ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS
VANET 2007
The Fourth ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks
In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2007
September 10, 2007
Montréal, QC, Canada
Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE
http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2007/
Important Dates:
Paper Submission Deadline: May 14, 2007, 11:59 p.m. GMT
Notification of Acceptance: June 18, 2007
Camera-Ready Deadline: July 16, 2007
The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in
the development of wireless vehicular ad hoc networking (VANET)
technologies. Based on short- to medium-range communication
systems (vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside), vehicular ad hoc
networks will enable vehicular safety applications (including collision
and other safety warnings) as well as non-safety applications (like
real-time traffic congestion and routing information, high-speed
tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others).
The creation of high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, and
secure VANET technologies presents an extraordinary challenge for the
wireless research community. A high degree of communication
reliability is needed under unfavorable conditions. Clearly, the
specificity of vehicular ad hoc networks in terms of mobility behavior
and applications scenarios and requirements makes VANET research an
exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline
of wireless networking.
Following the successes of VANET 2004 held in Philadelphia, VANET 2005
held in Cologne, Germany, and VANET 2006 in Los Angeles, CA, the Fourth
ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET) will be
held in Montréal, QC, Canada September 14, 2007, in conjunction
with MobiCom 2007.
Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to
the theory or practice of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET). All
submissions must describe original research, not published or currently
under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Areas
of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Safety and non-safety applications
- Roadside-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle communication
- Communication protocol design
- Channel modeling
- Modulation and coding
- Power control and scalability issues
- Multi-channel organization and operation
- Security issues and countermeasures
- Privacy issues
- Network management
- Simulation frameworks & real-world testbeds
VANET present a highly active field of research, development,
standardization and field trials. Throughout the world, there are
many national/international projects in government, industry, and
academia devoted to VANET. These include the consortia like
Vehicle Safety Consortium (US), Car-2-Car Communication Consortium
(Europe) and Advanced Safety Vehicle Program (Japan), standardization
efforts like IEEE 802.11p (WAVE), and field trials like the large-scale
Vehicle Infrastructure Integration Program (VII) in the US.
Submission Instructions
All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must
be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages (single- or double-column),
in font no smaller than 11 points, and must fit properly on US
Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins.
Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through a
double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are
withheld from the reviewers. Detailed instructions for paper
submission will be posted on the VANET 2007 web page at:
http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2007/.
