Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,

Kommendes Jahr findet unser Fachgespräch "Inter-Vehicle Communication"
zum dritten Mal statt; nach Österreich und Luxembourg zum ersten Mal in
Deutschland. Ausgerichtet wird es diesmal dankenswerterweise von/an der
Uni Ulm.


Wir würden uns sehr über zahlreiche Beteiligung freuen!


Untenstehend habe ich unseren Call for Papers angefügt.

Beste Grüße aus Paderborn,

  Christoph Sommer

ABOUT THE FACHGESPRAECH


More about previous editions: http://fg-ivc.car2x.org/

Inter-vehicle communication (IVC), the management and control of network
connections among vehicles as well as between vehicles an existing
network infrastructure, is a maturing research field that is currently
gaining massive momentum. The investment of European automobile
manufacturers and OEMs into this idea is not only expressed in
successful efforts to reserve
dedicated radio spectrum harmonized across
Europe, but is also reflected in numerous research ventures in
cooperation with academia.

First standardization efforts across all layers, by both IEEE and ETSI,
have already borne fruit, allowing researchers to gain valuable insights
into both the strengths and the shortcomings of current approaches. A
tremendous body of experience could be gathered in both national and
international large scale field tests as well as in the domain of
simulation and modeling. However, this knowledge is still fragmented,
making it hard for new players to get into the game and affording even
experienced groups only a restricted view on this complex field.


GOALS


We invite young researchers and their experienced colleagues to discuss
new research directions and early results in the areas of inter-vehicle
communication and automated vehicles.

This third edition of the GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespräch Inter-Vehicle
Communication will discuss vehicular communications in general, this
year also inspired by new ideas in the context of automated vehicles.
Automated driving has made several leaps forward in the past years, with
the Google Car reaching a record of about 1.1 million autonomously
driven kilometers and governments across the world starting the
legislative process that will allow purchased autonomous vehicles to
drive on normal roads. This significant progress led some to pose the
question of the necessity of vehicular communication systems,
considering the many privacy and security issues associated with them.

Topics of interest for this edition include:

 * Communication protocol design and network management
 * Channel modeling, modulation and coding
 * Congestion control and scalability issues
 * Medium access control protocols
 *
Multi-channel organization and operation
 * Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication
 * Vehicle-to-cyclist/Vehicle-to-pedestrian communication
 * Applications of vehicular networks
 * Simulation frameworks
 * Real-world testbeds
 * Autonomous driving
 * Cooperative driving
 * Security in automated vehicles
 * Traffic management for automated vehicles
 * Human interfaces for automated vehicles
 * Security issues and countermeasures
 * Misbehavior detection in vehicular and in-vehicle communication
 * Privacy in traffic applications
 * Electric vehicle applications
