Elsevier Journal of Pervasive and Mobile Computing - Special Issue on
"Vehicular Sensor Networks and Mobile Sensing
over Wide-Scale Deployment Environments"
www.elsevier.com/locate/pmc
Paper submission deadline: October 30, 2010
**************************************************************************************
The development of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and
Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) based Vehicular
Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) is one of the most
interesting and active research area nowadays,
which is attracting significant efforts from both
the industry and the academia, not only from the
automotive and Intelligent Transportation Systems
(ITSs) communities, but also from the fields of
wireless and mobile sensor networks, smart
environments, and mobile collaborative
applications in general. In this context, many
national and international collaboration projects
currently ongoing practically demonstrate the
relevant government, industry, and academia interest in the field.
In particular, Vehicular Sensor Networks (VSNs)
are becoming increasingly interesting and popular
due to recent advances in inter-vehicular
communication technologies and decreasing cost of
communication devices. Differently from
traditional wireless sensor nodes, vehicles are
not typically affected by energy constraints and
can easily be equipped with powerful processing
units, wireless communication devices, GPS, and
sensing devices such as chemical detectors,
still/video cameras, vibration and acoustic
sensors. Thus, they enable brand new and
promising sensing applications, such as traffic
reporting, relief to environmental monitoring,
distributed surveillance, only to mention a few
promising (and not the most visionary) service provisioning scenarios.
The design, implementation, and deployment of
dynamic, opportunistic, collaborative, scalable,
efficient, reliable, robust, and secured mobile
sensing applications for VSNs, especially over
realistic and large-scale deployment environments
such as municipalities, presents extraordinary
challenges to the pervasive and mobile computing
research community. This special issue intends to
disseminate the latest research results in this
emergent research area, by providing a fresh
snapshot of the current state-of-the-art in
VANETs, VSNs, and mobile sensing. To this
purpose, we are seeking high-quality papers
reporting original research results and practical
experiences of system
design/prototyping/deployment related to topics
that include, but are not limited to:
- Original algorithms and protocols for VSN mobile sensing
- Original middleware and platforms for the support of VSN applications
- Case studies of mobile sensing applications
over wide-scale urban environments
- Vehicular network architectures and protocols for mobile sensing
- Intra-vehicular sensor network and integration
with (possibly legacy) embedded systems
- Efficient integration with wide-area networks
and with municipal mesh networks
- Routing, addressing, and transport-layer issues for mobile sensing
- Efficient QoS support for quality-sensitive mobile sensing applications
- Delay-tolerant and real-time supports for VSN mobile sensing
- Data dissemination solutions for VSN mobile sensing applications
- Performance, scalability, reliability, and
efficiency of VSN supports and applications
- Safety, enhanced navigation, and car alert supports/services
- Vehicular collision avoidance using distributed sensing technologies
- Human-machine interface for VSN mobile sensing applications
- Mobility models and vehicle traffic models
- Simulation aspects of V2V, V2I, and VSNs
- Emulation and testbeds for large-scale VSNs
- Practical experience with standards (802.11p,
CALM, P1609, …), standard development and evolution
- Security, encryption, and privacy for VSNs
Submission process:
Authors should prepare and submit manuscripts
according to the Guide for Authors as published
in the Journal Web site at
http://www.ees.elsevier.com/pmc/. Manuscripts
must not have been previously published or
currently under consideration for publication
elsewhere. If a similar version of the paper has
been published in a conference, the submitted
version should contain significant
additions/enhancements; in that case, authors are
requested to submit their published conference
articles and a summary document explaining the
enhancements made in the journal version.
