Call for Papers

The First International Workshop on Wireless Vehicular Networking
Technology (VINT-08), November 17-19, 2008, Maui, Hawaii, USA

http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/VINT08/

To be held in conjunction with The Fourth Annual International
Wireless Internet Conference (WICON 2008)

==================================================================

Aims and Scope
------------------------
The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances
in the development of wireless vehicular networking technologies.
Based on short- to medium-range communication systems (vehicle-to-vehicle
and vehicle-to-roadside), vehicular networks 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, and secure vehicular networks technologies, though,
presents an extraordinary challenge to the wireless research community:
a high degree of communication reliability is needed under unfavorable
channel conditions. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular networks
in terms of mobility behavior and applications scenarios and requirements
makes vehicular networks research an exciting and demanding application-
and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking.

Topics of Interest
--------------------------
Original papers addressing applications and architecture, systems and
protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to
Vehicular Networking are solicited. Papers that bring out interesting
and novel ideas at an early stage are favored over highly-polish
journal-style results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Vehicular mobile ad-hoc networks
- Routing protocols for V2V communications
- MAC layer technologies
- Physical layer and RF level technologies
- Antenna technologies
- Role of V2V communications in Intelligent Transportation Systems
- Safety and non-safety applications
- High-speed mobility management
- Radio resource management and QoS support
- Roadside-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle communication
- Algorithms, protocols and systems for data dissemination
- Channel modeling
- Modulation and coding
- Power control and scalability issues
- Multi-channel organization and operation
- Security issues and countermeasures
- Privacy issues
- Network management
- Simulation frameworks & real-world testbeds

Submissions and Proceedings
---------------------------------------------
Authors are invited to submit an electronic version of original, unpublished
manuscripts via ISAS website (http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/VINT08/ISAS/). The
manuscript should be written in English and follow ACM two-column format with
single-spaced, ten-point font in the text. The maximum manuscript length is
five (5) pages including figures and references. All submitted papers will be
refereed by reviewers in terms of correctness, originality, technical strength,
significance and quality of presentation. Accepted papers will be made
available in the ACM Digital Library.

Important Dates

Submission deadline: Sept. 5, 2008
Notification of acceptance: Sept. 22, 2008
Camera-ready version: October 15, 2008
