CALL FOR PAPERS

1st IEEE International Workshop on Environmental and Social

Impact of Vehicular Communication Systems (EVICS)

http://www7.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~dressler/evics2009/

held in conjunction with

IEEE WoWMoM 2009

June 19, 2009, Kos, Greece

Aims and Scope

The establishment of network connections among vehicles and between

vehicles and an existing network infrastructure is one of the most

challenging research fields in the networking domain. Vehicles can be

seen as a mobile communication infrastructure with strong dynamics

w.r.t. network topology and changing communication channel conditions.

The applications are manifold ranging from comfort services, e.g.

traffic information systems, to safety applications, e.g. emergency

warnings. Until now, the development of protocols was primarily inspired

by existing Internet solutions and the advances in mobile ad hoc

networking. However, the specific characteristics of vehicular networks

may require quite different communication paradigms. For example, the

nodes usually do not have severe power and form factor constraints, and

they might be always on. On the other hand, wireless connections may not

be stable for a longer time period and the network density is expected

to vary from sparse to very dense networks.

This workshop aims to provide a discussion forum for novel solutions and

services looking into V2V and V2I communication issues focusing on

environmental aspects such as optimized CO2 emission, and road traffic

shaping, i.e. optimized usage of available routes for all vehicles.

Furthermore, con-cerning the drivers or users of vehicles, the service

aspect is especially challenging in public trans-portation and for fleet

management. The workshop will highlight the latest achievements in the

research area of vehicular communication, with the goal of bringing

together the different research communities. We especially target

protocols and solutions besides simple "802.11+MANET" based solutions

and explicitly encourage submission of scientifically sound experimental

work. Authors are required to center their work around the environmental

and social impacts of IVC and clearly state in the abstract how one or

more of these issues are addressed in the paper.

We are looking for both technical and position papers presenting new

applications for IVC that we have not seen so far, and new ways to

exploit existing communication techniques for more efficient IVC. Topics

of interest include but are not limited to:

* Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication

* Inter-Vehicular Communication (IVC) and Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET)

* Exploiting IVC and intra-vehicular networks for improved safety

* IVC for reduced CO2 emission and road traffic shaping

* IVC algorithms, protocols, and services (MAC, routing, data

dissemination, Internet-connectivity)

* IVC related security, safety, and privacy issues and conflicts

* Mobility modeling and simulation environments

Submission Guidelines

Submission of both technical papers and position papers is encouraged.

Papers should contain original material and not be previously published,

or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Accepted papers will

be published by the IEEE in the combined WoWMoM 2009 proceedings, hence

manuscripts must be formatted in accordance with the IEEE Computer

Society author guidelines (max. 6 pages, IEEE 8.5x11 conference format).

Submission will be handled by EDAS

(<https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7217&>).
