HIGHLIGHTS
----------
* Proceedings will be published in Springer LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer
Science www.springer.com/lncs) and indexed by relevant databases

CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------
We invite prospective authors for contributions in the theory and/or
practice of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and communication
technologies for vehicles on Road (e.g. cars, tracks and buses), Air (e.g.
aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles) and Rail (e.g. Trains, metros and
trams). Areas of interest of the workshop include (but are not limited to):

* Vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure and In-vehicle
communications
* Vehicle-to-Internet communications, Roadside infrastructure and core
network
* Radio technologies for V2X (radio resource management and interference
management, physical layer, propagation models, antennas, etc.)
* Protocols for vehicular networks (MAC/link layer, routing, IP mobility,
dissemination, transport, applications, etc.) and performance enhancements
* New trends in VANETS, e.g. integration of electric vehicles in smart grid
communications
* Data dissemination, processing, and aggregation in vehicular networks
* Safety, reliability, and dependability in vehicular networks
* Mobility management, Network management, traffic modeling and
optimization
* Trajectory optimization and trajectory and separation management
* Information management, enhanced communication, surveillance and
navigation
* Digital maps and localization using communication technologies and GNSS
applications
* Applications for vehicular networks: multimedia applications, safety vs.
non-safety applications
* Cooperative ITS solutions, traveller information services and multi-modal
transport
* Analytical, simulation, and experimental systems
* Field operational testing and results
* Recent standardization efforts and problems (e.g. 802.11p, ITS G5, ERTMS,
LTE-R)
* International harmonization activities (e.g. Europe vs. US vs. Asia)
* Security and privacy in vehicular communications

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 (Please refer to LNCS author
guidelines webpage for templates
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0). All papers
will be reviewed by an International Technical Program Committee with
appropriate expertise.

A properly anonymized (should not contain the names/details of the authors)
version of the paper has to be submitted to http://edas.info/N18831 .
