and Demos]
FINAL EXTENDED SUBMISSION DEADLINE (papers and demos): 19th May
2008
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2nd IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular
Communications (IEEE WiVeC’08)
21–22 September 2008,
http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2008/
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
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.
After a successful first WiVeC edition in 2007 (http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2007/)
with over 150 participants in the 2-day event, the second IEEE WiVeC symposium
will be co-located with the 68th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference 2008 Fall
conference and will take place at the Calgary Marriott Hotel in Calgary on the
21st and 22nd of September 2008. Combined registrations packages will be
offered for WiVeC and VTC events.
All accepted papers will be included in the VTC 2008-Fall
conference proceedings and will be published on the IEEE Xplore database. A
selection of the best WiVeC papers will be published in a special issue of the
IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine http://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.
Regular Paper Submissions
-------------------------
Authors are encouraged to submit full length papers (maximum 5
pages) following the submission guidelines provided at http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2008/
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 WiVeC papers will be published in a
special issue of the IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine (www.ieeevtm.org).
Important Dates for regular papers
----------------------------------
Paper Submission Deadline: 19th
May 2008
Notification of acceptance: 7h June 2008
Camera-ready papers due (strict deadline): 14th June 2008
Call for Demos
---------------
Together with the poster
session, WiVeC will feature a demo session designed to allow industrials and
researchers to showcase their latest industrial applications and research
prototypes in WiVeC related topics. Poster and demo sessions will be co-located
to ensure maximum visibility and a close interaction between presenters and
participants. Demo proposals covering innovative technologies, platforms,
analysis tools and applications related to wireless vehicular communications
are encouraged. Submissions describing both mature or innovative systems and
prototypes developed for commercial use or for research purposes, from
industries or universities, are encouraged. The submitted demo proposal should
include in a maximum of 2 A4 pages following the WiVeC paper format:
1. Title, authors and contact
information.
2. Technical content to be demonstrated.
3. An overview of the
demonstration set-up (the inclusion of photographs of the demonstrator are
encouraged) and the results that will be shown to attendees.
4. Any URLs that link to
screen-shots, live demos, or related information
The authors should also email
the Demo Chair with information on the equipment or facilities required for the
system demonstration (e.g., power supplies, Internet connections, table
dimensions, etc). Demonstrations could be supported by a poster describing the
general set-up of the demonstration, its background and technical content to be
demonstrated. Demo participants interested to use a poster should also inform
the demos chair. Demonstrations will be selected based on their novelty,
technical quality, and attractiveness of the demonstrated system. Accepted
demonstrations will be included in IEEE Xplore and the Conference CDROM.
Please note that for every
accepted demonstration, it is required that at least one person registers for
the conference and presents the demo. However, no additional paper charge is
needed for authors that are already presenting a regular paper in IEEE
WiVeC’08.
