The First International Workshop on IPv6-based Vehicular Networks (Vehi6) 2012 will be a one-day workshop in conjunction with 2012 IEEE Intelligent Vehicle Symposium (IV’12), Alcalá de Henares, Spain, June 3rd, 2012
== Call For Papers ==
Recent advances on wireless vehicular networks supporting Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communications have become the cornerstone of cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), which are supposed to improve road safety, on-board comfort and provide innovative infotainment environments. IPv6 has been acknowledged as a masterpiece to support this kind of services, providing a network protocol for traffic efficiency, leisure applications and non-time critical safety services. However, most of the recent efforts has been focused on developing and improving communication media for vehicular communications, vehicular ad-hoc networks for V2V networking, protocol stack and architectures, final services, but not much focused on IPv6 addressing, routing, flow control, mobility or security.
Wireless vehicular networking for cooperative ITS is one of the most interesting and active research topics, which requires vital efforts from both the industry and the academia. In this frame, the objective of this workshop is to provide a forum to exchange ideas, present results, share real experiences or exploring the current state of the art, on the application of IPv6 in vehicular network architectures, prototypes, test beds or commercial products in the field of intelligent transportation systems.
== Topics Of Interest ==
Original papers addressing either scientific or engineering aspects about IPv6 integration in wireless vehicular networking for cooperative ITS are welcome. Papers describing or evaluating approaches for network and facilities/middleware levels are especially considered. In general, topics of interest for papers include, but not limited to:
* Network Mobility (NEMO) advances or application
* Multiple Care of Address (MCoA) usage on vehicular networks
* Routing optimization in network mobility
* Flow distribution and routing policies in MCoA scenarios
* Interface selection and management
* Middleware and facilities to make IPv6 integration easier
* IPv6 security issues in vehicular networks
* AAA architecture deployment and usage issues in vehicular networks
* IPv4-IPv6 transition in vehicular infrastructures
* Experiences and experimental results related to IPv6-based vehicular networks
== Important Dates ==
* Submission Deadline: March 10th (extended), 2012
* Author Notification: April 1, 2012
* Final Paper Submission: April 13, 2012
* Workshop Date: June 3, 2012
== Submission Information ==
Papers within the scope of the First International Workshop on IPv6-based Vehicular Networks are welcome. All submissions must be written in English with a maximum paper length of 6 printed pages including figures in standard IEEE double column format. Templates for Microsoft Word or LaTeX formats, and a testing application to check the compliance of your PDF paper, can be found at https://its.papercept.net/conferences/scripts/pdft...
Papers prepared for the workshop should be submitted in PDF format to the workshop organizers via emails (josesanta (at) um.es and hurryon (at) gmail.com). Please, be sure that an acknowledge reply is received after that.
All submissions will be peer-reviewed by the workshop International Technical Committee to ensure the quality of the accepted contributions. Papers will be reviewed according to their relevance in the field, originality, technical quality and presentation. If the paper is finally accepted, authors will have to consider the comments received by reviewers to improve the contribution and prepare a camera-ready version for inclusion in the workshop proceedings.
== Publication Information ==
Accepted papers will be included in the workshop proceedings in a digital format and will be made available to the participants of all workshops maintained in 2012 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium.
Selected papers will be considered for potential publication on IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Magazine.
