                                         CALL FOR PAPERS

             2nd International Workshop on Vehicular Networking and 
Intelligent
           Transportation systems (VENITS 2016), Co-Located with the 
27th Annual IEEE
	International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio 
Communications (PIMRC’16)



                              September 4, 2016 - Valencia, Spain
                               http://www.grc.upv.es/VENITS/2016/


                     Conference proceedings will be submitted to IEEE Xplore



Important Dates:
================

Submission deadline: May 6, 2016
Notification of acceptance: June 13, 2016
Camera-ready version: June 30, 2016



Scope:
======

Over the years, we have witnessed the merging of wireless communications 
and transportation technologies. This excellent combination of two 
important fields has propelled our capabilities even further, allowing 
us to communicate anytime and anywhere, thereby improving the traffic 
safety, reducing the travel costs, and increasing our life quality 
tremendously.
Once the new Intelligent Transportation Systems are deployed, our roads 
and highways will be able to provide enhanced services to users through 
the combination of V2X and cellular communications, thus completely 
revolutionizing when and how we communicate, commute, and navigate, in 
the coming future.
Under such conditions, several issues remain open in the field on 
vehicular networking, including message dissemination in congested 
environments, Quality of Service (QoS), efficient and adaptive routing, 
MAC layer enhancements, mobility
prediction, efficient handovers, and 
also in Intelligent Transportation Systems, such as efficient road 
traffic managing, optimal emergency services operation, etc.
This workshop is soliciting original technical papers addressing the 
main research challenges in the vehicular networking and the intelligent 
transportation systems area.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following scope:

- Wireless vehicular networking
- Congestion and admission control in dense vehicular networks
- Content distribution in wireless vehicular environments
- Smartphone/vehicle integration
- Service oriented architectures, service portability, P2P
- Cooperative sensing of road conditions
- Network and system architectures for mobile vehicular computing
- DSRC/WAVE communications. DSRC alternatives and supporting technologies
- Network protocols and algorithms, including clustering, routing,
etc.
- Cross-layer protocol design
- Statistical analysis, prediction and management of vehicular mobility
- Multimedia communications in vehicular scenarios
- Models, simulators and tools for vehicular environments
- Communications for safety of vulnerable road users
- Communications for automated driving
- Security and trust issues in vehicular environments


Papers Submission:
==================

The workshop accepts novel and previously unpublished papers. Papers 
should not exceed 6 double-column pages and should follow IEEE 
templates. Submitted papers will be subject to a peer-review process. 
All accepted papers will be included in the PIMRC conference program and 
will be published by the IEEE Xplore. Papers should be submitted through 
EDAS.
