[ Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ] =========================================================================== 1st IEEE International Symposium on Communications Software for Intelligent Transport Systems CSITS 2012 http://csits.it.ubi.pt/ Symposium held in conjunction with IEEE ITST 2012 November 5-8, 2012 Taipei, Taiwan *** Submission deadline: July 15, 2012 *** =========================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS Communications software plays an important role on current computer network, such as vehicular communications and intelligent transport systems. The objective of this Symposium is to provide a single forum for researchers and technologists to discuss the state-of-the-art, present their contributions, and set future directions in communications software for ITS. We welcome technical papers presenting analytical research, simulations, practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, and papers addressing the key problems and solutions. The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, standards, deployments, implementations, running experiments and applications. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal, including, but are not limited to, the following: - New communication software paradigms for ITS - Performance and robustness - Utilization of multiple access networks - Distributed/ubiquitous computing with ITS - Algorithms and protocols for ITS - Optimization for ITS - Device monitoring and management - Safety approaches for ITS - Social and life enhancement - Mobile services and applications - Security aspects for ITS - Economic aspects - Smart vehicles communications IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission: July 15, 2012 Final Acceptance Notification: August 15, 2012 Final Manuscript Due: September 15, 2012 Early-Bird Registration: September 30, 2012 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES - All submissions must be full papers in PDF format and uploaded on EDAS http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=11573&track=22841 - They must not exceed 6 single-spaced, double-column pages using 10 pt size fonts on 8.5 x 11 inch pages in IEEE style format For further and up-to-date information please visit the official web page of the Symposium http://csits.it.ubi.pt/
