SCOPE/CALL FOR PAPERS

The Second IEEE International Workshop on The last few years have witnessed an u

nmistable converge of intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and Vehicular Ad

hoc Networks (VANET) leading to the emergence of Intelligent Vehicular Networks

(InVeNET) that promise to revolutionize the way we drive by creating a ubiquitou

s safe and secure environment that will eventually pervade our highways and city

streets.

InVeNET 2010 continues the tradition established by InVeNET 2009 and has for sta

ted goal to be a high-profile workshop that brings together state-of-the-art con

tributions on the design, specification, and implementation of architectures and

protocols for current and future applications of VANET. We aim to provide an en

vironment conducive of cross-fertilization between researchers from many areas,

all relevant, in one way or another to the confluence of Intelligent Transportat

ion Systems and VANET. By creative a relaxed, collegial atmosphere, the will fos

ter a dialogue between researchers from industry and academia on the state of th

e art in both ITS and VANET.

We anticipate the publication of a special issue of a high-quality archival jour

nal (IEEE Transactions of Parallel and Distributed Systems, or IEEE Transactions

on Vehicular Technology being likely candidates) dedicated to selected papers f

rom the workshop.

Topic of Interest

Prospective authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts relat

ed to the theory or practice of Intelligent Vehicular Networks. Of particular in

terest are ITS applications that rely directly or indirectly on contributions fr

om VANET. Submissions are being accepted with the understanding that they descri

be original research, neither published nor currently under review elsewhere. To

pics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Vehicular network architectures and protocols

* Mobility management and topology control

* Vehicular network performance modeling and analysis

* Vehicular network medium access control and routing protocols

* Intelligent Transportation Systems and Applications

* Modeling and simulation of Intelligent Vehicular Systems

* Theoretical aspects: performance modeling and analysis

* Organizing coordination and communication

* Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning in Intelligent Vehicular Networks

* Human factors in Intelligent Vehicular Systems

* Information aggregation and dissemination in Intelligent vehicular Networks

* Localization in Intelligent Vehicular Systems

* Bayesian decision systems

* Challenges of V2V and V2I wireless communication

* Security and privacy issues in Intelligent Vehicular Systems

* Applications and case studies

* Real-word test beds

Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE MASS proceedings and appear in the

IEEE Digital Library. At least one author of each accepted paper must register

for the conference at the full conference rate. We anticipate the publication of

a special issue of a high-quality archival journal (IEEE Transactions of Parall

el and Distributed Systems, or IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology being l

ikely candidates) dedicated to selected papers from the workshop.

Important Dates

Submission Due: July 15, 2010

Acceptance Notification: August 31, 2010

Final Manuscript due: September 8, 2010

Workshop Date: November 8, 2010

Submission instructions

All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently unde

r review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Submission implies the wi

llingness of at least one author to attend the workshop and present the paper. A

ccepted papers will be included in the main proceedings of IEEE MASS 2010 and pu

blished by IEEE. You can find detailed submission instructions at http://www.sit
