                    IEEE VNC 2024 - Call for Papers



            15th IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC)



29-31, May, 2024
                            Kobe, Japan



                       https://ieee-vnc.org/2024/



The 2024 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC) seeks to bring

together researchers, professionals, and practitioners to present and

discuss recent developments and challenges in vehicular networking,

connected & automated driving, and other applications. Topics of

interest include, but are not limited to:



Connectivity



- Radio technologies for vehicular networks (e.g., channel

   measurements, propagation models, antenna design)

- V2X communication technologies, including DSRC, C-V2X, 5G/6G, and

   emerging technologies like VLC, mmWave, THz, or massive MIMO,

   beamforming, Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC)/

   Joint Communication and Sensing (JCAS)

- Networking, transport and QoS management for vehicular networks

- In-vehicle communication and networking systems



Architecture and System Design



- Heterogeneous vehicular networking (e.g., multi-radio, multi-channel,

   multi-application, multi-technology, multi-operator) and coexistence

   of access technologies

- Architectures and system designs for connected automated driving

   incl. cloud and edge computing and IoT integration

- Security, privacy, liability, and dependability of vehicular networks

- Integration of V2C communications with on-board systems and networks



Tools & Methods



- Platforms for simulation, emulation, prototyping, measurement,

   field-trials, and real-world deployment of vehicular networks

- Optimization techniques (e.g., linear programming, machine learning)

   with unique benefits for vehicular applications

- Modeling, design, and analysis of vehicular networks and applications



Applications



- Cooperative perception and cooperative driving

- Innovative vehicular network applications and their communication

   requirements

- Vulnerable road user protection

- Impact assessments of vehicular networks on transportation (e.g.,

   safety, efficiency, comfort, privacy, and environmental

   sustainability)



All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. The Best Paper Award will be

selected and handed out by our Best Paper committee. Conference content

will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore as well as other

Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases.



========================================================================

Deadlines

========================================================================



March 1, 2024 March 15, 2024 (extended & final): Paper submissions due
April 1, 2024: Poster and Demo submissions due
April 15, 2024: Acceptance notifications
May 1, 2024: Camera-ready versions due
End of May, 2024: Conference starts


========================================================================

Manuscript submissions

========================================================================



The submitted papers must be written in English and be formatted in the

standard IEEE two-column format and with a font size no less than

10-point. The mandatory IEEE template in Microsoft Word and LaTeX format

can be found at the IEEE templates page. The submission process is not

double-blind and authors may include their names, affiliations, and

other identifying information in the submitted manuscripts. Only Adobe

PDF files will be accepted for the review process. All submissions must

be made electronically through EDAS.

========================================================================

Submission Types

========================================================================



The conference will consider four categories of submissions:



- Full papers should describe novel research contributions and are

   limited in length to eight (8) printed pages including figures,

   tables, and references. Papers exceeding 8 pages will be declined

   automatically and will not be reviewed.



- Short papers should be more visionary in nature and may report on

   work-in-progress without fully finished results. They are meant to

   present novel perspectives, so as to foster discussions about

   innovative directions and new points of view. They are limited to at

   most four (4) pages including figures, tables, and references, but

   might in many cases be even shorter. Accepted short papers will be

   included in the proceedings and will be given (a shorter) time for

   oral presentation at the conference.



- Posters are especially suited for presenting controversial research

   directions that may generate discussion, or promising ideas not yet

   fully validated through complete extensive evaluation. They are

   limited to at most two (2) pages and their title must begin with

   "Poster:".



- Demonstration (demo) papers are suited for researchers to showcase

   their latest prototypes with media, models, or live demonstrations.

   They are limited to at most two (2) pages and their title must begin

   with "Demo:".



Please note that these categories (in particular: full paper and short

paper) target different kinds of contributions. Papers submitted to one

category will NOT be moved to a different category: a paper will either

be accepted in the category where it has been submitted, or it will be

rejected (in particular: full papers will not be "downgraded" to short

papers). Therefore, please be sure to carefully assess for yourself

prior to submission which is the most suitable submission category for

your paper, and to make sure that the presentation in the manuscript is

well suited to the aims of this category.



========================================================================

Submission Process

========================================================================



Submitted papers must be IEEE compliant Adobe PDF files written in

English, formatted in standard IEEE two-column format with a font size

no less than 10-point. Reviewing is not double-blind, so authors may

include their names, affiliations, and other identifying information in

submitted manuscripts. Only compliant files will be accepted for review.

All submissions must be made electronically through EDAS.
