Welcome to WEEDEV 2008
Many people in modern societies spend a lot of time in their cars. Communication possibilities in vehicles have been restricted in the past mainly to cellular communication networks. Enabling broader communication facilities in cars is an important contribution to the global trend towards ubiquitous communications. Cars should provide access to Internet and should be able to communicate among themselves, supporting new services and applications.
The objective of this 1-day workshop is to attract the most recent developments in the area of experimental evaluation and deployment experiences on vehicular networks, and bring together active researchers in an environment that encourages discussion and exchange of ideas.
Specific topics of interest
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- IP Network Mobility (NEMO)
- IP mobility
- Multi-hop (ad-hoc and mesh) routing
- Multi-hop (ad-hoc and mesh) addressing auto-configuration (IP autoconf)
- Multi-hop (ad-hoc and mesh) security
- QoS in multi-hop (ad-hoc and mesh) networks
- Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs)
- Integration of MANET and NEMO technologies (MANEMO)
- Vehicular Wireless networks
Submitted papers should have practical evaluation and/or deployment experiences as their main subject or they should use experiments to validate their modelling/analysis results.
Workshop papers will be included in the TRIDENTCOM 2008 conference proceedings.
Best workshop papers will be selected for journal publication.
Key-note Speech
The European CVIS Project and IPv6 Deployment for ITS
Abstract:
The European ITS project CVIS - Cooperation Vehicle Infrastructure System -
develops a cooperative system platform to support a future world where every
vehicle can communicate directly with the nearby road infrastructure and with
other vehicles in the vicinity using a variety of media and with enhanced
localisation.
The new Internet Protocol v6 provides a unifying communication layer which
will allow ITS software developers and hardware vendors to abstract from the
underlying communication technology used to access the Internet. IPv6 also
integrates new functionalities, such as the ability to maintain the Internet
access over different access technologies during extended periods of time,
the simultaneous use of several Internet access technologies, and plug and play
features to cite only a few of the enhancements. IPv6 will thus ease
development, system complexity, deployment, and push forward innovation in ITS
and create new markets.
