IMPORTANT DATES - EXTENDED
Paper registration: March 22, 2008 (extended)
Paper submission: March 29, 2008 (extended)
Notification of acceptance: May 4, 2008
Camera-ready version due: May 18, 2008

THEME
The ISVCS is an annual event that seeks to bring together people
from academia, industry and government interested in building
and using vehicular computing systems, middleware, protocols,
services and applications. The symposium is primarily interested
in papers reporting on innovative research resulting in real
implementations and working prototypes. Work in progress and new
ideas will also be accepted as well as presentations of new
products. The program will consist of technical sessions,
product/industrial presentations, a keynote, a demonstration
session, a poster session and one panel, scheduled over 2.5
days. During the event, an industrial exhibition will be also
organized. Short tutorials, especially in non-technical related
areas, such as transportation policies and social aspects will
also be organized, in order to offer a multi-disciplinary
perspective on the field. The event is co-located with
MobiQuitous 2008 (http://www.mobiquitous.org/), allowing
researchers and practitioners from these related fields to meet
and exchange their ideas and experiences.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
The symposium calls for three categories of contributions:
research, position and product presentation papers. Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Design and implementation of computer systems for
network-connected vehicles
- Middleware and service architectures for safety, road sensing,
route planning, in-car networking and other vehicle-centric
applications
- Protocols for data collection and dissemination over
network-connected cars
- Security and privacy issues in vehicular networks, systems,
services and applications
- Location-aware computing models for vehicular systems
- Driver-to-computer interfaces
- Data management systems for road sensing and traffic monitoring
- Vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication
protocols
- Inter-vehicle distributed systems for entertainment and gaming
- Pervasive computing applications using vehicular networks
- Tools and methodologies for vehicular computing systems
verification and evaluation
- Fault-tolerance solutions for vehicular computing systems
- Maintenance for vehicular computing software
- Experience reports of testing vehicular computing systems on
real-world conditions
- Policies, laws and regulations for adopting vehicular
computing technologies
- Social and psychological implications of vehicular computing
applications
