With the advances in computing and communication technologies, vehicle technology has entered a new era of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs). While the host of technologies that are required to enable CAVs are many, they all share the same application area and include specific advancements that are more directly related to CAVs than to other cyber-physical systems. This symposium aims to bring together researchers who are working on different aspects of CAVs. IEEE CAVS is a symposium for reporting advances in all aspects of CAVs, including theory, tools, protocols, networks, applications, systems, test-beds and field deployments. IEEE CAVS 2018 will be held on August 27 2018 in Chicago, co-located with IEEE VTC 2018 Fall (August 27-30, 2018). Areas of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:

- Autonomous driving
- Sensing, detection, and actuation
- Multi-sensor fusion
- Mapping and localization
- Vision and environment perception
- Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for CAVs
- ADAS technologies, systems and applications
- In-car electronics and embedded software, OS and systems
- Networked automotive cyber-physical systems
- Cooperative driving and cooperative perception/sensing
- Vehicular networks and V2X communications
- Automotive IoT
- Vehicular and transportation data analytics
- Automotive cybersecurity, liability and privacy
- Smart and shared mobility systems and applications
- Coexistence of CAVs, automated, connected and conventional/legacy vehicles
- Connected and automated vehicle safety applications
- Impact of CAVs on transport safety, traffic management, characterization and prediction
- Computer aided modeling, simulation, verification
- Field trials
- Standards development, business models, policies
- Human factors and human machine interfaces
- CAVs and vulnerable road users

Prospective authors are invited to submit 5-page, original, and unpublished full papers. Manuscripts should be formatted according to IEEE two-column conference style, including figures and references. Manuscripts should be submitted through trackchair: https://vtc2018f-rr-wks.trackchair.com/track/1689

All submissions will undergo peer-review by subject matter experts, and the full paper version of accepted submissions will be published in the conference proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore (conditional on in-person presentation at the conference).

Standalone and combined registrations packages will be offered for IEEE CAVS and IEEE VTC2018-Fall events.
