CFP: 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unpublished  research  covering all aspects related to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

[WoWMoM 2010]: call for workshop proposals

WoWMoM 2010
11th IEEE International Symposium on a
World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks

http://wowmom2010.netgroup.uniroma2.it/

Montreal, QC Canada


---------------------------------------------------------------
CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

The next IEEE International Symposium on a World of Wireless, Mobile
and Multimedia Networks (WoWMoM 2010) will be the 11th event in
its series. This symposium intends to provide a definitive forum
for networking, software systems and multimedia research in the
wireless/mobile area involving both computer science and
electrical engineering communities.

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,

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

Important Dates
