The IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference 2011 (IEEE VNC 2011) seeks to
bring together researchers, professionals, and practitioners to present
and discuss recent developments and challenges in vehicular networking
technologies, and their applications. Topics of interest include (but
are not limited to):

- Vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications
- Vehicle-to-X communications
- Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET)
- In-vehicle communications
- Applications of vehicular networks including ITS
- Security and privacy in vehicular networks
- Protocols for vehicular networks
(MAC, routing, mobility management, etc.)
- Architecture, algorithms and protocols for data dissemination in
vehicular networks
- In-network processing and aggregation
- Network and QoS management for vehicular networks
- Physical layer and antenna technologies for vehicular networks
- RF propagation models for vehicular networks
- Radio resource management for vehicular networks
- Simulation and performance evaluation techniques for
vehicular networks
- Experimental systems for vehicular networks
- Field operational tests and testbeds for vehicular networks
- Assessment of impact of vehicular networks on
transportation efficiency and safety
- Emission modelling and environmental impact assessment
- Standardization and economical models for vehicular networks
- Dependability of vehicular networks
- Networking with other road users
- Vehicular network as a sensor network
- Regional requirements and their consequences


All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will appear
in the conference CD proceedings as well as on IEEE Xplore.
