Call for Papers

1^st IEEE Workshop on Automotive Networking and Applications

(AutoNet 2006)

Co-located with IEEE GLOBECOM 2006

December 1, 2006 (Friday) – San Francisco, CA, USA

Sensors, radars, cameras, navigation systems, and microprocessors are technologies already in-use in vehicles to support applications such as parking-assistance, lane-keeping, and adaptive cruise-control. These technologies have greatly improved the levels of safety and comfort to drivers. Recently significant efforts have been made to enhance and integrate the latest wireless communications technologies into the vehicle and transportation systems to enable safety and information applications. For example, significant industrial and governmental efforts are underway to push from “passive-safety” to “active-safety” by employing advanced networking functions in vehicles and highway infrastructure.

When such communications and networking capabilities are installed, the vehicle itself can interact intelligently with other vehicles and the highway system, achieving a much higher degree of vehicular safety. Such capabilities can also support many exciting new applications, such as traffic management, vehicle diagnostics and mobile commerce. . The increasing importance of vehicle and infrastructure communications is recognized by governments, highway authorities, automobile manufacturers and the academic community.

This one-day workshop intends to bring together researchers, professionals, and practitioners to address recent developments and challenges in deploying vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-with-infrastructure networking technologies, and their applications including safety-assistance and driver-convenience. Specifically, we solicit original research contributions addressing the following areas:

* Communication and application architectures of Intelligent Transportation Systems * Vehicle-to--infrastructure (V2I) communications

* Mobile ad hoc vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications * Communication protocols for vehicular networks (media access, routing, etc.) * Physical layer and RF level technologies for vehicle communications * Security and authentication issues in vehicular ad hoc networks * Radio resource management and QoS support for vehicle communications

* High-speed mobility management for vehicular networks

* Simulation techniques for vehicular networks * Experimental systems and testbeds for vehicle communications

*Submission Instructions*

Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 20 double-spaced pages, including references, figures and tables. All submissions should be submitted electronically in Postscript or Adobe PDF format on http://autonet2006.research.telcordia.com/myreview/

1. First go to http://autonet2006.research.telcordia.com/myreview/ 2. Go to “Authors” and select “Submit an abstract” to provide the main information on your paper. You will be given an id/password which must later be used to access the system during the following step. 3. Once an abstract has been submitted, you can go to “Authors” and select “Upload a paper” to upload the file of your completed paper.

Please direct questions regarding the submission procedure to:
