-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: Inter-vehicular Communications Date: Tue, 4 Oct 2005 16:56:32 +0800 From: Daniel Wong <daniel_wong(a)ieee.org> Reply-To: Daniel Wong <daniel_wong(a)ieee.org> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Sorry if you receive multiple copies of this CFP regardsDaniel Wong -----------------------------------Call for Papers IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on "Inter-Vehicular Communications"(pdf version of this CFP is available athttp://www.3g-wireless.net/IVC-CFP.pdf ) Wireless communications technologies (cellular phones, wireless LANs,etc.) have enabled many of the conveniences in our lives, and alsoincreased our day by day productivity. Another area where there ismuch potential for wireless technologies to make a tremendous impactis the area of inter-vehicular communications (IVC). The field of IVCis also known as vehicle-to-vehicle communications (V2V) and vehicularad hoc networks (VANET). There are numerous emerging applications that are unique to thevehicular setting. For example, safety applications would makedriving safer; driver information services could intelligently informdrivers about congestion, businesses and services in the vicinity ofthe vehicle, and other news. Mobile commerce could extend to therealm of vehicles. Existing forms of entertainment may penetrate thevehicular domain, and new forms of entertainment may emerge, allsupported by the inter-vehicular communications capabilities. Theseemerging services are currently not well supported. Numerous research challenges need to be addressed in order forinter-vehicular communications to be widely deployed. The combinationof unique features of inter-vehicular applications and networkingopens new opportunities for many interesting research areas. Thecommunications networking between cars has different characteristicsfrom other communications networking problems. For example, becauseof the rapidly changing topology as cars move around, there aresimilarities with ad hoc networking scenarios. However, theconstraints and optimizations are different. Power efficiency is notas important for inter-vehicular communications as it is fortraditional ad hoc networking, since vehicles have a powerful andrechargeable source of energy. Vehicles in general are alsoconstrained to move within roads (and within lanes most of the time). The purpose of this special issue is to showcase the variety ofresearch being conducted in IVC and survey the state-of-the-art inthis field. We solicit original unpublished manuscripts not currentlybeing considered elsewhere for publication. Topics of interestinclude, but are not limited to, the following: • Service creation and management• Vehicular communications applications in general• Navigation safety applications• Content distribution to vehicles• Vehicle data collection and harvesting• Role of IVC in Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS)• Link and physical layer issues, algorithms and protocols• Cross-layer protocol design• Network architectures, system architectures• Inter-working of vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructurecommunications• Network protocols and algorithms, including clustering, routing, etc.• Vehicle movement simulation• Security for IVC• Network management for IVC• Mobility management Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a stylecomprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Allsubmissions will be reviewed based on technical merit and relevance. Articles should have no more than 4,500 words, no more than 6tables/figures, and no more than 15 references. Further submissionguidelines are available online athttp://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/sub_guidelines.html.

[Fwd: The IEEE/ACM ToN paper submission process]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: The IEEE/ACM ToN paper submission process Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2005 13:24:22 -0400 From: Erich Nahum <nahum(a)turing.acm.org> Reply-To: Erich Nahum <nahum(a)turing.acm.org> To: SIGCOMM-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG This message is from Don Towsley, Editor-In-Chief of IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking --Erich ----- Begin forwarded message ----- Folks, For several years the EiC of ToN has been making assignments of papers to the Editorial board once a month. This started way before I took over as EiC and there are several reasons for this. First, the task of making assignments is time consuming; doing once a month rather than either once a week or as papers are submitted requires a greater time commitment on the part of the EiC of ToN. Second, the number of papers that arrive each month is nearly the same as the number of Associate Editors. A monthly assignment makes the task of load balancing among AEs easier. Third, AEs can more easily plan for these assignments when they occur at a regular time each month. I bring this to your attention because this process can be advantageous to prospective authors. My intention as EiC of ToN is to assign to AEs all papers submitted by the 25-th of a month during the first week of the following month. Feel free to to take advantage of this and use the extra time to further improve your submission. I would also like to point out that approximately ten days go by between when a paper is assigned to an AE and we notify the authors of this assignment. This period allows for the identification of conflicts of interest and papers unsuitable for ToN. In most cases, however, AEs begin the review process immediately after they receive their assignments. So, please do not be alarmed by the delays that you perceive before you learn which AE has been assigned to your paper. In most cases the review process is already under way. Last, I am working on how to reduce the delays before authors obtain a first decision. However, there is only so much that I can do. This consists of streamlining the review process. This includes identifying papers unsuitable for ToN and papers that clearly have no chance of making it through the review process as quickly as possible. Doing so reduces both the burden on AEs and on reviewers. I have some other ideas that I will report on at another time. It is really important that you do your part as well. In the end, the quality of the journal and the timeliness of the published papers depend on your willingness to review papers. So I ask you to PLEASE agree to review papers for the journal and when you do, to do so in a timely manner. Ultimately, your willingness to submit high quality papers and to review other submissions is the key to the success of ToN. Finally, I am always looking for suggestions on how to improve ToN; please send me your comments. Thanks Don Towsley EiC, IEEE/ACM ToN ton(a)cs.umass.edu ----- End forwarded message -----
