It is important to not include author(s) name(s) and/or affiliation(s) in the files of the submitted papers (They should only be included in the final camera-ready version after paper acceptance).

English is the only language allowed for papers in UHDComp’15. Papers submitted to the conference will undergo a rigorous peer-review process. Accepted papers will be published in a special issue of University of Human Development Journal (A refereed academic journal). UHDComp’15 registration is for free. Further details can be found at http://comp15.uhd.edu.iq/.

For new papers submission; it is important to note that since UHDComp’15 follows a two-level review process, authors should register their papers on EDAS and wait for our “Abstract Confirmation” before they can upload their full-length papers. This can take one to two days on average. Thus, we recommend authors to register their new papers on EDAS (including filling the “Abstract” box) at least two days before the deadline.

CALL FOR PAPERS

About the Conference

Future mobile networks will evolve out of existing wired and wireless networks of different nature by means of convergence, fusion and mutual penetration; next-generation multimedia services in turn pose new requirements and challenges on treatment of traffic within communication systems - a certain degree of multilayer co-operation has to be achieved. This forms a framework on harmonization of results obtained separately in different areas of network research like network performance evaluation, architecture and protocol design, and low layer network design. The conference goal is in the identification, investigation and integration of new algorithms, approaches, architectures, methods and mechanisms to enable proper and efficient operation of a next-generation IP-based wireless network. Therefore, wireless networks and systems and their interaction with wired networks and systems shall be widely examined and addressed throughout the conference.

The history of NEW2AN dates back to 1993, today it is an established conference featured by proceedings published by Springer LNCS (confirmed) and distinguished keynote speakers.

The NEW2AN 2015 will be held in St. Petersburg, Russia - the meeting point of East and West. Through its stunning architecture and wonderful art galleries and museums, among a number of other attractions, the wealth of history of East and West can be seen and felt in this beautiful city.

The development of smart vehicles and more sustainable transportation systems has emerged as one of the most fundamental societal challenges of the next decade. At the same time, automotive manufacturers are striving to make vehicles safer and more environmentally friendly to fulfil consumers' expectations and new regulations. To revolutionise our mobile lifestyle towards a more sustainable and connected future it is of paramount importance to develop innovative cooperative systems enabling road users and other actors to exchange information in real time and in an autonomous manner, pervasive sensing to monitor the status of vehicles and the surroundings, big data analytics for the processing of sheer amount of data coming from the transportation infrastructure, middleware platforms for information management and sharing, and appropriate interaction interfaces between drivers and vehicles. Clearly, the seamless integration between mobile devices, vehicular communication networks, and information and transportation systems will face a number of technical, economical and regulatory challenges.

Authors are encouraged to submit full papers presenting recent developments, current research challenges and future directions in the use of networking, communications, data management, and applications to realise vehicular mobility systems that are more connected, sustainable and safe.

Topics of interest for SmartVehicles 2015 include, but are not limited to:

+ Vehicular Network as a Sensor Network;
+ V2V, V2I and V2X communications
+ Vehicular mobility support in next-generation wireless technologies
+ Communications protocol design (MAC, routing, data dissemination)
+ Data storage, management, and retrieval in vehicular networks
+ Solutions to connect vehicles with the Internet
+ Big data analytics for ITS applications
+ Security and privacy in ITS applications
+ Multimedia applications, infotainment
+ Cooperative driving, autonomous and smart vehicles
+ Traffic management and efficiency applications
+ Electrification of transportation systems

* Protocols for vehicular networks (MAC/link layer, routing, IP mobility, dissemination, transport, applications, etc.) and performance enhancements
* New trends in VANETS, e.g. integration of electric vehicles in smart grid communications
* Data dissemination, processing, and aggregation in vehicular networks
* Safety, reliability, and dependability in vehicular networks
* Mobility management, Network management, traffic modeling and optimization
* Trajectory optimization and trajectory and separation management
* Information management, enhanced communication, surveillance and navigation
