IJACSA SPECIAL ISSUE ON ADVANCES IN VEHICULAR AD HOC NETWORKING AND APPLICATIONS

BACKGROUND

Vehicular networks play a key role to develop Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) aiming to achieve road safety and to guaranty needs of drivers and passengers, in addition to improve the transportation productivity. Vehicular networks cover Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Roadside (V2R) communications.

SCOPE OF THIS SPECIAL ISSUE

This Special Issue proposes the study of the various vehicular transmission challenges such as the physical layer problems like the development of radio waves technologies, new transmission technologies and embedded systems. Moreover, logical link and medium access controls for vehicular networks will be explored. Also, vehicular networks Special Issue encourages original works concerning topological or geographical based routing, maintaining routes, security policies, modeling and provisioning realistic mobility models etc.

This Special Issue is an opportunity for researchers, academics and industries to share their insight and knowledge in all areas related to vehicular networks. Potential topics include, but are not limited to :

Wireless access technology for vehicular networks
Routing for vehicular networks
QoS for vehicular networks and performance evaluations
Modeling of realistic mobility models for vehicular network studies
Services, resource management and mobility in vehicular networks
Self-organizing for vehicular networks
Security during the data dissemination
Load balancing in VANET/Sensor networks
Web Based systems
Mobile, Ubiquitous and Pervasive Computing and communications
