International Workshop on Vehicular Communications, Networks, and Applications (VCNA 2009)

December 14-16, 2009, Kaohsiung, Taiwan

(in conjunction with the 10th International Symposium on Pervasive Systems,

Algorithms and Networks, I-SPAN 2009)

TThe Vehicular Wireless Networks and Vehicular Intelligent Transportation Systems

have recently received much attention. The aim is to improve traffic safety, protect

environment by reducing traffic congestion and fuel consumption, and enable a

plethora of new applications such as mobile infotainment. To facilitate both safety

and non-safety applications, there is a necessity to integrate communications and

computing technologies into vehicular and transportation systems. To facilitate

these applications, many different types of communications and networking would be

involved, including intra-vehicle, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-roadside

(V2R) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications. Therefore, this workshop

intends to foster state-of-the-art research in the areas of Vehicular

Communications, Networks, and Applications through a forum for novel results and

solutions to solve various problems and challenges foreseen in the future.
