Nets4cars 2015 - 8th International Workshop on Communication Technologies for Vehicles

The 8th International Workshop on Communication Technologies for Vehicles (Nets2Cars / Nets4Trains / Nets4Aircraft 2015) will take place next year in the beautiful city of Sousse (Tunisia) on 06th, 07th and 08th of May 2015.
We invite prospective authors for contributions in the theory or practice of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and communication technologies for vehicles on Road (e.g. cars, tracks and buses), Air (e.g. aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles) and Rail (e.g. Trains, metros and trams). Areas of interest of the workshop include (but are not limited to):
Vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure and In-vehicle communications
Vehicle-to-Internet communications, Roadside infrastructure and core network
Radio technologies for V2X (radio resource management and interference management, physical layer, propagation models, antennas, etc.)
Protocols for vehicular networks (MAC / link layer, routing, IP mobility, dissemination, transport, applications, etc.) and performance enhancements
New trends in VANETS, e.g. integration of electric vehicles in smart grid communications
Data dissemination, processing, and aggregation in vehicular networks
Safety, reliability, and dependability in vehicular networks
Mobility management, Network management, traffic modeling and optimization
Trajectory optimization and trajectory and separation management
Information management, enhanced communication, surveillance and navigation
Digital maps and localization using communication technologies and GNSS applications
Applications for vehicular networks: multimedia applications, Safety-critical vs. non-critical applications
Cooperative ITS solutions, Traveller information services and multi-modal transport
Analytical, simulation, and experimental systems
Field operational testing and results
Recent standardization efforts and problems (e.g. 802.11p,ITS G5, ERTMS, LTE-R)
International harmonization activities (e.g. Europe vs. US vs. Asia)
Security and privacy in vehicular communications
Authors are invited to submit full papers comprising original work, not previously published, in English of max. 12 pages (or max. 8 pages for work in progress) in LNCS single-column format. All papers will be reviewed by an International Technical Program Committee with appropriate expertise. A properly anonymized (should not contain the names/details of the authors) version of the paper has to be submitted to the [http://edas.info/N18831]
Accepted papers will be presented by their authors at the Symposium to be held in Sousse (Tunisia) area and published in the Springer LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) series (to be confirmed). Registration for the workshop by at least one of the authors and presenting the paper is a mandatory requirement for having the paper included in the proceedings.
A submission implies willingness to register and present the work if the paper is accepted for presentation at the workshop.
