Abstract:
In recent years, nanotechnology has emerged as a novel evolution in technology enabling the design of miniaturized devices.
The objective of ?Body Area NanoNetworks: Electromagnetic, Materials and Communications? (BAN2-EMC) special track is to foster this new area of research. BAN2-EMC proposes to be a forum where the current directions of development are discussed by various components supporting health monitoring, medical diagnoses and treatment, telemedicine, sensing, and assistance to people with disabilities.
BAN2-EMC is intended to put in evidence the multi-disciplinary aspects related to body area nanonetworks, with special focus on telecommunications, electromagnetic and biocompatibility issues. The main goal of this special track is to involve researchers and academics from various inter-disciplinary fields. It is expected that such an interaction between scientists coming from electrical and electronic engineering, computer science, biology, chemistry, physics, materials science, bio-engineering, bio-technology, and nanotechnology gives a high added-value to the research outputs in the huge field of body area nanonetworks.

Topics of interest:
We invite potential authors to submit original2-EMC special track, dealing with telecommunications, electromagnetics, and material science aspects in body area nanonetworks, including (but not limited to) the following:
1. Nanoscale Communications techniques

Intra-body propagation modeling
Capacity analysis
Network and channel coding
Information theory in nanonetworks
Nanoscale/molecular source and channel coding

2. Protocols and architectures for BAN2-EMC
- Physical and MAC layers modeling
- Synchronization issues
- Error Control techniques
- Routing schemes and architectures
- Security, Privacy and Trust issues
- Mobility issues

3. Nano computing aspects
- DNA, enzyme and membrane computing
- Nano/molecular electronics
- Molecular motors

4. Nanodevice Design
- Nano-antennas: Nanomaterials, In- and on-body nano-antennas, Nano-antenna Arrays
- Nano-components: Nano-transceivers, Nano-processors, Nano-memories, Nano-batteries, Energy Harvesting

Abstract

Cars have changed significantly over the last years, and will do so in the near future. Especially the integration of more and more sensors, such as camera or radar, and communication technologies opens up a whole new design space for in-vehicle applications. It is expected a different kind of automotive experience, where city streets will teem with small, driverless cars whose wireless capabilities direct traffic flow smoothly, so that to make traffic lights unnecessary. Furthermore, the use of cloud computing technology will enable passengers to work or play games during their commutes, while listening to their favorite music, as chosen by the car based on user profile. Vehicular communications can be considered as the "first social network for automobiles", since each driver can share data with other neighbors. As an instance, heavy traffic is a common occurrence in some areas on the roads (e.g., at intersections, taxi loading/unloading areas, and so on); as a consequence!
, roads become a popular social place for vehicles to connect to each other. Social characteristics and human behavior largely impact on vehicular ad hoc networks, and this arises to the vehicular social networks, which are formed when vehicles (individuals) "socialize" and share common interests.
The goal of this book is to provide the main features of Vehicular Social Networks (VSNs), from novel emerging technologies to social aspects used for mobile applications, as well as main issues and challenges. VSNs are described as decentralized opportunistic communication networks formed among vehicles. They exploit mobility aspects, and basics of traditional social networks, in order to create novel approaches of message exchange through the detection of dynamic social structures. Particular interest will be given to social aspects that are exploited in vehicular communications for both safety and entertainment applications. Indeed, vehicular communications can be considered as the "first social network for automobiles," because each driver can share data with other neighbors.

Selected topics that are covered in this book are related to: social networking techniques, social-based routing techniques applied to vehicular networks, data dissemination in VSNs, architectures for VSNs, as well as novel trends and challenges in VSNs. The book aims to provide significant technical and practical insights in different aspects, starting from a basic background on social networking, the inter-related technologies and applications to vehicular ad-hoc networks, the technical challenges, implementation and future trends.

Chapters dealing with the following aspects (but not limited to) are welcome:

Part I: Basics on Social Networking
Introduction to social networking technologies
Traditional online social networks
Security aspects in social networks
Cooperative aspects in social networks
Part II: From Social Networking to Vehicular Networks
Introduction to VSNs
Sociability aspects in routing for VSNs
Data dissemination in VSNs
Peer-to-peer architectures for VSNs
Resource management in VSNs
Cooperative communications in VSNs
QoS support in VSNs
Data fusion and aggregation in VSNs
Part III: Applications for VSNs
Social-based applications for VSNs
Infotainment in VSNs
Crowdsourcing applications for VSNs
Security, privacy and trust in VSNs
Gaming in vehicular social networks
Incentives and other economic aspects of VSNs
