*****************************************************************
2008 International Workshop on Wireless Communications for Intelligent
Transportation Systems (WITS-08), December 13th ~ 15th, 2008, Hainan Island,
China.
http://home.simula.no/~yanzhang/WITS/
In conjunction with the 2nd International Conference on Future Generation
Communication and Networking (FGCN 2008), http://www.sersc.org/FGCN2008/
SCOPE & Topics
===============
A number of wireless communications technologies have been developed in
recent years to meet the increasing needs of high-speed cordless connections
in civil and military applications. The advances include WiFi (IEEE 802.11),
WiMAX (IEEE 802.16), Wireless PAN (IEEE 802.15), sensor networks, Bluetooth,
mesh/ad hoc networks, RFID, mobile IP, mobile management, smart antenna,
Radio-over-fiber, OFDM/OFDMA, MIMO, cooperative communications, cognitive
radio, and so on. These emerging technologies will significantly impact the
design and operation of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), which aims
to effectively provide higher vehicles safety, traffic management, and
communications among vehicles and transport infrastructure. Currently,
governmental institutes and societies in North America, Europe, Japan, and
China, etc., are actively developing advanced wireless technologies for
road, rail and maritime transport systems. For instance, the Dedicated Short
Range Communications (DSRC) band has been allocated in the USA at 5.9 GHz
for vehicle-to-roadside (V2R) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications.
The IEEE 802.11p working group is developing enhancements of 802.11
standards to support ITS, vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), vehicular
telematics, and infotainment applications.
This workshop covers the area of wireless communications technologies for
ITS applications. It will bring together researchers to present new results
and describe work in progress to reflect the latest advances in the state of
the art in design, modeling, simulation, and applications of this area.
The topics of the workshop cover, but not limited to, the following:
* Smart antenna in ITS
* Millimeter-wave Radar in ITS
* RFID in ITS
* Radio channel modeling for ITS
* IEEE 802.11p for ITS
* Dedicated Short Range Communications in ITS
* Wireless communications for Maritime ITS
* Sensor networks and technologies for ITS
* Ad hoc/mesh networks for ITS
* Mobile management in ITS
* Vehicular networks
* Heterogeneous networks for ITS
* Digital maps and location technologies
