Telecommunication Systems, Special Issue on "Vehicular Communications, Networks, and Applications"

Call For Papers
Telecommunication Systems
Special Issue on "Vehicular Communications, Networks, and Applications"


Aims and Scope

Vehicular communication and networking have been identified  as key
technologies for increasing road  safety and  transport  efficiency.
Vehicular networks aim to ensure traffic safety for  drivers, provide
comfort for passengers  and  reduce  transportation time and  fuel
consumption. The development of vehicular  communication and
networking technologies  are expected to enable many potential
applications
, including automatic  collision notification  and prevention,
emergency  management,  assistances for  safe driving, real-time
traffic
congestion notification,  location-based driver  information services,
high-speed tolling, vehicle tracking, automobile Internet access,
and many others.  To facilitate these applications,  many different
types of communication  and  networking would be involved, including
intra-vehicle, vehicle-to-vehicle (V-to-V), vehicle-to-roadside
(V-to-R) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V-to-I) communications.

This  special issue aims to foster the dissemination of high-quality,
original,  unpublished  research  covering all aspects related to
the Vehicular Communications, Networks, and Applications. Topics of
interest include, but not limited to, the followings:

 Availability and Scalability Issues in Vehicular Networks
 Communication Protocol Design for Vehicular Networks
 Cooperative Vehicular Communications
 Cross-layer Design and Optimization for Vehicular Networks
 Emergency Applications and Technologies in Vehicular Networks
 Green Technologies and Vehicular Networks
 Intra-vehicle, V2I, V2R, and V2V Communication Protocols
 Contention and Congestion Control for Vehicular Networks
 Multicast and Broadcast Protocols for Vehicular Networks
 Mobility, Traffic Models and Network Management for Vehicular Networks
 Modulation, Coding, and Channel Modeling for Vehicular Networks
 Multi-Channel Management for Vehicular Networks
 Network Architecture of Vehicular Networks
 Radio Resource Management and QoS Support for Vehicular Networks
 Real-time Experimental Systems and Testbeds for Vehicular Communications
 Security and Privacy Technologies for Vehicular Networks
 Services and Applications of Vehicular Networks
 Simulation Framework and Real-World Testbeds for Vehicular Networks
 Vehicular Network Performance Modeling and Analysis
 Vehicular Network Medium Access Control and Routing Protocols


Submission Guideline

Prospective  authors are invited  to  submit  research  contributions
representing  original,  previously  unpublished  work.  Submitted
papers  will  be  carefully evaluated based on originality,
significance,  technical  soundness,  and  clarity  of  exposition.
Authors
should  follow the  Telecommunication  Systems
(http://www.springer.com/business/business+information+systems/journal/11235)
 manuscript
format as described in the Instruction to Authors. Manuscripts (pdf
and source files) must be directly  emailed  to  the  Guest  Editors,
Chih-Yung Chang, cychang@mail.tku.edu.tw, and Yuh-Shyan Chen,
yschen@mail.ntpu.edu.tw with clear indication that  submission  is
for  the
Special Issue on "Vehicular  Communication, Networks, and
Applications", Telecommunication Systems. All  manuscripts  should
include  a
title page containing the title of the paper, full names and
affiliations,  complete  postal  and  electronic  addresses,  phone
and fax
numbers,  an  abstract,  and  some  keywords.  The  contacting  author
should be clearly identified. In addition, this special issue also
collects best papers from IEEE International Symposium on Pervasive
Computing,  Algorithms, and Networks (I-SPAN 2009), and IEEE Workshop
on "Vehicular Communications, Networks, and Applications" (VCNA-2009),
Taiwan, ROC, 2009.
