VEHICULAR COMMUNICATIONS SYMPOSIUM
5 - 8 JULY 2011
Istanbul, Turkey
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~vehicom


CALL FOR PAPERS

Vehicular communications is a cornerstone of future Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). By enabling vehicles to communicate with each other via Inter-Vehicle Communication (IVC) as well as with roadside base stations via Roadside-to-Vehicle Communication (RVC), vehicular networks will contribute to safer and more efficient roads by providing timely information to drivers and concerned authorities.

This symposium is intended to serve as a forum and bring together the researchers and engineers in both academia and industry to exchange ideas, share experiences, and report original work about all aspects of vehicular communications. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of vehicular communications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication
Experiences from real-world deployments and field trials
Innovative safety and non-safety applications
Middleware support
Security, privacy and trust
Medium access and power control protocols
Routing protocols
Cross-layer design
Mobility models and vehicular traffic models
Simulation tools
Network management
Channel modelling
Antenna technologies
Standarization efforts
Radio resource management
Quality of service
Data dissemination and delay-tolerant networking techniques
Vehicular sensor networks
Vehicular social networks

Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the symposium will be published together with those of other IWCMC symposia and workshops, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE/ACM Digital Library (approval pending). Selected papers will be further considered for possible publication in journal special issues.
