Nets4Cars 2011 & Nets4Trains 2011 -- Call for Papers
When: 22-24 March 2011
Where: German Aerospace Center (DLR), Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany
Submission Deadline: 14 November 2010
The 3rd International Workshop on Communication Technologies for Vehicles (Nets4Cars 2011, http://www.nets4cars.org) provides an international forum on the latest technologies and research in the field of intra- and inter-vehicle communications (protocols and standards), mobility and traffic models (models, methodologies, and techniques), testing, and applications.
SCOPE
Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research results related to the theory or practice of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) in the framework of the following main topics (not limited to):
* vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-roadside communications
* intra-vehicle communications
* vehicle-to-Internet communications
* new trends in VANETS, e.g. integration of electric vehicles in smart grid communications
* mobility and vehicular traffic models
* information collection and dissemination
* analytical and simulation techniques
* experimental systems and field operational testing
* protocol performance enhancements
* safety and non-safety related applications
* recent standardization efforts and problems (e.g. 802.11p)
* international harmonisation activities (e.g. Europe vs. US vs. Japan)
Nets4Trains: Nets4Cars 2011 will also host a track on Communication technologies for vehicles in the Railway Transportation (Nets4Trains). The aspiration of the 1st International Workshop on Communication Technologies for Vehicles in the Railway Transportation (Nets4Trains 2011) is to provide an international forum on the latest technologies and research challenges associated with the design and implementation of railway intra- and inter-vehicle communications (physical layer, protocols and standards), mobility and traffic models (models, methodologies, and techniques), testing, and applications.
Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research results related to the theory or practice of intelligent railway transportation systems and railway vehicular ad hoc networks in the framework of the following main topics:
* train-to-train communications
* train-to-vehicle communications
* train-to-infrastructure communications
* intra-train communications
* train-to-Internet communications and multimedia applications
* train localisation using communication technology
* mobility and traffic models
* information collection and dissemination
* analytical and simulation techniques
* experimental systems and field operational testing
* protocol performance enhancements
* safety and non-safety related applications
* traveller information services
* multi-modal transport
SUBMISSION
Authors are invited to submit full papers comprising original work, not previously published, in English of max. 12 pages (or max. 8 pages for work in progress) in LNCS single-column format. All papers will be reviewed by an international program committee with appropriate expertise. Submissions must present original work that has not been previously published, and is not under submission else-where. The ideal submission should provide an insightful survey of existing work, introduce a radically new concept, or present concrete, significant, transferable research based on the implementation and evaluation of a working system. All papers submitted for review are subject to a double-blind review process, i.e. must not contain any information revealing the identity of the authors (anonymization). The final version of all papers must include a title, complete contact information for all authors, and key-words on the cover page.
A properly anonymized version of the paper has to be submitted to the Nets4Cars page at EDAS not later than the submission deadline listed below using the following link: http://edas.info/N9483
IMPORTANT DATES
Submission due: 14 Nov 2010
Notification date: 22 Dec 2010
Camera-ready due: 07 Jan 2011
Workshop: 22-24 Mar 2011
PUBLICATION
Accepted papers will be presented by their authors at the workshop to be held in the Munich area and published in the Springer Lecture Notes on Computer Science (tbc.). Registration for the workshop by at least one of the authors and presenting the paper is a mandatory requirement for having the paper included in the proceedings.
VENUE
The workshop will be held at the premises of the Institute of Communications and Navigation, German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Oberpfaffenhofen near Munich, Germany.
