SPECIAL ISSUE OF ELSEVIER VEHICULAR COMMUNICATIONS JOURNAL ON “Internet of Vehicles”
The Special Issue will address the needs of first generation vehicular networking technologies and applications to go beyond present-day systems. One such area is automated vehicles where the communication needs will be twofold: One for cooperatively perceiving the environment, and the other for collectively deciding on maneuvers. Such connected autonomous vehicles would not only require reliable group communications, but also would rely on group intelligence where they may need to coordinate their actions (as a vehicular cloud). Another emerging area is the view of cars as sensor platforms that monitor the external environment (traffic, pollution, etc.) as well as the internal CAN bus and cabin activities. In this view the cars become part of an IoV (Internet of Vehicles) and provide useful information not only to other cars, but also to stakeholders in the Internet (e.g., automakers, insurance companies, content providers, etc.). In this view, one can exploit the informati! on capture, processing and communication resources not only of running cars, but also of parked cars in the context of smart cities (e.g., using vehicles as data capture, storage and delivery instruments). The large collected information will offer important insight, through machine learning, on vehicular grids and smart city operations.
Topics of interest include communication issues related to (but are not limited to):
• Vehicular clouds, group intelligence • Software defined networking and virtualization for vehicles • Heterogeneous/hybrid networking techniques for next generation vehicular communications • Collective perception techniques for automated vehicles • Collective decision making for automated vehicles • Services utilizing resources of vehicles • Security for connected vehicles • Positioning and addressing of vehicles • Use of big data and cloud for automated vehicles • IoV in the general context of IoT • Mining big vehicular data for smart city services • Use of cellular systems for vehicular networking
Submission Format and Guideline
