Scope:
======
With the increasing number of vehicles and rapid development of wireless
technologies, vehicular communications, networks and systems are becoming more
and more popular. This area of research is in its early stages and there is
still much to be done in order to realize the vision of Intelligent
Transportation Systems (ITS). The aim of vehicular communication systems, and
thus ITS, is to improve traffic safety, protect environment by reducing traffic
congestion and fuel consumption, and enable a plethora of new applications such
as mobile infotainment and location-based services for mobile users. To
facilitate both safety and non-safety applications, the integration of
communications and computing technologies into vehicular and transportation
systems becomes a must. These result in various types of cooperative vehicular
communications and networks: intra-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I),
vehicle-to-roadside (V2R), and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications.
While many conferences and workshops provide a venue to present and discuss
vehicular communication, network protocols and solutions, only few research
works addressed issues related to measurements, modeling and experimentations
in such systems. So, the primary objective of the WVCN workshop will be to
discuss the issues related to these themes.
The focus of this workshop is to serve as a forum to share new
ideas/experiences in all experimental, measurement and modeling aspects of
vehicular communications and networks, and facilitate discussions of key
unresolved challenges in this area.
Submitted papers should be original and previously unpublished.
Topics of interest:
==============
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Channel and radio propagation measurement, Modeling, and simulation •
Mobility and vehicular traffic measurement, Modeling, and simulation • Data
traffic measurement, Modeling, and simulation • Capacity analysis and Modeling
• Modeling MAC, network and transport layer protocols for vehicular networks •
Modeling user demand and telematics services characterization • New measurement
methodologies and infrastructures • Innovative measurement methodologies and
tools • Simulation and experimentation of Vehicular Communication Systems
(VANET, Vehicular Mesh Networks, Cellular-based Vehicular Networks,...) •
Validation of existing simulation models, and results across different
testbeds/evaluation methodologies • Experimental evaluation of telematic
applications and services • Design & evaluation of vehicular testbeds,
prototypes and platforms • Experiences/lessons from recent testbed deployments
and measurement campaigns • Field Operational Testing (FOT) results • Security
and QoS issues in Vehicular Communication Systems
