ICST - ISVCS 2008 Call for Paper (deadline is approaching 3/22/08)

[Sorry for cross posting]

Call for Papers

SCOPE

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.

PAPERS

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
