*Aim and Scope*

The rapid growth of the number of cars on the roads has created a plethora of challenges for road traffic management authorities such as, traffic congestion, increasing number of accidents, air pollution, etc. Over the last decade, researchers from both industry and academia have focused their efforts on exploiting advances in sensing and communication technologies to make the existing road Traffic Management Systems (TMSs) more efficient. Their main goal is to improve the traveler’s safety, shorten the travel time and reduce the environmental impact.

Road traffic management for smart cities involves monitoring the actual traffic situation in real-time (including volumes, speeds, incidents, etc.) and then controlling or influencing the flow using that information in order to reduce traffic congestion, deal efficiently with incidents and provide accurate and reliable traffic information and prediction to both drivers and authorities. Moreover, it is foreseen that future smart cities will provide faster and secure emergency service delivery by granting proper traffic privileges to emergency vehicles.

This workshop seeks to bring together researchers, scientists and engineers from various research communities, as well as practitioners and administrators who face the challenges of traffic management in smart cities. They are all welcome to present and discuss their latest research findings, ideas, simulation tools and applications at the 2014 VTM workshop.

Visible light communications uses the visible spectrum (390 -750 nm) of the optical band for wireless data transmission and takes advantage of the low-cost and omni-present light emitting diodes (LEDs). Simultaneous use of LEDs for both lighting and data communications is a sustainable and energy-efficient approach that has the potential to revolutionize how we use light. Besides indoor illumination, LEDs are being widely used in outdoor lighting, traffic signs, advertising displays, car headlights/taillights, etc. This makes possible the use of VLC for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications which are key components of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs). This workshop aims to provide a scientific forum to discuss the potential of VLC in the context of ITSs and identify the associated problems, challenges, requirements, and research directions.

Prospective authors are invited to submit 5-pages, original, unpublished, full technical papers in the following topics of interest, but are not limited to:

· Advanced coding and modulation techniques for V2V and V2I communications

· MIMO VLC systems for vehicular networks

· Multi-hop VLC vehicular networks

· Effect of sunlight and ambient noise on vehicular VLC performance

· LED pointing, acquisition and tracking

· MAC and upper layer protocols for vehicular VLC networks

· Centralized and distributed vehicular VLC networks

· Navigation and positioning using VLC

· VLC-based park assistance

· VLC-based vehicle platoons

· Advanced driver assistance systems

· Vehicular area networks (VANETs)

· Integration aspects with public lighting infrastructures

· Hybrid RF/VLC vehicular networks

· Intelligent transportation systems

· VLC for high speed communication with trains

· Test beds and field trials

Paper submission guidelines: Submitted papers must be unpublished and should not be submitted elsewhere at the same time. Accepted full papers should not exceed 5 pages in two-column IEEE Transactions style. Accepted full papers longer than 5 pages will be charged $100 for each extra page. Papers cannot be longer than 7 pages. Papers should be submitted as PDF files through the TrackChair system (http://vtc2014spring-wk.trackchair.com/ http://www.mmsend2.com/link.cfm?r=661445230&sid=29928103&m=3373045&u=IEEE_VTS&j=16471496&s=http://vtc2014spring-wk.trackchair.com/track/1211/submit). All submitted papers will be subject to three independent reviews.

*MWC2020*

*18 May 2014*

***************************************************************************************************************

*Scope and Objectives:*

The purpose of the workshop is to bring researchers and industry together to share their views on needs, possibilities and challenges in 5G communication systems. Participants are expected to share their views on which new technology enablers are going to be the pillars of the coming 5G mobile and wireless system. Those enablers may be components of the protocol stack (PHY, MAC or upper layers) or new architectural models.

It is widely viewed that the future mobile infrastructure will have to cope not only with a quantitative growth of the requirements that we are facing today (higher capacity, data rate, number of connected devices) but also with qualitatively new requirements (higher reliability, larger versatility, application-domain specific topologies) resulting from a broader scope of applications over 5G networks.

In 2020, mobile and wireless traffic volume is expected to increase thousand-fold over 2010 figures. Moreover, an increase in the number of wirelessly connected devices in the tens of billions will have a profound impact on society. Massive machine communication, forming the basis for the Internet of Things, will make our everyday life more efficient, comfortable and safer, through a wide range of applications including traffic safety and medical services. The variety of applications and traffic types originating from or reaching mobile, WLAN, and sensor networks, will be significantly larger than today, and will result in more diverse requirements on services, devices and networks.

To meet the demands beyond 2020, a system that broadens the use of today's wireless networks is needed. Fundamentally new concepts and design approaches are needed, and these must be integrated into systems that provide the necessary flexibility, versatility and scalability at low cost and low energy consumption. This workshop presents a forum for exchange of ideas between all stakeholders.

We invite researchers to submit original papers in the following areas:

* D2D communication * Machine-type communication/massive machine communication * Ultra-reliable networks and NSPS communication * Moving networks and vehicular-to-anything communication * Ultra-dense deployments * Radio network architectures including beyond cellular * Self-organizing networks and distributed features * Energy efficient networks * Network and massive MIMO * Network coding * Efficient air interfaces (low signaling overhead, energy consumption) * Optimizing radio access * Interference metrics, measurements and management * Millimeter-wave communication * Spectrum measurement and models * Spectrum use and new spectrum sharing models * Cognitive radio networks * QoS provisioning and MAC protocol * Trust and security * Experimental prototypes and results related with the above topics

*Important Dates:*

* Paper Submission : 23 February, 2014 * Author Notification : 14 March, 2014 * Final paper submission : 24 March, 2014

*Paper Submission:*

Papers should follow the 2-column IEEE conference template and not exceed 5 pages. Papers can be submitted through TrackChair at http://vtc2014spring-wk.trackchair.com/track/1242/submit http://www.mmsend2.com/link.cfm?r=661445230&sid=29928105&m=3373045&u=IEEE_VTS&j=16471496&s=http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fvtc2014spring-wk.trackchair.com%2Ftrack%2F1242%2Fsubmit&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzff93eYdQKgkFdhXZHfELq8IutzrQ. Accepted papers will be published in IEEE Xplore. At least one author per accepted paper must register at the full workshop rate.
