ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS
ACM VANET 2008
Vehicle to Vehicle -- Vehicle to Roadside -- Vehicle to Internet
The Fifth ACM International Workshop on VehiculAr Inter-NETworking
In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2008
Date: To be announced
San Francisco, California, USA
Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE
http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2008/
Important Dates (tentative):
Paper Submission Deadline: April 6th
Notification of Acceptance: June 6th
Camera-Ready Deadline: June 27th
The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in
the development of vehicular inter-networking (VANET) technologies.
Based on short- and medium-range communication as well as on cellular
systems, vehicular inter-networking 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, secure,
and privacy-preserving 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 inter-networking in terms of
mobility behavior, applications scenarios, and application requirements
makes VANET research an exciting and demanding application- and
purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking.
Furthermore,
VANET present a very active field of research, development,
standardization, and field trials. Throughout the world, there are
many national and international projects in government, industry, and
academia devoted to VANET. These include 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.
Following the successes of VANET 2004
held in Philadelphia, VANET 2005 held in Cologne, Germany, VANET 2006
in Los Angeles, CA, and VANET 2007 in Montréal, QC, Canada, the Fifth
ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Inter-Networking (VANET) will
be held in San Francisco, CA in conjunction with MobiCom 2008.
Authors
are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the
theory or practice of vehicular inter-networking (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:
- Channel modeling
- Modulation and coding
- Power control and scalability issues
- Medium access control protocols
- Multi-channel organization and operation
- Communication protocol design
- Safety and non-safety applications
- Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication
- Simulation frameworks
- Field operational testing
- Network management
- Security issues and countermeasures
- Privacy issues
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 10 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 2008 web page at:
http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2008/.
