CALL FOR PAPERS 

VANET 2004: First ACM Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks
http://www.path.berkeley.edu/vanet/

in conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2004

October 1, 2004
Loews Philadelphia Hotel, Philadelphia, PA, USA

The goal of this workshop is to explore the development of wireless
vehicular ad hoc networking (VANET) technologies. The vision is safety
and commercial applications enabled by short to medium range
communication systems and/or networks (vehicle-vehicle or
vehicle-roadside).  Such technology should provide priority for
time-critical safety messages and meet the QOS requirements of other
mobile e-commerce or multimedia applications.

Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related
to the theory or practice of VANET. All submissions must describe
original research, not published or currently under review for another
conference or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited
to:
- Safety and commercial applications 
- Protocol design (including low-power, cross-layer, etc.)
- Security and privacy
- Multi-channel organization/operation
- Network management 
- Power control
- Modulation and coding
- Channel modeling

This workshop will consist of presentations of submitted,
peer-reviewed papers as well as invited talks.  One keynote
presentation will be included, as well as one panel of industry and
government leaders.
