The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in the development of vehicular inter-networking (VANET) technologies. Based on short- and medium-range communication as well as on cellular systems, vehicular inter-networking 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, secure, and privacy-preserving VANET technologies presents an

extraordinary challenge for the wireless research community. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular inter-networking in terms of mobility behavior, applications scenarios, and application requirements makes VANET research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking.

Furthermore, VANET present a very active field of research, development, standardization, and field trials. Throughout the world,

there are many national and international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to VANET. These include consortia like Vehicle Safety Consortium (US), Car-2-Car Communication Consortium (Europe), and Advanced Safety Vehicle Program (Japan), standardization efforts like IEEE 802.11p (WAVE), and field trials like the large-scale Vehicle Infrastructure Integration Program (VII) in the US.

Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of vehicular inter-networking (VANET). All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal.

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Channel modeling

- Modulation and coding

- Power control and scalability issues

- Medium access control protocols

- Multi-channel organization and operation

- Communication protocol design

- Safety and non-safety applications

- Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication

- Simulation frameworks

- Field operational testing

- Network management

- Security issues and countermeasures

- Privacy issues

Submission Instructions

All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages (single- or double-column), in font no smaller than 11 points, and must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Detailed instructions for paper submission will be posted on the VANET 2009 web page at:
