm ET Notification of acceptance: May 3, 2010 Final camera-ready paper: May 17, 2010 SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Authors are invited to submit original papers that are not being considered for publication in any other forum. Manuscripts would be submitted in PDF format using the ACM camera-ready templates available at http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html.

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier) SI on IEEE 802.11e, p protocol families
by Lars Wolf 29 Mar '10

29 Mar '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier) SI on IEEE 802.11e, p protocol families Datum: Mon, 29 Mar 2010 09:09:25 -0400 Von: Vojislav Misic <vmisic(a)ryerson.ca> An: <Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS A SPECIAL ISSUE of Ad Hoc Networks journal on "Recent advances in analysis and deployment of IEEE 802.11e and IEEE 802.11p protocol families" Guest editors: Jelena Misic, Ryerson University Vojislav B. Misic, Ryerson University INTRODUCTION ============ In the past several years, analysis of various aspects of IEEE 802.11e has resulted in large number of contributions. Researchers have addressed saturation and non-saturation conditions of Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) function, internal vs. external contention, Hybrid Coordination Function (HCF), Transmission Opportunity (TXOP), Block Acknowledgement and Admission Control. However, due to the complexity of the standard there are still several areas that are not well investigated and not well understood, including interaction among protocol functions, interaction with higher protocol layers, interaction caused by multi-hopping, and interaction with other wireless technologies such as personal area networks and wireless sensor networks. A related protocol, IEEE 802.11p, is designed for wireless access in vehicular environments (WAVE), with higher layers supported by the recent IEEE standards 1609.1, 1609.2, 1609.3 and 1609.4. IEEE 802.11p differs from IEEE 802.11e in several important aspects, including lack of HCF and TXOP functionality. It is unique because it allows multi-channel operation and aggressive differentiation among traffic classes. Given the non-uniform node density in vehicular applications, it becomes crucial to avoid the saturation regime. Deployment of IEEE 802.11p in VANETs will require one-hop broadcasting as well as unicasting and multi-hop communications; as this will definitely affect all higher layer protocols, their interaction has to be carefully investigated. The main purpose of this Special Issue is to promote further research interests and activities on IEEE 802.11e and IEEE 802.11p protocols. We are interested in analytical, experimental, and systems-related papers in all currently not-investigated aspects of those protocols. TOPICS OF INTEREST ================== Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Multi-hopping with IEEE 802.11e or IEEE 802.11p; - Interconnection between personal area networks/ wireless sensor networks with IEEE 802.11e, and IEEE 802.11p; - Interaction between protocol functions e.g. HCF and EDCA; - Admission control in IEEE 802.11e or IEEE 802.11p with multiple protocol functions; - Interaction of higher protocol layers with IEEE 802.11e and IEEE 802.11p; - Multi-channel operation of IEEE 802.11p (WAVE); - Impact of IEEE 802.11p on infotainment applications in WAVE; - Modeling of Wireless Short Message Protocol over WAVE and interaction with TCP/UDP used for infotainment applications; - Impact of IEEE 802.11p on security functions in VANET. PAPER SUBMISSION ================ Submit full papers via automated paper submission system at http://ees.elsevier.com/adhoc/. Make sure you select "Special Issue: IEEE 802.11e/p" when you reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process.

For many applications, the sensor networks cannot operate in complete isolation. There must be a way enabling a monitoring entity or some end-users to gain access to the data produced by the sensor network, and even to interact with a particular sensor mote to activate/deactivate it, read the sensed value instantaneously, fix some inner parameters, make dynamic code loading into the mote, etc. By connecting the sensor network to an existing network infrastructure such as a local-area network, a private intranet, mobile smart networks, and notably the global internet, gaining remote access to the sensor network would be straightforward. However, many questions need answers, and many challenges must be tackled before such interconnection become effective. Suitability of IP standards must be investigated, as well as the connection architecture. Is it more effective to use fixed gateways? Or is it better to employ a dynamic ad hoc mode where all nodes (or several nodes) cooperatively and alternatively act as gateways. By openly connect a sensor network to other networks new vulnerabilities will take place. An intruder would not need to gain physical access to the network anymore, but it might remotely launch attacks. Security is thus a very important aspect that must be considered. Routing, QoS, and interoperability are also important and challenging issues in the new heterogeneous systems. This workshop is a forum for researchers, academics, and industrials to debate the different issues related to the interconnection of wireless sensor networks, and discuss relevant theoretical and practical solutions. Topics Topics of the workshop consist of all aspects related to the interconnection and integration of WSN to other networks, including but not limited to: - Interconnection architecture aspects - Authentication and security issues - Vulnerability, protection, and fault-tolerance of WSN - Quality of Service (QoS) issues in WSN-based integrated networks - Information processing - Routing protocols for cross networks - Network and transport layer protocols for cross networks - Testbeds for integrated networks - Middlewares - Integrated applications and services for cross networks - Sensor tasking, control, and actuation - Distributed query processing - Integration of Body area networks to WLAN and beyond - In-network processing and aggregation - Connectivity & longevity - Location and time services - Integration of sensor networks and web-based services Submission Guidelines and Policy Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published.

The wide-spread industrial uptake of these sy- stems is however compromised by the abrupt changes and challenging dependability requirements imposed by the highly error-prone and heterogeneous mobile provisioning environment. To overcome the intrinsic limitations of mobile devices and envi- ronments, a variety of research studies have produced supporting methods, proof-of-concept prototypes, and disciplines. However, it is still unclear whether current solutions can satisfy the chal- lenging adaptability and dependability requirements of the emer- ging mobile ubiquitous services, such as mobile social networks, smart urban mobility, wireless control of robots, and healthcare. The ambition and mission of ADAMUS is to put on the foreground all above issues and to foster the exchange of ideas and lively discussion in order: to propose mechanisms to model, design, and develop mobile ubiquitous systems; to devise conceptual models and paradigms for change tolerance; to provide analytical and simula- tion tools to measure system ability to withstand faults and to optimally re-adjust to new environments; to develop scalable, maintainable, cost-effective middleware infrastructures able to support and ease the development of adaptive and dependable mobile ubiquitous services. Building on the success of the last three editions, ADAMUS 2010 aims at serving as a meeting ground and common platform of discus- sion for research and industrial bodies in the field of adaptive and dependable mobile ubiquitous systems. Researchers and practitioners are encouraged to participate with high quality papers able to identify open issues, to discuss the limits and/or advantages of existing solutions, or to propose ori- ginal and innovative techniques for adaptive and dependable appli- cations over mobile environments. The main topics of the Workshop include, but are not limited to the following: - Dependability & adaptation requirements, and open issues for mobile ubiquitous systems; - Design principles, models, and techniques for realizing dependa- ble and adaptive mobile ubiquitous systems; - Context data provisioning and modelling, and context-based in- frastructures; - Context-aware service adaptation for mobile clients; - Frameworks and techniques enabling advanced/demanding applica- tions on mobile ubiquitous systems; - Human-machine interaction and usability; - Multi-device and highly heterogeneous ubiquitous systems; - Cross-layer adaptation techniques; - End-to-end approaches to the quality of experience of mobile services; - Autonomous systems for adaptation and dependability; - Mobile-enabled middleware architectures and mechanisms for heterogeneous wireless networks; - Dependability and scalability of web technologies to ubiquitous systems; - Architectures for resource and network monitoring and adaptation to networks conditions; - Dependability measurement of mobile systems and services; - Experience on real-world applications or prototypes of mobile ubiquitous systems. PAPER SUBMISSION __________________________________________________________________ ADAMUS 2010 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 6 pages in ACM double-column proceedings style. Authors should sub- mit a PostScript or PDF file via e-mail to workshop organizers (macinque(a)unina.it and tim.stevens(a)intec.ugent.be). Acceptance implies that at least one of the authors will register and present the paper. The selection process will involve peer reviews and reviews by program committee members. All papers will be selected for the workshop based upon their originality, techni- cal soundness, and relevance to the field of adaptive and dependa- ble mobile ubiquitous systems.

Cyber-physical systems are tight integrations of computation, networking, and physical objects, in which embedded devices are networked to sense, monitor and control the physical world. It is believed that CPS will transform how we interact with the physical world just like the Internet transformed how we interact with one another. In particular, there is a trend to build CPS upon wireless and mobile networks as a consequence of unprecedented proliferation of these technologies in recent years. In addition to wireless sensors and actuators, the number of mobile devices that can support wirelessly networked cyber-physical applications has exploded. Some usual examples include smartphones, PDAs, autonomous robots, wearable computers, among others. Ubiquitous applications and services enabled by mobile CPS are opening up great opportunities for improving the quality of our daily life. To fully explore the potential of mobile CPS, however, significant challenges are yet to be overcome. MobiCPS 2010 is an international forum for researchers and practitioners to present innovative ideas and results on all aspects of mobile cyber-physical systems, including theoretical foundations, techniques and methods, tools and platforms, prototypes, and practical applications. Besides research papers, the workshop will feature Invited Talks and a Panel Discussion session. The workshop will be held in Xi'an, China in October 2010, in conjunction with the 7th International Conference on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing (UIC2010) (http://www.nwpu.edu.cn/uic2010/). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Theoretical foundations of CPS - Modeling and analysis of cyber-physical interaction - Sensing and actuation policies - Distributed computing and control - Architectures, design methodologies and tools for mobile CPS - Mobile devices and embedded software platforms for cyber-physical computing - Mobile cyber-physical applications and services - Energy-efficient (green) computing and communications - Wireless networking and communications - Wireless sensor networks - Mobile and participatory sensing - Location-based services - Internet of things - Information consensus - Trust, security, and privacy - Validation, testing, and certification - Prototypes, testbeds, practical experiences, and case studies - Emerging applications in healthcare, transportation, automation, environment, etc. IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Paper submissions due: 30 May 2010 Notification of acceptance: 15 July 2010 Camera ready version due: 30 July 2010 Workshop date: TBA SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ----------------------- Authors are invited to submit original papers that must not have been submitted to or published in any other workshop, conference, or journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Last CFPs, JCTA SI on "Wireless Sensor Networks: from Theory to Practice" Datum: Sat, 27 Mar 2010 02:41:15 +0800 Von: Xiao Wendong <wxiao(a)i2r.a-star.edu.sg> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers Journal of Control Theory and Applications (Springer) (http://www.jcta.ac.cn/cta_en/ch/common_item.aspx?parent_id=7&menu_id=200912… <http://www.jcta.ac.cn/cta_en/ch/common_item.aspx?parent_id=7&menu_id=200912…> ) Special Issue on Wireless Sensor Networks: from Theory to Practice Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is characterized by the dense deployment of sensor nodes that continuously observe physical phenomenon. The main advantages of WSN include its low cost, rapid deployment, self-organization, and fault tolerance. WSN has received tremendous interests of various research communities, and significant progresses have been made in various aspects including sensor platform development, wireless communication and networking, application signal and information processing, as well as network performance evaluation and design. Such work has established good foundation for WSN research and development. The research and development of WSNs are stimulated by novel exciting applications. For example, WSNs, particularly the wireless body sensor network, make the old people/patient healthcare monitoring possible in smart home environment, where advanced signal processing algorithms are required to extract medical parameters like heart beat rate from raw sensor measurements such as ECG signal, estimation algorithms are required for occupant location and motion tracking, and machine learning algorithms are required for occupant activity recognition. The indoor environment (e.g., temperature and humidity) can be monitored by ambient wireless sensor network, and help design highly efficient distributed air-conditioning control system to improve the energy efficiency and enhance occupant comfort. Such WSN applications must address a number of key technological challenges induced by limited network resources such as node energy and network bandwidth. As a result, the application algorithms should be resource constrained and the network protocols should be application-driven. Advanced closed-loop system can be expected as an integrated system solution to link the application algorithms and the lower layer networking protocols by means of control theoretic or optimization approaches. To be scalable and reliable, such algorithms and protocols should also be distributed in nature via node local processing and collaboration with limited information exchange to achieve complex overall network goal. This special issue is a follow-up of the previous special issue on Networked Sensing, Decision Making and Control in Journal of Control Theory and Applications organized by Lihua Xie and Frank L. Lewis, which received warm responses. Different from that special issue, which mainly addresses the theoretic approaches for WSNs and networked control systems challenged by network uncertainties and limited resources, this special issue will be more focused on novel real WSN applications and application-driven research and development. Papers with real practices on platform development, network deployment, and system operational lessons or experience are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: · WSN theoretic approaches: - Distributed and collaborative signal processing - Target detection, classification, and tracking - Network modeling and optimization - Sensor tasking, control, and actuation - Coverage and topology control - Adaptive and mobile sampling - Consensus estimation and cooperation · WSN applications: - Healthcare monitoring - Environment monitoring - Surveillance system - Networked manufacturing system - Structural health monitoring; - Cognitive sensing and spectrum management - Military and battlefield applications All the submissions will be subject to peer review in accordance with the standard review procedures of the Journal of Control Theory and Applications.

These nodes are deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics, seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain management. Real-world sensor network deployments and prototypic implementations are still not commonplace. However, experiences gained in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research community. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanisms for sensor networks. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. We expect the workshop to act as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications Innovative sensor network applications Participatory sensing Middleware support for sensor networks Programming and debugging sensor networks Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks Experiences with new sensor hardware Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization Experiences with communication protocols Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime Configuration and installation support Management of large-scale sensor networks Interconnection between IP and sensor networks Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Explore Digital Library. SUBMISSION: FULL PAPERS: Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM VANET 2010 (new deadline Apr 23) Datum: Wed, 24 Mar 2010 14:25:04 -0700 (PDT) Von: Fan Bai <fan_bai(a)yahoo.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu My apologies if you have received multiple copies! 　 ======================== ACM VANET 2010 Vehicle to Vehicle -- Vehicle to Roadside -- Vehicle to Internet The Seventh ACM International Workshop on VehiculAr Inter-NETworking In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2010 Date: September 24, 2010 Chicago, IL, USA Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE http://winlab.rutgers.edu/~fanbai/vanet2010/ 　 Important Dates: Paper Submission Deadline: April 23, 2010 Notification of Acceptance: June 25, 2010 Camera-Ready Deadline: July 15, 2010 The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in the development of vehicular inter-networking (VANET) technologies. Apart from new and original technical research results, this year we welcome papers on organizational and economic models. Based on short- and medium-range communication as well as on cellular systems, vehicular inter- networking will enable vehicular safety applications (including collision avoidance and safety warnings), efficiency applications (e.g.real-time traffic congestion and routing information) and other commercial or public authority applications (high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others). The creation of high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, secure, and privacy-preserving VANET technologies presents an extraordinary challenge for the wireless research community. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular inter-networking in terms of mobility behavior, applications scenarios, and application requirements makes VANET research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking. Furthermore, VANET present a very active field of research, development, standardization, and field trials. Throughout the world, there are many national and international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to VANET. These include research programs like the ones on cooperative systems within the eSafety framework of the European Union, the Intellidrive initiative in the US, Smartway, DSSS (Driving Safety Support System) and ASV (Advanced Safety Vehicle) in Japan, simTD in Germany and SCOREF in France. Standardization is well under way with the activities worldwide in 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. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of vehicular inter-networking (VANET). All submissions must describe original research results, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Channel modeling - Modulation and coding - Power control and scalability issues - Medium access control protocols - Multi-channel organization and operation - Communication protocol design - Safety, efficiency and commercial applications - Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication - Simulation frameworks - Field operational testing - Test methodologies - Impact assessment - Network management - Security issues and countermeasures - Privacy issues - Organisational and economic models 　 Submission Instructions All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages, use the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) and must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. We also encourage the submission of position papers with a maximum length of 6 pages (following the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates above). Position papers will generally include preliminary results and are expected to describe highly original ideas, discuss new directions, or generate insightful discussion at the workshop. Position papers can be a good way to obtain early feedback before submitting complete work to highly selective venues such as ACM MobiCom. Detailed instructions for paper submission will be posted on the VANET 2010 web page at: http://winlab.rutgers.edu/~fanbai/vanet2010/. 　 Organizing Committee General Co-Chairs: Timo Kosch, BMW, Germany Andre Weimerskirch, escrypt Inc., USA Technical Program Co-Chairs: Marc Torrent-Moreno, Barcelona Digital Centre Tecnològic, Spain Marco Gruteser, Rutgers University, USA Publicity Chair: Fan Bai, General Motors Research, USA 　 Technical Program Committee Fan Bai, General Motors Research, USA Eylem Ekici, Ohio State University, USA Tamer ElBatt, Nile University, Egypt Andreas Festag, NEC Europe Ltd, Germany Hannes Hartenstein, University of Karlsruhe, Germany Daniel Jiang, Mercedes-Benz Research & Development North America,Inc., USA Frank Kargl, University of Twente, The Netherlands Timo Kosch, BMW, Germany P.
