The aim of this workshop is to address the current and future trends in these topics with a particular attention to aspects that are in common, with the goal to foster interdisciplinary collaborative research in this areas. While the main focus of the workshop is on simulation tools and gaming technologies, the workshop also encourages the submission of broader theoretical and practical research contributions, such as the report of relevant case studies. Cross-disciplinary position papers, posing problems and giving input to the involved communities, are particularly encouraged. Furthermore, one of the aim of the workshop is to bring academic and industry researchers together with practitioners.

[Fwd: IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (WiVeC)]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (WiVeC) Datum: Mon, 7 Dec 2009 08:30:00 -0500 Von: conference-services(a)ieee.org Antwort an: j.gozalvez(a)umh.es An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Referenzen: <A1259786566198113837.wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de> To: Members of the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) === 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 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 first and second WiVeC editions in 2007 and 2008, the third IEEE WiVeC symposium will be co-located with the 71th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference 2010 Spring conference, and will take place at the Grand Hotel in Taipei on the 16th and 17th of May 2010. 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 2010-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. 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. Vehicular communication areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * RF technologies, antenna design, physical layer and propagation models. * Radio resource management and interference management. * Spectrum assignment and EMC regulations. * Architecture, networking protocols (including ad-hoc, routing, data dissemination, etc) and their evalutation. * QoS and cross-layer optimization design. * Communications systems and technologies. * Testbeds and simulation platforms. * Interworking with sensor network technologies. * In-car electronics and embedded integration of wireless vehicular communications. * Roadside infrastructure. * Mobility management, mobility and vehicle traffic models. * Digital maps and location technologies. * Decision and control issues. * Human-Machine Interface. * Applications (Ecall, toll collection, traffic information, wireless diagnosis etc.). * Security, liability and privacy. * Standards development, business models, policies (e.g., Cooperative aspects of vehicular communication). * Assessment of impact on transport efficiency and safety. * Scalability issues in metropolitan-wide vehicular networks. 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/wivec2010/ Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE and will be included in the IEEE Xplore digital library. Important Dates --------------- Paper Submission Deadline: 24 December 2009 Notification of acceptance: 25 January 2010 Camera-ready papers due: 15 February 2010 ================================================================================ You have received this mailing because you are a member of IEEE and/or one of the IEEE Technical Societies.

Ammari, Hofstra University, USA, Habib.M.Ammari(a)Hofstra.edu Submission Guidelines For this symposium, we are soliciting original papers describing state-of-the-art research and development in the areas of wireless ad hoc, sensor and mesh networks. The symposium will only accept for review the original contributions that have not been previously published and are not currently under review by any other conference or journal. All papers are limited to five (5) printed pages, including text, figures and references, and must be written in English and follow the standard IEEE double-column format. The font size must be at least 10 points. All submissions will be handled electronically and must be in PDF format. All submitted papers would be judged based on their quality through a double peer-reviewing process. Accepted papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings of IWCMC10. Further instructions on paper submission and formatting are available on the conference webpage (http://www.iwcmc.com). Paper submission Website: http://www.edas.info

This results into an unprecedented request for lightweight, wireless communication devices with high usability and performance able to support added-value services in a highly mobile environment - following the user everywhere he goes (at work, at home, while traveling, in a classroom, etc.). This scenario clearly demands significant upgrades to the existing communication paradigm in terms of infrastructure, devices and services to support the ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANY DEVICE philosophy. This Special Issue aims to publish high quality research papers relating to Mobile Lightweight Wireless Systems. Researchers working in these areas worldwide are invited to contribute original and unpublished papers for consideration in this Special Issue. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: . Wireless communication systems (IEEE 802.11x, WiMAX, IEEE 802.15, Personal Area Networks, Bluetooth, wireless USB, HiperLAN2) . Cellular Networks (2.5G, 3G, 3G LTE, LTE-A) . Ultra Wide Band . Next Generation Networks . Next generation lightweight devices (smart phones, PDAs) . Available and emerging solutions for lightweight systems . Internetworking and interoperability . Protocol stack design (layering, cross-layering) . Performance evaluation and optimization . Service-Oriented architectures . Cognitive radios and networks . Seamless roaming . Voice and Voice over IP . Location services . Emerging and next generation services . Service provisioning . Value-Added services . Users' needs and requirements Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at <http://www.hindawi.com/journals/jcsnc/guidelines.html> http://www.hindawi.com/journals/jcsnc/guidelines.html.
