CALL FOR PAPERS

Session on VANET Modeling, Optimization, Simulation and Testbed
in DIVANet 2012
Second ACM International Symposium on Design and Analysis of Intelligent Vehicular Networks and Applications
as a part of
MSWIM 2012
15th ACM International Conference on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems
October 21-25 2012 - Paphos, Cyprus Island
http://mswimconf.com/2012/

*** Submission deadline extended: July 15, 2012***
===========================================================================================

SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES

Vehicular Ad hoc NETworks (VANETs) consider vehicle-to-vehicle as well as vehicle-to-infrastructure communications, in order
to provide the drivers with novel services, such as collision avoidance and safety warnings, real-time traffic information or even
high-speed toll collection and mobile infotainment. VANETs have rapidly emerged and raised novel research challenges such
as designing networking protocols adapted to high speed environments or realistic simulation environments.

This DIVANet'2012 session aims to provide researchers and practitioners with a venue to disseminate and share state-of-the-art
research on vehicular networks modeling, optimization, simulation, prototyping and testbeds.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Simulation frameworks
Performance analysis and evaluation of VANETs services
Network management
Mobility modeling, management and optimization
Mobility prediction and control
Traffic modeling, management and optimization
Power control and scalability issues
Multi-channel organization and operation
Channel modeling
Modulation and coding
Communication protocol design and optimization
Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/back-office communication
Cross-layer design
Validation through measurement and prototyping
Innovative measurement methodologies and tools
Experiences/lessons from recent testbed deployments and measurements
Field operational testing
Prototype implementation of vehicular ad hoc networks and systems;

PAPER SUBMISSIONS

Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above and other topics related to VANET modeling, optimization,
simulation and testbed by July 15, 2012.

Submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript via email to the session organizers at pascal.bouvry@uni.lu, gregoire.danoy@uni.lu and julien.schleich@uni.lu

All submissions should be written in English with a maximum paper length of eight printed pages including figures, without incurring additional
page charges (maximum 2 additional pages, with overlength page fee). Templates for ACM SIG Proceedings style (LaTeX2e and MS Word) can be
found at http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html.

Papers will be selected based on their originality, relevance, technical clarity and presentation. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their
papers will be registered and presented at the symposium.

Accepted papers will appear in the ACM symposium proceedings.
