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.

IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on Security and Privacy in Emerging Wireless Networks

********************************************************************
CFP: IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine
Special Issue on Security and Privacy in Emerging Wireless Networks
http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/pci/info/cfp/cfpwireless1010.htm
********************************************************************
(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message)

Rapid advances in wireless ad hoc networking have extended its application
from mobile ad hoc networks and wireless sensor networks to emerging
wireless networks including wireless mesh networks, delay-tolerant networks,
vehicular networks, and urban sensing networks. While facilitating
ubiquitous network access and also social interactions, these emerging
networks are particularly vulnerable to numerous privacy and security
threats. For example, attackers may jeopardize the privacy of users in
vehicular and urban sensing networks; the adversary may also compromise
selected nodes in a tactical delay-tolerant network and thus fail the
critical mission of the network. There is clearly an urgent need to protect
emerging wireless networks from various security and privacy threats,
thereby eliminating a major impediment to their widespread adoption of such
networks.

Scope of Contributions

This special issue is to disseminate cutting-edge research results,
highlight research challenges and open issues, and promote further research
interests and activities on security and privacy in emerging wireless
networks. We are more interested in contributions on wireless mesh networks,
delay-tolerant networks, vehicular networks, and urban sensing networks, but
we also welcome submissions related to mobile ad hoc networks and wireless
sensor networks. We seek original and unpublished contributions on topics
including, but not limited to:

- - Authentication and access control
- - Secure routing and MAC protocols
- - Privacy and anonymity
- - Secure localization
- - Secure time synchronization
- - Secure data aggregation
- - Secure location services
- - Key management
- - Intrusion detection and tolerance
- - Performance and security/privacy tradeoffs
- - Secure data storage and queries
- - Novel threats and attacks
- - Cross-layer security/privacy designs
- - Security and privacy under resource constraints

Submission Instructions

Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style
comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. However,
papers presenting original contributions will also be considered, as long as
the presentation is accessible and the paper length is kept within the
appropriate limits. Articles should have no more than 4500 words, no more
than 6 tables/figures, and the abstract should have no more than 250 words.
With regard to both the content and formatting style of the submissions,
prospective contributors should follow the IEEE WCM guidelines for authors,
which can be found at:
http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/pci/info/pub_guidelines.html. Authors should
submit a PDF format of their complete papers via the EasyChair Conference
Management System at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wcmwisec10

Wireless communication technologies are undergoing rapid advancements. The
last few years have experienced a steep growth in research on wireless
networks having attractive claims. Researchers are currently envisioning
different attractive properties of wireless systems such as the ability to
self-organize, self-configure, self-heal, self-manage and self-maintain.
These systems are increasingly becoming dynamic and they are expected to
perform many tasks autonomously by adapting to the dynamics of the networks.
With the wide range of applications that need to be supported in these
systems, there exists increasing expectations about what the current and the
future generation networks can do. Many of these requirements are pivoted in
the ability of the networks to adapt to the network dynamism. Adaptation to
changing environments, in turn, often leads to increased performance of the
networks. This Special Issue aims to publish high quality research papers
relating to different aspects of adaptive communication in wireless
networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, all aspects of
adaptive communication in:

.           Broadband wireless access networks

.           Wireless Internet

.           Software defined radio

.           Bluetooth technology

.           Ultra-wide band radio

.           Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks

cooperation among networking researchers and theoreticians establish the
motivation behind this special issue.

The objective of this special issue is to gather recent advances in the
areas of wireless ad hoc and sensor networks, with a focus on theoretical
and algorithmic aspect. In particular, it will concentrate on distributed
algorithms, randomized algorithms, analysis and modeling, optimizations, and
theoretical methods in design and analysis of networking protocol (at link
layer or network layer) for wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. Specific
topics for this special issue dedicated to theoretical and algorithmic
foundations include but are not limited to:

* Channel assignment and management

* Distributed and localized algorithms

* Dynamic and random networks

* Dynamic graph algorithms

* Energy conservation methods

* Localization and location tracking

* Mechanism design and game theory

* Modeling and complexity analysis

Introduction:
=============
Nowadays, mobile and wireless communications become a commodity and we have
experienced an explosive increasing in wireless data applications, such as
real-time multimedia services (e.g., VoIP, video streaming). In recent
years, we have assisted to the emerging diversity of wireless systems,
architectures and standards. The popular emerging wireless networks include
3G (e.g., UMTS/HSPA, EV-DO), LTE/SAE, WiMAX, WiFi, mobile ad hoc networks
