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.)
? Distributed simulations for large scale urban environments
? Route planning protocols and road traffic prediction mechanisms
? Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) and VANETs
applied to traffic management systems in smart cities
? Mobility and vehicular traffic measurement, modeling, and simulation
? Security and QoS issues for ITS applications
? V2X feasibility over LTE networks
? 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
? Decision making tools for road traffic management
? Electric vehicles
All accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the VTM2014
workshop and made available through IEEE Xplore.

A postdoc position in algorithms and complexity is available at the
School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh. The position is funded
by the ERC Consolidator Grant ALUnif (Algorithms and Lower Bounds: A
Unified Approach), held by Rahul Santhanam.
The goal of the project is to use recently discovered connections between
complexity lower bound techniques and algorithmic design and analysis to
design new and improved algorithms for SAT and other NP-complete problems, as
well as to prove new complexity lower bounds.
Candidates should have a strong background in theoretical computer
science, preferably in complexity theory and/or exact algorithms for
NP-hard problems. Candidates should also have a PhD, or be close to
completion of a PhD.
The application deadline is March 12, 2014, and the application link is

*********************************************************************
AIM:
SSTiC 2014 is the second edition in a series started in 2013. For the
previous event, see http://grammars.grlmc.com/SSTiC2013/
SSTiC 2014 will be a research training event mainly addressed to PhD
students and PhD holders in the first steps of their academic career. It
intends to update them about the most recent developments in the diverse
branches of computer science and its neighbouring areas. To that purpose,
renowned scholars will lecture and will be available for interaction with
the audience.
SSTiC 2014 will cover the whole spectrum of computer science through 6
keynote lectures and 24 six-hour courses dealing with some of the most
lively topics in the field. The organizers share the idea that outstanding
speakers will really attract the brightest students.
ADDRESSED TO:
Graduate students from around the world. There are no formal pre-requisites
in terms of the academic degree the attendee must hold. However, since there
will be several levels among the courses, reference may be made to specific
knowledge background in the description of some of them.
SSTiC 2014 is also appropriate for more senior people who want to keep
themselves updated on developments in their own field or in other branches
of computer science. They will surely find it fruitful to listen and discuss
with scholars who are main references in computing nowadays.
REGIME:
In addition to keynotes, 3 parallel sessions will be held during the whole
event. Participants will be able to freely choose the courses they will be
willing to attend as well as to move from one to another.
VENUE:
SSTiC 2014 will take place in Tarragona, located 90 kms. to the south of
Barcelona. The venue will be:
Campus Catalunya

http://grammars.grlmc.com/sstic2014/registration.php
The selection of up to 8 courses requested in the registration template is
only tentative and non-binding. For the sake of organization, it will be
helpful to have an approximation of the respective demand for each course.
Since the capacity of the venue is limited, registration requests will be

As far as possible, participants are expected to attend for the whole (or
most of the) week (full-time). Fees are a flat rate allowing one to
participate to all courses. They vary depending on the registration
deadline.
ACCOMMODATION:
