Co-located with IEEE GLOBECOM 2009
Honolulu, Hawaii, USA

Call for Paper: PDF

Car-to-car (C2C) communication networks have now gain popularity and importance. New technical challenges have evolved that demand research and investigations. Globally, automobiles are indispensable for connecting people, delivering goods and services and commuting from one place to another. Car industries are of great importance in Asia, Europe, USA and the rest of the world. Car markers will be key players in car telematics. Much research remain to be done to bring alive the vision of future intelligent inter-vehicular applications, which will be supported by C2C.

This workshop is intended to serve as a forum and bring together the researchers and engineers in both academia and industry to exchange ideas, share experiences, and report original works about all aspects of service discovery and composition in ubiquitous and pervasive environments. The main purpose is to promote discussions of research and relevant activities in the design of architectures, algorithms, and applications for inter-vehicular communication environments. This workshop will also address some leading standardization efforts (802.11p, p1609, TIA TR48, etc.).
Technical research papers are solicited in the following areas:

• ITS car-2-car networks
• ITS car-2-roadside communications
• MAC, routing, QoS, addressing, multicast, TCP protocols
• Congestion Control and Cooperative VANETs
• New application scenarios of ITS vehicular networks
• Mobility and handoff issues
• Sensors & Data Collection
• Content Distribution
• C2C communications
• Intra-car communications
• Traffic and flow control issues
• Info Dissemination; Data organization
• Security issues, architectures and solutions
• Privacy issues and solutions
• Data replication protocols in network partitions
• Different technologies (DSRC, WiMAX, WiFi, 3G/4G, cell phone)
• Application innovation
• 802.11p WAVE ; 802.11s MESH; DSRC
• Implementation/deployment status
• Standardization issues for C2C
