/1st IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (IEEE/
/WiVeC'07) /
/30th September - 1st October 2007, Baltimore, USA /
/Renaissance Harborplace Hotel, 202 East Pratt Street, Baltimore, MD, USA,/
/21202/
/ /
/ /
/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 US/
/programs derived from the Intelligent Vehicle Initiative and the Japanese/
/InternetITS and AHS programs./
/ /
/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./
/ /
/The first IEEE WiVeC symposium will be collocated with the 66th IEEE/
/Vehicular Technology Conference and will take place at the Renaissance/
/Harborplace Hotel in Baltimore on the 30th September and 1st October 2007./
/Combined registrations packages will be offered to attendees to WiVeC and/
/VTC conferences./
/ /
/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 five WiVeC papers will be published in a special issue of the IEEE/
/Vehicular Technology Magazine 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./
