ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS
VANET 2006
The Third ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks
In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2006 September 29, 2006 Los Angeles, California, USA
Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE
http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2006/
Important Dates: Paper Submission Deadline: May 26, 2006 Notification of Acceptance: July 10, 2006 Camera-Ready Deadline: July 31, 2006
The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in the development of wireless vehicular ad hoc networking (VANET) technologies. Based on short- to medium-range communication systems (vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside), vehicular ad hoc networks will enable vehicular safety applications including collision and other safety warnings as well as non-safety applications like real-time traffic congestion and routing information, high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others.
The creation of high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, and secure VANET technologies, though, presents an extraordinary challenge to the wireless research community: a high degree of communication reliability is needed under unfavorable channel conditions. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular ad hoc networks in terms of mobility behavior and applications scenarios and requirements makes VANET research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking.
Following the successes of VANET 2004 held in Philadelphia and VANET 2005 held in Cologne, Germany, the Third ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks will be held in Los Angeles, September 29, 2006, in conjunction with MobiCom 2006.
Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET). All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Safety and non-safety applications - Roadside-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle communication - Communication protocol design - Channel modeling - Modulation and coding - Power control and scalability issues - Multi-channel organization and operation - Security issues and countermeasures - Privacy issues - Network management - Simulation frameworks & real-world testbeds
VANETs present a highly active field of research, development, standardization and field trials. Throughout the world, there are many national/international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to VANETs, for example consortia like VSC (US), C2CCC (Europe) and InternetITS (Japan), standardization efforts like IEEE 802.11p (WAVE) and field trials like the large-scale Vehicle Infrastructure Integration Program (VII) in the US.
Submission Instructions
All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages (single- or double-column), in font no smaller than 11 points, and must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Detailed instructions for paper submission will be posted on the VANET 2006 web page at: http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2006/.
