The Second International Workshop on Vehicular Traffic Management for Smart
Cities (VTM 2014) (http://csserver.ucd.ie/~sdjahel/VTM2014/VTM.html)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To be held in conjunction with The 2014 IEEE 79th Vehicular Technology
Conference (VTC2014-Spring), 18-21 May 2014, Seoul, Korea
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------
The rapid growth of the number of cars on the roads has created a
plethora of
challenges for road traffic management authorities such as, traffic
congestion, increasing number of accidents, air pollution, etc. Over the
last
decade, researchers from both industry and academia have focused their
efforts
on exploiting advances in sensing and communication technologies to make
the
existing road Traffic Management Systems (TMSs) more efficient.
Their main goal is to improve the traveler?s safety, shorten the travel
time
and reduce the environmental impact.

Road traffic management for smart cities involves monitoring the actual
traffic situation in real-time (including volumes, speeds, incidents, etc.)
and then controlling or influencing the flow using that information in
order
to reduce traffic congestion, deal efficiently with incidents and provide
accurate and reliable traffic information and prediction to both drivers
and
authorities. Moreover, it is foreseen that future smart cities will provide
faster and secure emergency service delivery by granting proper traffic
privileges to emergency vehicles.

This workshop seeks to bring together researchers, scientists and engineers
from various research communities, as well as practitioners and
administrators
who face the challenges of traffic management in smart cities. They are all
welcome to present and discuss their latest research findings, ideas,
simulation tools and applications at the 2014 VTM workshop.

Topics of Interest
------------------
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
? Vehicular traffic management
? Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) protocols
for smart cities
? Data sensing and gathering techniques in urban environments
? Mobile sensing (privacy, trust management and security issues)
? Data fusion and integration for traffic management systems
(techniques, algorithms, data types, etc.)

? M2M communication for data collection in road environment
? Mobile applications for intelligent traffic management
? Deployment issues for smart infrastructure in urban areas
? Vehicular Sensor Networks (VSNs) applications for road traffic management

The Chair for Information Security and Cryptography at
University of Trier, Germany, offers

a full-time position for a postdoctoral researcher

in a project funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The goal
of the project is to develop methods for the modular analysis of
real-world cryptographic protocols, such as TLS, SSH, WPA2, etc.,
based on the approach of universal composability, and to apply the
developed methods to such protocols.

We offer a creative international environment and the possibility to
participate in internationally leading research.

The position is available immediately, with an internationally
competitive salary. The starting date is negotiable. Contracts can
initially be offered for up to three years, with the perspective of an
extension.

There are no teaching obligations.

The successful candidate must have a Master's degree (or an equivalent
degree) in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related discipline, and
have completed, or be near completion of a PhD degree relevant to the
research area of the project. You should have a proven high level of
analytical capability and mathematical skills. Good English skills
are expected; knowledge of German is not required. Candidates with
severe disabilities will be given priority in case their qualification
level is the same as that of other applicants.

Applications should include:
* CV (including your contact address and work experience)
* Transcripts of all courses and grades for your Bachelor and Master
program

Call for papers
Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs) are the confluence point where the traditional fields of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), robot networks and control theory meet. In WSAN, nodes collaborate to accomplish distributed sensing and actuation tasks. Leveraged by the control and mobility of actors, the networking process and applications embrace a whole new set of possibilities. Actors may deploy, repair and relocate sensors to improve coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure data communication, change network topology to shape routing patterns and balance energy consumption, and respond to reported events in a timely and effective manner. The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an emerging field, WSANs are in need of new networking techniques, by which they can fully exploit their particularities and potentials. WiSARN aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification and implementation of architectures, algori!
thms and protocols for current and future applications of WSAN.
Topic of Interest
Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in ALL aspects of WSAN and traditional wireless sensor networks, robot networks, as well as robotics and automation. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

* Autonomous sensor networks
* Emergent behavior in WSAN
* Modeling and simulation of WSAN
* WSAN architectural and operational models
* Optimal control of networked robots
* Robot advanced motion control by WSAN
* Modeling and control of flying robots
* Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication
* Sensor-robot and robot-robot coordination
* Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols
* Bandwidth-efficient and delay-tolerant communication protocols
* Distributed control and management in WSAN
* Neighborhood discovery and mobility management
* Communication protocols for swarms of mobile robots
* Map exploration and pattern formation of mobile robots
* Robot task assignment
* Biologically inspired communication
