Call for Papers -------------------- *IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing** **Special Issue on "Reliable and secure VANETs"** * Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) has gained a significant attention during the last decades both from industrial and academia communities. Novel VANET-enabled active safety automotive applications are heavily dependent on reliability and security of underlying inter-vehicle communication protocols. The error-prone nature of the wireless channel and its openness to external invasions as well as dynamic VANET environment, impose the need for intensive studies before applications like platooning or collision avoidance can become a part of our daily life. The aim of this special issue is to encompass research advances in all areas of reliability and security in VANETs. We welcome contributions relating to novel protocols for reliable and secure vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication as well as methods for their performance evaluation. This special issue intends to provide a venue for interested researchers and practitioners to share their novel research results.

Topics of interest (include but are not limited to) ------------------------------------------------------------------- - Quality of service in VANETs and cross-layer optimization - Safety-critical inter-vehicle communications - Availability, performability, and survivability - IEEE 802.11p/1609 protocols - Performance evaluation methods and tools - Field monitoring and measurement - Misbehavior detection and mitigation in VANETs - Intrusion tolerance and attack models in VANETs - Privacy-enhancing technologies for vehicular communication systems - Cryptographic protocols and algorithms, and their security - System architecture and design for reliable and secure VANETs - Mobile cloud computing enabled reliability and security for VANETs - Information-centric networking (ICN) reliability and security support for VANETs

Guest Editors ------------------- - Xiaomin Ma, Oral Roberts University, USA - Dijiang Huang, Arizona State University, USA - Alexey Vinel, Halmstad University, Sweden

Important Dates ----------------------- - Manuscript submission deadline: June 30th, 2014 - First notification date: August 15th, 2014 - Expected publication date: Nov/Dec 2014

Submission Procedure ------------------------------- Papers submitted to this special issue for possible publication must be original and must not be under consideration for publication in any other journal or conference. TDSC requires meaningful technical novelty in submissions that extend previously published conference papers. Extension beyond the conference version(s) is not simply a matter of length. Thus, expanded motivation, expanded discussion of related work, variants of previously reported algorithms, incremental additional experiments/simulations, may provide additional length but will fall below the line for proceeding with review. Submissions can be made at: http://www.computer.org/portal/web/tdsc/author

Kind regards, Alexey Vinel
