DEADLINE EXTENDED: 23rd April
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1st IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (IEEE WiVeC'07) 30th September - 1st October 2007, Baltimore, USA Renaissance Harborplace Hotel, 202 East Pratt Street, Baltimore, MD, USA, 21202
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, such as the European eSafety initiative, the US programs derived from the Intelligent Vehicle Initiative and the Japanese InternetITS and AHS programs.
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 has decided to establish a technical symposium on wireless vehicular communications, with the first issues planned to be 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.
The first IEEE WiVeC symposium will be collocated with the 66th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference and will take place at the Renaissance Harborplace Hotel in Baltimore on the 30th September and 1st October 2007. Combined registrations packages will be offered to attendees to WiVeC and VTC conferences.
Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE and will be included in the IEEE Xplore digital library. A selection of the best five WiVeC papers will be published in a special issue of the IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine www.ieeevtm.org. Authors are encouraged to submit full papers (a maximum of five pages) through the conference web site.
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. 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) following the submission guidelines provided at www.ieee-wivec.org Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE and will be included in the IEEE Xplore digital library.
A selection of the best five WiVeC papers will be published in a special issue of the IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine (www.ieeevtm.org).
