IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (WiVeC)

Wireless vehicular communications has been identified as a key
technology for increasing road safety and transport efficiency, and
providing Internet access on the move to ensure wireless ubiquitous
connectivity. The potential of this technology has been acknowledged
with the establishment of ambitious research programs worldwide in
Europe, US and Asia.

The IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) currently covers through
its areas of interest (Mobile Radio, Transportation Systems and
Automotive Electronics) all technical aspects needed to make wireless
vehicular communications a reality. As a result, the IEEE VTS society
decided to establish a technical symposium on wireless vehicular
communications co-located with the reputed IEEE VTC conferences.

The IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications
(WiVeC) will cover all vehicular wireless communications aspects of
Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) and
Vehicle-to-Person (V2P) communications, including implications on
transport efficiency and safety, implications on automotive
electronics, liability issues, standardizations efforts and spectrum
assignment.

After the successful first and second WiVeC editions in 2007 and 2008,
the third IEEE WiVeC symposium will be co-located with the 71th IEEE
Vehicular Technology Conference 2010 Spring conference, and will take
place at the Grand Hotel in Taipei on the 16th and 17th of May 2010.
Combined registrations packages will be offered for WiVeC and VTC
events.

All accepted papers (full length and demo papers) will be included in
the VTC 2010-Spring conference proceedings and will be published on
the IEEE Xplore database.

Note: VTC Fall editions are traditionally located in North America,
while VTC Spring is located in other areas of the world. Since WiVeC
was originally launched co-located with VTC Fall editions, the IEEE
Vehicular Technology Society decided that WiVeC would take place every
year and a half in order to ensure that the conference is
alternatively co-located with VTC Fall and Spring editions. This
resulted in that there was no WiVeC edition in 2009.

Topics of interest
------------------
The WiVec Symposium seeks original papers - not published or currently
under review for another workshop, conference, or journal - in the
area of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), and
vehicle-to-person (V2P) wireless communications. Vehicular
communication areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

* RF technologies, antenna design, physical layer and propagation models.
* Radio resource management and interference management.
* Spectrum assignment and EMC regulations.
* Architecture, networking protocols (including ad-hoc, routing, data
dissemination, etc) and their evalutation.
* QoS and cross-layer optimization design.
* Communications systems and technologies.
* Testbeds and simulation platforms.
* Interworking with sensor network technologies.
* In-car electronics and embedded integration of wireless vehicular
communications.
* Roadside infrastructure.
* Mobility management, mobility and vehicle traffic models.
* Digital maps and location technologies.
* Decision and control issues.
* Human-Machine Interface.
* Applications (Ecall, toll collection, traffic information, wireless
diagnosis etc.).
* Security, liability and privacy.
* Standards development, business models, policies (e.g., Cooperative
aspects of vehicular communication).
* Assessment of impact on transport efficiency and safety.
* Scalability issues in metropolitan-wide vehicular networks.

Submissions
-----------
Authors are encouraged to submit full length papers (maximum 5 pages)
or demo papers (maximum 2 pages) following the submission guidelines
provided at http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2010/
Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by
the IEEE and will be included in the IEEE Xplore digital library.

Important Dates
---------------
Paper Submission Deadline: 24 December 2009
Notification of acceptance: 25 January 2010
Camera-ready papers due: 15 February 2010

The WoWMoM Organizing Committee invites proposals for
workshops affiliated with the conference. The purpose of these
workshops is to provide a platform for presenting novel ideas in
a less formal and possibly more focused way than at the
conference itself. Affiliated workshops will be held prior to
the main conference. All papers included in the WoWMoM 2010 Workshops
will appear in the conference proceedings published by IEEE.

Workshops Proposals are solicited in all areas and topics pertaining to
wireless mobile and multimedia networking.
Workshops addressing emerging research directions in these areas
are highly welcome.

Each workshop proposal must include:
- The name of the workshop.
- The names, addresses, and a short bio of the organizers.
- A brief description (up to 1 page) of the technical issues
  that the workshop will address, and the reasons why the
  workshop is of interest at this time.
- The names of potential program committee members.
- The planned format of the workshop, including a strategy to
  facilitate lively discussions and attendees involvement.
- If applicable, a description of past versions of the workshop,
  including dates, organizers, number of submitted and accepted
  papers, number of attendees.
- If the workshop does not have any past editions,
  an estimate of the expected number of submitted and accepted
  papers, and of the expected number of attendees.
- A tentative call for papers.
- A description of the plans for publicity and workshop web site.

Workshop proposals should be submitted, no later than October 15, 2009,
by e-mail (in PDF format) with "WoWMoM 2010 Workshop Proposal" in the
subject,
to *both* WoWMoM 2010 Workshop Co-Chairs
at the address wowmom2010proposals@iit.cnr.it.
