A new workshop bringing together the fields of Internet of Things and Automotive Applications is being organized by the IEEE IoT Initiative and the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society. It is being co-located with the 2015 IEEE World Forum on Internet-of-things (WF-IoT), 14 - 16 December 2015, Milan, Italy.
The future network infrastructure for vehicular environments will increase the pervasiveness of the Internet and the overall connectivity by integrating every “object” (e.g., passengers’ smart phones, vehicles’ sensors, infrastructures and external management platform) forming an intelligent vehicular transportation system. IoT supported by vehicular networks will be a key enabler for new geo-spatial information mapping communities. Using the advanced communication and sensor capabilities hosted by vehicles, these IoT communities have the potential to reach a wide range of objectives at more cost effective ways. Applications for such a promising combination of information production range from providing road safety and driver assistance, to mapping road status (e.g., road congestion status, road conditions and maintenance status), to estimating the 'greenens’ of various road segments. Prof. Mario Gerla from UCLA will be a keynote speaker.
The workshop seeks invites papers on automotive IoT, integrations of vehicular sensor networks with IoT and advanced communication and networking technologies applied in vehicular systems by 18 September 2015. The areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Connected vehicles, communications, networking and applications in IoT
- IoT for autonomous cars and driving systems
- IoT cloud computing and management platform for connected vehicles
- In-car electronics, embedded integration of wireless vehicular communications with IoT
- Mobile vehicular sensor networks
- Interworking with sensor network technologies
- Transportation cyber-physical networks
- Mobility for IoT
- RF technologies, antenna design, physical layer and propagation models
- Spectrum, radio resource and interference management
