PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS

The 1st IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on
Smart Vehicles: Connectivity Technologies and ITS Applications
(SmartVehicles 2014)
June 16-19, 2019, Sydney, Australia
http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/smartvehicles2014

**** Paper Registration Deadline --- February 1, 2014 ****
**** Paper Submission Deadline --- February 7, 2014 ****

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SCOPE AND OVERVIEW
--------------------------------
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 netw!
orks, 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 2014 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
+ Simulation environments, experimental testbeds, field operational tests
+ Mobile (smart) device integration in vehicles and transport systems
+ Integration of cloud technologies in ITS applications

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
--------------------------------
Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently under review by another conference or journal. Manuscripts are limited to 6 pages, single spacing, double column, and must strictly adhere to the template format.

- Foundations and principles of distributed cloud computing

- Optimization and algorithms

- Architectural models, prototype implementations and applications

- Virtualization technology and enablers (network virtualization,
software-defined networking)

A position for a bright and highly motivated PhD student in the field
of bioinformatics and computational biology is available at the
Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of
Southern Denmark. The position is in the Vandin research group (to be
established in January 2014) and is expected to be filled early spring
2014, but the starting date is negotiable.

For further details see below or please contact Prof. Fabio Vandin
email: vandinfa@imada.sdu.dk
webpage: http://www.cs.brown.edu/~vandinfa/research.html

Please apply online at:

or

The deadline for applications is January 17, 2014.

***********

The motivation for many of current projects in the group derives from
the extraordinary recent advances in sequencing technologies that
allow the measurement of genomic features (DNA sequence, methylation,
etc.) in an unprecedented number of samples. For example, recent
cancer sequencing studies have measured all DNA mutations in thousands
of patients. The analysis of such massive datasets poses a number of
challenges requiring the design of new computational methods and
statistical learning approaches. Such methods need to be efficient,
scalable, and to provide guarantees on the statistical significance of
their output.

The successful applicant will be working in developing efficient
algorithms and mathematical models (based, among others, on
combinatorial optimization and/or machine learning techniques) for
high-throughput sequencing data and other massive molecular datasets.?
Most of the topics recently explored in the group are related to the
analysis of cancer genomes, and include:
* the discovery of cancer-associated subnetworks of large gene/protein
interaction networks by extracting subgraphs mutated in a significant
number of patients;
* the extraction of sets of mutations associated with cancer by
finding combinatorial patterns (e.g., exclusivity) of mutations;
* the accurate identification of significant associations between
cancer survival and genome-wide measurements of genomic features;
* the extraction of significant sequence and structural motifs from
massive datasets.

The successful candidate will have:
* a good master's level degree in computer science,
bioinformatics/computational biology, mathematics, biostatistics,
physics, or a related discipline;
* good programming skills (e.g., Python, Java, C/C++);
* excellent writing skills;
* fluency in English;
* interest in evaluating biological datasets;
* interest in working in an interdisciplinary setting.
?
The successful applicant will have the opportunity to work in an
international, stimulating and interdisciplinary environment, and be
part of the bioinformatics interest community. ?The Department of
Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Southern Denmark
is located in Odense, the third largest city in Denmark, about one
hour from Copenhagen.
