Scope
Mobile computing is more ubiquitous today when smart phones and other consumer electronic devices become the
primary access devices to the Internet. Mobile cloud computing further the integrations of personal computing,
distributed computing, cloud computing, and wireless technologies. One of the challenging areas is the vehicle
communications and the enabled applications. The continuously increasing interactions between communications,
computing and sensing devices in vehicle systems have introduced many interesting yet dif?cult issues in diverse
research areas including computing platform, connectivity, routing and broadcast, channel and link access,
collaborations, capacity planning, scheduling, security and privacy preservation, and so on.
This symposium is devoted to cover original contributions in the design, development, and analysis of novel
techniques in architectures, platforms, protocols and applications in the joint areas of mobile computing and vehicle
communications. Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review
by another conference or journal, are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
● Novel applications, services, and mobile cloud computing in vehicular environments
● System architectures, platforms, and test beds
● Cloud-assisted vehicle communications
● Mobile vehicular social networks
● Networking to reduce energy consumption
● Information systems and applications for intelligent transportation system
● V2V or V2I protocols in vehicular networks and communications
● Vehicle ad hoc networks and Vehicle sensor networks
● Wireless channel and media access control protocols
● Multi-channel organization and operation
● Wireless access virtualization and resource management
● Service integration and inter-networking
● Practical solutions for security and privacy issues
● Analysis and solutions addressing scalability and reliability
● Mobility analysis and vehicle traffic analysis
● Implementation of mobile IP and migration of IPv6
● Quality of service for mobile or in-vehicle media and interactive applications
● Ecomonics of vehicular communications and intelligent transportation system
● System evaluation methodologies and testbed experiments and measurements
