[Tccc] CFP: IEEE INFOCOM 2010 Workshop on Cognitive Wireless Communications and Networking

IEEE INFOCOM 2010 Workshop on Cognitive Wireless Communications and Networking

March 15-19, 2010
San Diego, CA, USA

http://www.csit.carleton.ca/~fyu/CWCN10/index.htm

Scope:

The radio frequency spectrum is becoming a scarce resource. Conventional fixed spectrum allocation cannot utilize the resource efficiently. Cognitive radio is a novel technology which improves the spectrum utilization through detection of unused radio spectrum and dynamic spectrum allocation. Cognitive wireless communications and cognitive wireless networks have potential to bring tremendous economic benefits to both customer and telecom operators. In recent years, cognitive wireless communications and networking arouse wide interests from both academia and industry. Many interdisciplinary research efforts and prototyping work are going on, including, spectrum sensing, coexistence mechanisms, medium access, QoS provisioning, environment awareness, cross layer techniques, upper layer studies, policy and pricing, signal processing, information theory, artificial intelligence, etc. The Workshop on "Cognitive Wireless Communications and Networking" provides a forum for discussions of all these most recent developments and brings together industry and academia, engineers and researchers. The Workshop is in conjunction with IEEE Infocom'2010 (IEEE Sponsored) conference (http://www.ieee-infocom.org/)

[Tccc] First Call for Papers: JCM Special Issue on Road and Vehicular Communications and Applications

Dear colleagues,

Enclosed is a first Call of Papers for the Journal of Communications
(JCM) Special Issue on Road and Vehicular Communications and
Applications. Details are below or at
http://www.academypublisher.com/jcm/si/jcmsi_rvca.html.

-----
CALL FOR PAPERS
Journal of Communications (JCM, ISSN 1796-2021)
Special Issue on Road and Vehicular Communications and Applications


The promise of safer roads and enhanced driver experience enabled by
radio communication of location and traffic information among vehicles
(V2V), as well as between vehicles and roadside infrastructure (V2I),
has attracted researchers for a long time. Generally, progress has been
relatively slow until a significant boost in the last few years became
possible thanks to recent developments in standardization and enabling
technology. The progress achieved in the development of the IEEE 802.11p
standard for the PHY and MAC communication layers and the IEEE 1609
suite of standards defining higher-layer functionalities, such as
resource management and security, and the allocation of spectrum in the
Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) band in several countries,
have led to growing experimental testbed evaluation of related
technologies by industry and state road authorities. Despite these
advances, the space of road and vehicular communications is in its
infancy compared to more mature applications such as Wi-Fi or cellular
networks, in both the fundamental research and the practical sense.
There are many open questions remaining, ranging from physical-layer
issues of the wireless channel behavior in the highly dynamic and
interference-prone outdoor road environment, to specialized solutions
for channel access, routing and mobility management, and to novel
communication paradigms that go beyond the traditional point-to-point
exchange of messages (e.g. geocasting). Above all, it is not yet clear
which of the wealth of potential applications, ranging from safety and
collision avoidance to driver assistance to traffic management to
passenger infotainment, will take hold in the market and prove to be
popular with the public.

The Special Issue on Road and Vehicular Communications and Applications
is soliciting original contributions on related advances in theoretical
research, standardization work, experimental evaluation, and practical
implementation and deployment. Submissions reporting on accomplished
results as well as detailed surveys of the state-of-the-art are welcome.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

* Wireless channel behavior in the road and vehicular environment
* Transceiver design for vehicles and roadside infrastructure
* Medium-access protocols for vehicular communication
* Protocols and algorithms for vehicular networks (VANET)
* Cooperative communication and relaying
* Opportunistic routing and forwarding
* Location, navigation and mobility management
* Geographical routing methods
* Security and privacy in vehicular communications
* V2V and V2I communications
* Intra-vehicle wireless communication
* Public transport communication systems
* DSRC/WAVE standards
* Experimental evaluation and testbed deployments
* Applications of road and vehicular communications in safety and
traffic management
