The 3rd IEEE Workshop on Automotive Networking and Applications

(AutoNet 2008)

 

Co-located with IEEE GLOBECOM 2008

December 4, 2008 (Thursday) – New Orleans, LA, USA

Coupled with advances in wireless communications and computing technologies, there have been significant recent efforts to enhance and integrate the communications and computing technologies into the vehicle and transportation systems to enhance vehicle safety, reduce traffic congestion, and protect environment. Significant industrial and governmental efforts are underway to push for vehicle-to-vehicle / vehicle-to-infrastructure networking functions in vehicles and highway infrastructure. When such communications and networking capabilities are integrated into vehicles and the infrastructure, not only safety but many other emerging applications can be supported for intelligent interactions with the transportation system, with other vehicles, and inside vehicles, to help with traffic management, vehicle diagnostics, mobile commerce, and much more.

 

This one-day workshop intends to bring together researchers, professionals, and practitioners to discuss and address recent developments and challenges in deploying vehicle-to-vehicle / vehicle-to-infrastructure networking technologies and their applications.

 

Specifically, we solicit original research contributions addressing the following areas:

 

* Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications

* Vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications

* Vehicular ad hoc networks

* Potential applications of V2V and V2I communications including ITS

* Protocols for V2V and V2I communications (MAC, routing, mobility management, etc.)

* Security and privacy issues in V2V and V2I networks

* Physical layer and RF level technologies for V2V and V2I communications

* Antenna technologies for V2V and V2I communications

* Radio resource management and QoS support for V2V and V2I communications

* Information networking over V2V, V2R and next-generation networks

* Simulation / performance evaluation techniques for V2V and V2I communications

* Algorithms, protocols and systems for data dissemination in V2V and V2I communications

* Experimental systems and testbeds for V2V and V2I communications

* Standardization updates on V2V and V2I communications

 

All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will appear on the IEEE Xplore as well as in the Workshop proceedings (CD-ROM and booklet of papers).
