Call For Papers
The Internet of Things (IoT) has recently gained great attention from both academia and industry. Connecting billions of devices for communication and service provisioning shapes the main target of the IoT. Among the key enablers of IoT, smart vehicles have been promising solutions for providing on-road communication and ubiquitous information services. Equipped with high sensing, computing, and storage capabilities, along with diversified communication modules, smart vehicles have been enabled to become mobile resource providers. The real value of vehicular resources is much realized when translated into information services that put these resources into action. Expanding the smart vehicle-based services/applications beyond the intelligent transportation services requires research and development efforts to explore new service scopes, create innovative system architectures, and design enabling technologies.
The VISIT workshop is intended to create a platform for researchers, developers, and practitioners from academia and industry in the areas of IoT and vehicular technologies, service provisioning, and ubiquitous computing to share and discuss their ideas, experiences, challenges, and practical implementations. We encourage high quality submissions addressing current challenges and proposing novel research directions. We invite technical research papers, industrial papers, position papers, and tool demonstration papers.
