- Industry and workshop track
- Doctoral symposium
- Demo/Poster

Internet of Vehicles (IOV) as an important part of the wisdom city is a complex integrated network system, which connects different people within automotives, different automotives and different environment entries in cities. IOV is different from Telematics, Vehicle Ad hoc Networks, and Intelligent Transportation, in which vehicles like phones can run within the whole network, and obtain various services by swarm intelligent computing with people, vehicles, and environments.

IOV 2015 is to establish an international forum for engineers and scientists to present their excellent ideas, latest innovations and experiences on Internet of Vehicles. We welcomes paper submissions on innovative work from researchers in academia, industry and government describing original research work, sharing the experience and insights, forecast the trends and opportunities, and discuss the policy, economics and social implications.

IOV 2015 will be held on Dec. 19th-21st, 2015 in Chengdu, Sichuan, China. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

● Vehicle Behavior Model and Environment Awareness
● Cooperative Driving, Intelligent and Autonomous Vehicles
● Telematics, Wireless Communication Networks for IOV
● Services and applications of IOV
● Complex systems and systems-of-systems for IOV
● Theory, technology, methodology, tools and applications for IOV
● Wireless Communications and Vehicular Networking
● Mobile Internet, Mobility Internet and Internet of Things
● Transportation and Connected Vehicles
● Geographic, Spatial and Social Information Systems
● Practices, Recommendations and Standards in Connected Vehicles
● Policy, Economics and Social Implications
● Cooperative Driving, Intelligent and Autonomous Vehicles
● Automotive Electronics and Automatic Control
● Computational modeling and methodology for Intelligent Mobility Cases/Studies
● Network Architecture for IOV
● Automotive Electronics and Automatic Control for IOV
● Swarm Intelligent Computing in IOV.
● Network and Information Services in IOV.
● Social Economics for Vehicle Platforms.
● IOV for Intelligent Transportation and Wisdom City
● Social Network for IOV
● Modeling and Simulation for IOV
● Cloud computing for IOV
● Big Data for IOV
● Applications and Standards of IOV

Research Paper:
Full research manuscripts should explore a specific technology problem and propose a complete solution to it, with extensive experimental results, practical experience reports are expected to provide an in-depth exposition of practitioner experiences and empirical studies.

WIP Paper:
Wild and Works-in-Progess (WIP) Papers are expected to present either work currently in progress or less developed but highly innovative ideas related to areas relevant to IOV, aiming at inspiring discussion among conference attendees and getting people thinking about open research challenges.
Please send your submission as an email attachment in PDF to iov2015@hotmail.com with the subject: “IOV WIP Paper Submission.”

Industry presentation:
The objective of the Industry Track is to establish an efficient dialogue between practitioners and researchers concerning the challenges, findings (both positive and negative), encountered obstacles, and lessons learned on IOV. The Industry Track papers and presentations will address the application of IOV practices (which may include work on principles, techniques, tools, methods, processes) to a specific domain or to the development of a substantial IOV system.
Please send your submission as an email attachment in PDF to iov2015@hotmail.com with the subject: “IOV Industry Presentation Submission.”

Doctoral Symposium:
The objective of the Doctoral Symposium is to provide constructive feedback and guidance to doctoral students who are performing their dissertation research in the field of IOV and to help students interact with established researchers and practitioners. A research summary should include Student name, university, research advisor, the problem to be addressed by your thesis, Your research hypothesis, The expected contributions of your dissertation research, Your proposed research approach, Summary of results to date, How you plan to evaluate your results and a dissemination plan.
Please send your submission as an email attachment in PDF to iov2015@hotmail.com with the subject: “IOV Doctoral Symposium Submission.”

Demo/Poster:
Submissions must describe working systems and be related to IOV. These systems may be innovative prototype implementations or mature systems that use related technology. The demo paper should provide adequate information on the system's architecture, individual components, the way the system is operated, and the way the system will be demonstrated during the conference.

Please send your submission as an email attachment in PDF to iov2015@hotmail.com with the subject: “IOV Demo/Poster Submission.”
