The VN4RRSR workshop aims to gather researchers and experts working in the field of vehicular networking, resilience and recovery of critical infrastructures, hazard detection and mitigation, safety-critical application and risk reduction.

Vehicular communications are steering the ICT domain, with new technologies, new algorithms and new challenges to face as well. The importance behind the data that can be collected and managed by connecting vehicles to the infrastructure is crucial for many domains. Solutions for dealing with connected vehicles must take into account a vast range of aspects, resulting in an innovative and challenging topic, like latency, bandwidth, security, safety, deterministic constraints and so on.

The technologies proposed in recent years have moved from unlicensed spectra, such as IEEE 802.11p, ad-hoc networking, Bluetooth, etc., to licensed spectra, such as LTE, 5G, and beyond. These two groups are facing spectrum coexistence as well as several tradeoffs involving coverage, channel access techniques, infrastructure/infrastructure-less communications, and standardization steps.

The workshop's very large area of interest includes, but is not limited to, V2X/V2V/V2I systems, geo-networking, wireless technologies and standards for vehicular communications, network architectures, spectrum management and coexistence between different standards at 5.9GHz, fast deployable systems, interoperability, hazard risk reduction and safety-related applications, secure communications, cooperative and GPS-based algorithms.

Results from research activities, demonstrations, test-bed and prototype testing are encouraged by universities, research institutes, industries and companies.

Joint papers from different institutions are welcome. Extended and revised versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in special issues of the journals listed here.

The EDAS submission site is now open, please click here to start your submission.

AUTHOR GUIDELINES:

High-quality full papers which at the time of submission, are not under review and have not already been published or accepted for publication elsewhere are solicited. The first page should include the paper's title, the abstract, a list of keywords indicating the paper's topic area(s), the authors' full names, affiliations, and e-mail addresses.

All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, and will be submitted for inclusion in IEEE Digital Xplore. Authors are required to submit fully formatted papers (PDF), with graphs, images, and other special areas arranged as intended for the final publication. Papers should be written in English conforming to the IEEE standard conference format (8.5" x 11" - US letter or A4, Two-Column). The final manuscript for publication will be limited to six (6) pages (maximum of two (2) additional pages can be purchased, each paper cannot exceed eight (8) pages). You can find a copy of the IEEE standard conference template for Microsoft Word or LaTeX formats here. Your paper must be printable in order to be accepted.

At least one of the authors of each accepted paper has to register at the regular rate (non-student). Each registration will cover one accepted paper. WiMob Executive Committee reserves the right not to include in IEEE Explore the papers that are not presented at the conference.

WiMob 2024 is using the EDAS Conference Management System to manage the paper submission process.

IEEE PDF eXpress

Only for final manuscript (after acceptance). Initial Submission doesn’t require IEEE PDF eXpress!

WiMob 2024 has registered to use the the IEEE tool: IEEE PDF eXpress.

According to the new IEEE Xplore Requirements for PDF, all conference articles submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore must adhere to the IEEE Xplore PDF specification for compatibility.

IEEE PDF eXpress is a free service to IEEE conferences, allowing their authors to make IEEE Xplore-compatible PDFs (Conversion function) or to check PDFs that authors have made themselves for IEEE Xplore compatibility (PDF Check function).

It is important to note that submitting a file to IEEE PDF eXpress is only for creation of a compliant PDF file, you must still submit your final paper through the EDAS online submission system.

The instructions and the Conference ID required are listed in the WiMob 2024 author guide.

Papers cannot be included in the conference proceedings without a completed IEEE Copyright Form. After finalizing your final manuscript via IEEE PDF eXpress, you will proceed with the copyright process (via the IEEE system) and fill the copyright form. Then, you will receive an "IEEE Electronic Publication Agreement Receipt". This should be uploaded into EDAS, usually by going to the My Papers tab and clicking the 'c' icon in the Copyright column of your paper.

If necessary, contact Abderrahim Benslimane at benslimane@ieee.org for any information.
