2^nd IEEE Workshop on Automotive Networking and Applications

(AutoNet 2007)

Co-located with IEEE GLOBECOM 2007

November 30, 2007 (Friday) – Washington, DC, USA

Following the success of the 1^st IEEE AutoNet, this one-day workshop seeks to present the latest research results and challenges in vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-with-infrastructure communications technologies, and their applications including improved safety, reduced traffic congestion and pollution, smoother driving experience, among others. Specifically, we solicit original research contributions addressing the following areas:

* Vehicle-with-roadside/infrastructure communications

* Vehicular ad hoc networks
* Potential applications of V2V or V2R communications

* Security and authentication issues in V2V or V2R networks

* V2V or V2R communication protocols (MAC, routing, mobility management, etc.)
* Physical layer and RF level technologies for V2V or V2R communications
* Radio resource management and QoS support for V2V or V2R communications

* Information networking over V2V, V2R and next-generation networks

* Simulation / performance evaluation techniques for V2V or V2R communications

* Experimental systems and testbeds for V2V or V2R communications

* Standardization updates on V2V or V2R communications
