CALL FOR PAPERS
2018 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC)
December 5-7, 2018
Taipei, Taiwan
http://www.ieee-vnc.org

All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will appear in
the conference proceedings and will be submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital
Library.




The 2018 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC) seeks to bring together
researchers, professionals, and practitioners to present and discuss recent
developments and challenges in vehicular networking technologies, and their
applications. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

   - 5G technologies for connected vehicles
   - New V2X technologies: Cellular V2X (C-V2X), Vehicular visible light
   communications (VLC), TV White Spaces (TVWS), etc.
   - Millimeter wave (mmWave) for V2X communication
   - Communications and networking for automated and semi-automated
   vehicles: cooperative perception, cooperative maneuvering, cooperative
   intersections and highways, platooning
   - Congestion and awareness control in vehicular networks
   - Safety and non-safety applications of vehicular networks, including ITS
   - V2V, V2I and V2X communications and networking protocols
   - Vehicular communications with VRUs (Vulnerable Road Users) e.g., with
   bicyclists, pedestrians, etc.
   - Collaborative mapping and localization systems
   - Connected smart parking systems
   - In-vehicle communications (wireless or wired)
   - Radio propagation aspects of vehicular networks: channel measurements,
   propagation models, antenna design, etc.
   - Protocols for vehicular networking (radio resource management, link
   layer, routing, mobility management, dissemination, transport etc.)
   - Security, privacy, liability, and dependability in vehicular networks
   - Network and QoS management for vehicular networks
   - Simulation and performance evaluation techniques for vehicular networks
   - Results from experimental systems, testbeds, and pilot studies
   - Impact assessments of vehicular networks on safety, transportation
   efficiency, and the environment
   - Communications related to electric and hybrid vehicles
   - Heterogeneous networking approaches (multi-radio, multi-channel,
   multi-application, multi-technology)
   - Integration of V2V with on-board systems and networks
   - Vehicular networking architectures and system design
   - Applications and services to enhance driver experience, performance,
   and behavior
   - V2X and IoT Integration
   - V2X-based big data applications and services
   - Machine-learning techniques for efficient V2X communications
   - Cooperative driving


*Instructions for paper submission*


All paper submissions must be written in English and must be formatted in
standard IEEE 2-column format. The mandatory IEEE template in Microsoft
Word and LaTeX format can be found at the IEEE templates page. Only Adobe
PDF files will be accepted for the review process. All submissions must be
made electronically through EDAS.

We will consider three different categories of papers:

   - *Full papers* should describe novel research contributions and are
   limited in length to eight (8) printed pages (10-point font) including
   figures, tables, and references. Papers exceeding 8 pages will not be
   accepted at EDAS, nor reviewed at all.
   -

   *Short papers *should be more visionary in nature and may report on work
   in progress without finished results. They are meant to present novel
   perspectives, so as to foster discussion about innovative directions and
   new points of view. They are limited to at most four (4) pages including
   figures, tables, and references, but might in many cases be even shorter.
   Accepted short papers will be included in the proceedings and there will be
   given (a shorter) time for oral presentation at the conference.

Please note that the full paper and short paper categories target different
kinds of contributions. Papers submitted to a category will NOT be moved to
a different category: a paper will either be accepted for the category
where it has been submitted, or it will be rejected. Full papers will not
be “downgraded” to short papers. Therefore, please be sure to carefully
assess for yourself prior to submission which is the most suitable
submission category for your paper, and to make sure that the presentation
in the manuscript is well suited to the aims of this category.

   -

   *Posters* are especially suited for presenting controversial research
   directions that may generate discussion, or promising ideas not yet fully
   validated through complete extensive evaluation. IEEE VNC 2018 will also
   include a demonstration session for researchers to showcase their latest
   prototypes with media, models, or live demonstrations. The demo session
   will be co-located with the poster session to ensure maximum visibility and
   a close interaction with the conference audience.

   We also encourage the authors of the demo papers to include a link to a
   short 2-min demonstration video for the reviewers to facilitate the
   evaluation of the quality of the demonstration proposal. If a video is
   included, we ask that it be hosted on public video hosting service (e.g.,
   Vimeo, YouTube, or similar) to ensure the anonymity of the reviewers. The
   videos of accepted demonstration proposals will be advertised on the
   conference website.

   Poster/demo papers should be 2-page papers following standard IEEE
   2-column format using 10-point font. All paper submissions must be written
   in English. The title of the paper should begin with either "Poster:" or
   "Demo:". Optionally, a poster paper submission can also include an
   electronic copy of the poster.

*Important Dates*


Full/short paper submission deadline:September 07, 2018
Demo/Poster paper Submission Deadline:September 07, 2018
Acceptance notification:October 12, 2018
Camera ready paper due:October 26, 2018
