The IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference 2013 (IEEE VNC 2013) seeks to
bring together researchers, professionals, and practitioners to present
and discuss recent developments and challenges in vehicular networking
technologies, and their applications. Topics of interest include (but
are not limited to):

- Applications of vehicular networks including ITS
- Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications
- Vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications
- Vehicle-to-X (V2X) communications (e.g., with bicyclists, pedestrians, etc.)
- In-vehicle communications
- Radio technologies for V2X (radio resource management, propagation models, antennas, etc.)
- Link- and Network-layer protocols for vehicular networks (MAC, routing, mobility management, geo-networking, etc.)
- Architectures, algorithms and protocols for data dissemination, processing, and aggregation in vehicular networks
- Security, privacy, and dependability in vehicular networks
- Network and QoS management for vehicular networks
- Simulation and performance evaluation techniques for vehicular networks
- Results from experimental systems, testbeds, and pilot studies
- Assessment of impact of vehicular networks on safety, transportation efficiency, and the environment
- Communications related to electric vehicles

All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will appear in the conference CD proceedings as well as on IEEE Xplore.


Paper Submission
-------------------------

All paper submissions must be written in English and must be formatted
in standard IEEE 2-column format. All papers are limited in length to
eight (8) printed pages (10-point font) including figures, tables, and
references. Papers exceeding 8 pages will not be accepted at EDAS, nor
reviewed at all. The mandatory IEEE template in Microsoft Word and LaTeX
format can be found at:
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html


Only Adobe PDF files will be accepted for the review process.
All submissions must be made electronically through the EDAS system
at http://edas.info/N15877.
Conference web page and further details will be available shortly.

We will consider two different categories of papers:

Full papers should describe novel research contributions and are limited in length to eight (8) printed pages (10-point font) including figures, tables, and references. Papers exceeding 8 pages will not be accepted at EDAS, nor reviewed at all.

Short papers can be more visionary in nature, report on work in progress, or describe a narrower research contribution. They are limited to four (4) pages including figures, tables, and references. They are also included in the proceedings, will be given (a shorter) time for oral presentation in front of the complete audience, and will be included in the poster session. Please prefix your title with "Short Paper:" so that reviewers are reminded that this paper should be reviewed as a short paper. Short papers do not require early abstract registration.
