Second International Workshop on Vehicular Adhoc Networks for Smart Cities

Scope of the workshop

After the first successful edition of the IWVSC'2014, the second edition will be held again in Kuala Lumpur. Vehicular communication is a key technology in intelligent transportation systems. For many years now, the academic and industrial research communities have been investigating these communications in order to improve efficiency and safety of future transportation. Vehicular networking will offer a wide variety of applications, including safety applications as well as infotainment applications. More generally, future communicating cars will evolve in a more intelligent environment also called smart cities. In this context, the interaction between intelligent vehicles and intelligent infrastructures will influence each other, to achieve each other targets. In one hand, the car drivers (or automated cars) want to travel in an efficient and safe manner and in the other hand smart cities would try to offer the best life conditions for citizens by reducing air pollution and noise for the inhabitants, and reducing traffic congestion with a better traffic information system for car drivers. Efficient interaction between vehicles and smart cities infrastructures is naturally needed to reach these goals.

At the same time the set of the communicating vehicles is seen as an Internet of Vehicles (IoV) platform providing several interesting capacities. First with the increasing number of sensors embedded on vehicles, a large variety of information can be collected and exploited not only by vehicles but also by other stakeholders (car markers, insurance companies, cities authorities, …). Second, the computing and storage capacities available on vehicles can form a vehicular cloud that can be exploited by third parties. Future smart cities are well placed and a natural candidate to take profit from these extraordinary mobile infrastructures.

IWVSC'2016 aims at providing a forum and to bring together people from both academia and industry, to discuss recent developments in vehicular networking technologies and their interaction with future smart cities in order to promote further research activities and challenges. 

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

•       Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications

•       Vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications for smart cities

•       Medium access control protocols for VANETs

•       Routing protocols for active safety in VANETs

•       Geographical routing protocols for VANETs

•       Architectures, algorithms and protocols design for data dissemination, processing, and aggregation in vehicular networks

•       Security, privacy in vehicular networks

•       QoS provisioning for vehicular networks

•       Vehicular clouds: architecture design, algorithms and protocols for smart cities

•       Software defined networking and virtualization for vehicles

•       Vehicular social networks

•       Group mobility/Platooning/Autonomous driving in smart cities

•       5G technologies for vehicular communications

•       Simulation and performance evaluation techniques for vehicular networks

•       Results from experimental systems and  testbeds for VANET
