IEEE Communications Magazine - Automotive Networking Series

************************************************************
The series on Automotive Networking is published twice a year, with issues
appearing in May and November. The Automotive Networking series is created
to address the growing importance in vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and
vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications.  Such importance led to
allocation of new spectrum for this kind of communications and creation of
R&D partnerships among governments, transportation authorities, automobile
manufacturers, and the academic community.  The Automotive Networking
series invites manuscript submissions in the areas of:
"       Automotive networking applications and services
"       Automotive networks and system architectures
"       Physical and link layer technologies
"       Networking technologies
"       Security and privacy technologies
"       System management and operations
"       Simulation and performance evaluation for automotive networking
"       Experimental systems, testbeds and field trials for vehicular
communications
"       Impact assessment
"       Emerging standards in automotive networking
Manuscripts submitted to the Series will be considered on a rolling-basis.
All submissions are peer reviewed to ensure that only the highest-quality
original articles are published.  Submitted articles should be written in
a clear, concise language and at a level suitable for practicing engineers
engaged in the design, development, and application of products, systems
and networks.  The length of the article should not exceed six magazine
pages (approximately 4500 words), should not contain more than six to
eight graphics / tables / photographs, and should not include more than 15
references.
Manuscripts must be submitted through the magazine's submissions Web site

Workshop CARS@EDCC2010 - Call for Contributions

 

CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

 

Workshop CARS 2010

Critical Automotive applications: Robustness and Safety

April 27, 2010

 

http://www.laas.fr/CARS@EDCC2010

 

 

Organized within the framework of the

 

     8th European Dependable Computing Conference (EDCC-2010)

               Valencia, Spain, April 28-30, 2010

                 http://edcc.dependability.org/

 

 

*** Workshop objectives

 

The increasing range and complexity of automotive applications, the need to master development costs using off-the-shelf  components, the coexistence of critical and non-critical applications, and the emergence of new architectural paradigms may have a strong impact on dependability of automotive embedded systems. This situation calls for novel design and validation methods, but also tools to improve the robustness of automotive systems and their safety properties. The evolution of automotive systems is currently supported by standards (like AUTOSAR and ISO26262) that respectively advocate a software architecture but also recommend specific development approaches.

 

The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the design, implementation and operation of critical automotive applications and systems. Particular emphasis will be put on dependability issues, software engineering for robustness, security and safety issues, real-time embedded systems technologies, architectural solutions and development processes for dependable automotive embedded systems.

 

Topics of interest for the workshop include (but are not limited to):

• Architectures for robust automotive application.

• Hardware mechanisms for dependable automotive systems.

• Real-time operating systems, WCET estimation, etc.

• Coordination, communication, networking and distributed control architectures.

• Analysis and verification techniques for automotive systems.

• Middleware and tool support for dependable embedded automotive systems.

• Safety architectures, processes, analyses, and standards .

• Failure data collection and analysis, diagnosis approaches.

• Practical experience and case studies on critical applications.

• Modelling and code generation techniques.

 

Primary application areas of interest to the workshop focus on the automotive domain. However, methods and techniques developed in other fields of application of critical embedded systems (e.g., avionics, railways, space, etc.) can be of interest for the automotive domain.
