SCOPE/CALL FOR PAPERS

The Second IEEE International Workshop on The last few years have witnessed an u
nmistable converge of intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and Vehicular Ad
hoc Networks (VANET) leading to the emergence of Intelligent Vehicular Networks
(InVeNET) that promise to revolutionize the way we drive by creating a ubiquitou
s safe and secure environment that will eventually pervade our highways and city
streets.

InVeNET 2010 continues the tradition established by InVeNET 2009 and has for sta
ted goal to be a high-profile workshop that brings together state-of-the-art con
tributions on the design, specification, and implementation of architectures and
protocols for current and future applications of VANET. We aim to provide an en
vironment conducive of cross-fertilization between researchers from many areas,
all relevant, in one way or another to the confluence of Intelligent Transportat
ion Systems and VANET. By creative a relaxed, collegial atmosphere, the will fos
ter a dialogue between researchers from industry and academia on the state of th
e art in both ITS and VANET.

We anticipate the publication of a special issue of a high-quality archival jour
nal (IEEE Transactions of Parallel and Distributed Systems, or IEEE Transactions
on Vehicular Technology being likely candidates) dedicated to selected papers f
rom the workshop.

Topic of Interest
-----------------
Prospective authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts relat
ed to the theory or practice of Intelligent Vehicular Networks. Of particular in
terest are ITS applications that rely directly or indirectly on contributions fr
om VANET. Submissions are being accepted with the understanding that they descri
be original research, neither published nor currently under review elsewhere. To
pics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Vehicular network architectures and protocols
* Mobility management and topology control
* Vehicular network performance modeling and analysis
* Vehicular network medium access control and routing protocols
* Intelligent Transportation Systems and Applications
* Modeling and simulation of Intelligent Vehicular Systems
* Theoretical aspects: performance modeling and analysis
* Organizing coordination and communication
* Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning in Intelligent Vehicular Networks
* Human factors in Intelligent Vehicular Systems
* Information aggregation and dissemination in Intelligent vehicular Networks
* Localization in Intelligent Vehicular Systems
* Bayesian decision systems
* Challenges of V2V and V2I wireless communication
* Security and privacy issues in Intelligent Vehicular Systems
* Applications and case studies
* Real-word test beds

Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE MASS proceedings and appear in the
IEEE Digital Library. At least one author of each accepted paper must register
for the conference at the full conference rate. We anticipate the publication of
a special issue of a high-quality archival journal (IEEE Transactions of Parall
el and Distributed Systems, or IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology being l
ikely candidates) dedicated to selected papers from the workshop.

Important Dates
---------------
Submission Due: June 15, 2010
Acceptance Notification: August 10, 2010
Final Manuscript due: September 1, 2010
Workshop Date: November 8, 2010

Submission instructions
-----------------------
All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently unde
r review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Submission implies the wi
llingness of at least one author to attend the workshop and present the paper. A
ccepted papers will be included in the main proceedings of IEEE MASS 2010 and pu
blished by IEEE. You can find detailed submission instructions at http://www.sit
