VON 2012 - IEEE International Workshop on Vehicular Networking (VON-12)

The Third IEEE International Workshop on Vehicular Networking (VON-12)
http://lens.csie.ncku.edu.tw/VON12/index.html

to be held in conjunction with the AINA 2012 Conference
that will be held in Fukuoka, Japan, March 26-29, 2012.
http://www.aina-conference.org/2012/



Aims and Scope

The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in
the development of wireless vehicular networking technologies. Based on
short- to medium-range communication systems (vehicle-to-vehicle and
vehicle-to-roadside), vehicular networks will enable vehicular safety
applications including collision and other safety warnings as well as
non-safety applications like real-time traffic congestion and routing
information, high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others.
The creation of high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable,
and secure vehicular networks technologies, though, presents an
extraordinary challenge to the wireless research community: a high
degree of communication reliability is needed under unfavorable channel
conditions. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular networks in terms
of mobility behavior and applications scenarios and requirements makes
vehicular networks research an exciting and demanding application-
and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking.

Topics of Interest

Original papers addressing applications and architecture, systems
and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related
to Vehicular Networking are solicited. Papers that bring out interesting
and novel ideas at an early stage are favored over highly-polish
journal-style results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited
to:

- Vehicular mobile ad-hoc networks
- Routing protocols for V2V communications
- MAC layer technologies
- Physical layer and RF level technologies
- Antenna technologies
- Role of V2V communications in Intelligent Transportation Systems
- Safety and non-safety applications
- High-speed mobility management
- Radio resource management and QoS support
- Roadside-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle communication
- Algorithms, protocols and systems for data dissemination
- Channel modeling
- Modulation and coding
- Power control and scalability issues
- Multi-channel organization and operation
- Security issues and countermeasures
- Privacy issues
- Network management
- Simulation frameworks & real-world testbeds

Submissions and Proceedings

Authors are invited to submit an electronic version of original,
unpublished manuscripts via:

http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=von12

The manuscript should be written in English and follow IEEE two-column
format with single-spaced, ten-point font in the text. The maximum
manuscript length is six (6) pages including figures and references.
All submitted papers will be refereed by reviewers in terms of
correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and quality
of presentation. The CD proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer
Society Press and available online through IEEE Xplore.

The enhanced version of the best-quality selected papers that have been
presented at VON 2012 may be invited for publication in the special
issue of international journals.
