The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in the development of vehicular
inter-networking (VANET) technologies. Apart from new and original technical research results, this
year we welcome papers on organizational and economic models.
Based on short- and medium-range communication as well as on cellular systems, vehicular inter-
networking will enable vehicular safety applications (including collision avoidance and safety warnings),
efficiency applications (e.g.real-time traffic congestion and routing information) and other commercial
or public authority applications (high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others).
The creation of high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, secure, and privacy-preserving VANET
technologies presents an extraordinary challenge for the wireless research community. Clearly, the
specificity of vehicular inter-networking in terms of mobility behavior, applications scenarios, and
application requirements makes VANET research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven
sub-discipline of wireless networking. Furthermore, VANET present a very active field of research,
development, standardization, and field trials. Throughout the world, there are many national and
international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to VANET. These include research
programs like the ones on cooperative systems within the eSafety framework of the European Union, the
Intellidrive initiative in the US, Smartway, DSSS (Driving Safety Support System) and ASV (Advanced Safety
Vehicle) in Japan, simTD in Germany and SCOREF in France. Standardization is well under way with the
activities worldwide in ISO TC204 and IEEE (802.11p and 1609.x), SAE J2735 in the US, ETSI TC ITS and CEN
WG278 in Europe and ARIB T-75 in Japan.
Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of vehicular
inter-networking (VANET). All submissions must describe original research results, not published or
currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Channel modeling
- Modulation and coding
- Power control and scalability issues
- Medium access control protocols
- Multi-channel organization and operation
- Communication protocol design
- Safety, efficiency and commercial applications
- Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication
- Simulation frameworks
- Field operational testing
- Test methodologies
- Impact assessment
- Network management
- Security issues and countermeasures
- Privacy issues
- Organisational and economic models
Submission Instructions
All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages,
use the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) and must
fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. Submitted papers will be
judged based on their quality through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are
withheld from the reviewers. We also encourage the submission of position papers with a maximum length of 6
pages (following the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates above). Position papers will generally include preliminary
results and are expected to describe highly original ideas, discuss new directions, or generate insightful
discussion at the workshop. Position papers can be a good way to obtain early feedback before submitting
complete work to highly selective venues such as ACM MobiCom.
Detailed instructions for paper submission will be posted on the VANET 2010 web page at:
