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 vehicular wireless communications aspects of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle-to-Person (V2P) communications, including implications on transport efficiency and safety, implications on automotive electronics, liability issues, standardizations efforts and spectrum assignment. After the successful 2007 (Baltimore), 2008 (Calgary), 2010 (Taipei), 2011 (San Francisco) and 2013 (Dresden) editions, the sixth IEEE WiVEC symposium will be co-located with the 80th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference 2014 Fall conference. Combined registrations packages will be offered for WiVEC and VTC events. All accepted and presented papers (full length and demo papers) will be included in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE and will be included in the IEEE Xplore digital library. 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), and vehicle-to-person (V2P) wireless communications.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM CHANTS 2014 (co-located with ACM MobiCom): initial announcement and call for papers Datum: Mon, 7 Apr 2014 17:32:19 +0200 Von: Elisabetta Biondi <chants14_publicity(a)IIT.CNR.IT> Antwort an: Elisabetta Biondi <chants14_publicity(a)IIT.CNR.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ************************************* [Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ************************************* ______________________________________________________________________ ACM CHANTS 2014 - 9th Workshop on Challenged Networks co-located with ACM MobiCom 2014 7 September 2014, Maui, Hawaii, USA www.acm-chants.org/14 Supported by the FP7 EU MOTO project http://www.fp7-moto.eu ______________________________________________________________________ SCOPE AND OVERVIEW __________________ Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is desired, but traditional Internet architectures fail to provide it effectively. Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Traditional examples of challenged networks include inter-planetary networks, sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, rural and remote areas, and military battlefields. Recently, challenged networking has also found applications in everyday settings, for which they were not initially conceived, such as opportunistic networking supporting data-centric communications, traffic offloading from cellular networks, mobile cloud computing, opportunistic and participatory sensing. Inter-disciplinary approaches to challenged networking protocols are also successfully explored, exploiting, for example, findings in the area of social networking. The availability of enabling technologies in mobile devices, such as WiFi direct in Android and D2D communication in latest LTE releases, will further push towards practical developments of challenged networking solutions. This workshop builds on the success of the eight previous CHANTS workshops, and WDTN 2005, to stimulate research on the most novel and challenging topics of challenged network research. CHANTS provides an ideal venue for researchers and engineers to present cutting-edge work and results, as research papers or demos, in the following topics: - Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) - Opportunistic communication and computing - Architecture, design, and implementation of communication systems for challenged networks - Modeling, analysis and characterization of challenged networks and protocols - Network Coding in Challenged Networks - Information Centric and Content-centric Networking in Challenged Networks - Security/Trust/Privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks - Case studies involving real challenged network solutions in various stages of development or use - Applications of challenged networks in disrupted scenarios (e.g. disaster relief and emergency management) and in daily use (e.g., vehicular networks, mobile social networking, censorship evasion, crowdsourcing, sensor networks) - Green and energy-efficient communication using challenged networks - Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments - Network science methods for challenged networks - Mobile data offloading via challenged networks - Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems - Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks - Challenged networking techniques for mobile cloud - Challenged networking techniques for participatory and opportunistic sensing Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship to existing work, and will have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. We aim to have a highly interactive workshop, also including demos, which have been an integral part of CHANTS. Paper authors who can also run a demo of their work will be encouraged to do so. In exceptional cases, where live demos are simply not practical to present, poster or video presentations of practical results are acceptable. PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ________________________________________ Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently under review by another conference or journal. Submitted papers must be no more than 6 pages long, and should adhere to the standard ACM conference proceedings format. Demo proposals (to be published as part of the proceedings) must not be longer than 3 pages plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements (the 1-page setup description will not be published in the proceedings). Papers will be reviewed single blind. Please follow the submission link at: http://www.acm-chants.org EDITORIAL FOLLOW-UPS _____________________ Extended versions of the selected workshop papers will be considered for possible fast track publication on the Computer Communications Journal (Elsevier), in a special section on Challenged Networks.
