                   CALL FOR PAPERS
******************************************************************
The 4th IEEE International Workshop on Vehicular Information Services 
for the Internet of Things (VISIT '19)
(https://visit19.weebly.com/)

Held in conjunction with the IEEE 90th Vehicular Technology Conference: 
VTC2019-Fall
(http://www.ieeevtc.org/vtc2019fall/)

22–25 September 2019, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA

******************************************************************

SCOPE

The Internet of Things (IoT) has gained great attention from both 
academia and industry. Connecting billions of devices for communication 
and service provisioning shapes the main target of the IoT. Among the 
key enablers of IoT, smart vehicles have been promising solutions for 
providing on-road communication and ubiquitous information services. 
Equipped with high sensing, computing, and storage capabilities, along 
with diversified communication modules, smart vehicles have been enabled 
to become mobile resource providers. The real value of vehicular 
resources is much realized when translated into information services 
that put these resources into action. Expanding the smart vehicle-based 
services/applications beyond the intelligent transportation services 
requires research and development efforts to explore new service scopes, 
create innovative system architectures, and design enabling 
technologies.

The VISIT workshop is intended to create a platform for researchers, 
developers, and practitioners from academia and industry in the areas of 
IoT and vehicular technologies, service provisioning, and ubiquitous 
computing to share and discuss their ideas, experiences, challenges, and 
practical implementations. We encourage high quality submissions 
addressing current challenges and proposing novel research directions. 
We invite technical research papers, industrial papers, position papers, 
and tool demonstration papers.

Specific topics include, but are not limited to:
                • Emerging vehicular applications and services
                • Intelligent transportation systems
                • Pervasive sensing and computing in vehicular 
environments
                • Vehicular platform, prototype, and middleware design 
and evaluation
                • Context management in ubiquitous scenarios and mobile 
services
                • Vehicular cloud applications and architectures
                • Data aggregation, storage, and management architectures
                • Sensor fusion in vehicle and IoT levels
                • Service and resource discovery
                • Participant selection and recruitment
                • Data delivery and routing
                • Inter and intra-vehicle communication
                • Incentive and pricing models
                • Mobility prediction and management
                • Machine learning for vehicular services
                • IoT heterogeneity/interoperability issues
                • Vehicular information-centric networks
                • Vehicular localization mechanisms and algorithms
                • Privacy and security mechanisms
                • Quality of information and reputation assessment
                • Software architecture and design for vehicle-enabled 
IoT
                • Reliability, availability, and scalability in 
ubiquitous vehicular services


IMPORTANT DATES

Paper submission deadline: June 17, 2019
Notification of acceptance: July 5, 2019
Camera-­ready submission due: July 22, 2019


INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSION

Authors are required to submit fully formatted, original papers (PDF), 
with graphs, images, and other special areas arranged as intended for 
the final publication. Papers should be written in English conforming to 
the IEEE two-column standard conference format. All final submissions 
should be with a maximum paper length of 5 pages without incurring 
additional page charges (Up to 2 additional pages are allowed with the 
purchase of additional page charges in the amount of $100 USD per 
additional page at the time of registration and final paper submission).

Workshop content will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore as 
well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases. Each accepted 
paper must be presented at the workshop by one of the co-authors or a 
third party, otherwise it will not be indexed nor archived through IEEE 
Xplore.

Only timely submissions through TrackChair at 
(https://vtc2019f-rr-wks.trackchair.com/track/1799) will be considered.
