CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS
Connected Vehicles in the Internet of Things:
Concepts, Technologies and Frameworks for the IoV
Edited by: Professor Zaigham Mahmood
(Northampton Uni UK, Shijiazhuang Tiedao Uni China)
To be published by Springer in 2019
Chapter Proposal Submission Deadline: 20 March 2019
Proposals to be sent to:
dr.z.mahmood@hotmail.co.uk
1. Introduction
A connected vehicle is a vehicle that is equipped with internet
access and wireless LAN that allow sharing of data through various
devices inside as well as outside the vehicle. The ad-hoc network
of such vehicles, often referred to as VANET or Internet of
Vehicles (IoV), is a typical application of the IoT technology. It
may be regarded as integration of three networks: inter-vehicle
network, intra-vehicle network, and vehicular mobile network.
Vehicle connectivity in VANET can be of several different
varieties including Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I),
vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Cloud (V2C), and
Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X). According to one survey, it is
expected that there will be around 380 million connected cars on
the roads by 2020. The IoV is an attractive aspect of the new
smart transportation vision. In this context, the focus of the
proposed book is on the new smart transportation system, IoV
connectivity frameworks, issues of security and safety in VANETs,
future developments in the IoV, technical solutions to address the
key challenges, and other related research and development.
2. Suggested Topics
Focus of the book is on the development of the IoV paradigm,
discussing frameworks, methodologies, benefits, limitations, as
well as case studies relating to the IoV/VANET vision. The
relevant topics include:
* Concepts, history, development and future of IoV
* Principles, technologies and architectures relating to VANET
* From IoT to IoV – historical perspective
* Connectivity of vehicles: protocols and frameworks
* IoV essentials: security, trust, safety and privacy
* Ad hoc and deterministic networking for mobility
* Authentication and authorisation mechanisms
* Human machine interactions in automobiles
* Road/vehicle/passenger/pedestrian safety in smart transportation
* Information security and management relevant to VANET
* Challenges and limitations relating to VANET and MANET
* Big Data challenges for connected vehicles in IoV
* Inter-vehicular and intra-vehicular networks
* Vehicular grids and vehicular clouds
* Vehicular mobile networks and MANET
* Vehicle-Infrastructure and Vehicle to Vehicle networks
* Vehicle to Cloud and Vehicle to Everything infrastructures
* Smart transportation and vehicular intelligence
* Intelligent traffic management
* Autonomous operations, AI and machine learning
* Sensor technologies and networks
* Ambient intelligence in VANET and MANET
* Future vehicular networks and virtualisation
* And other topics relevant to IoV/VANET/MANET
3. Aim and Objectives
The aim of the proposed book is to report and discuss the related
topics to benefit researchers/practitioners as well as to advance
the existing body of knowledge in the proposed subject area of
IoV/VANET. The objectives are:
* To capture the latest research on wireless connectivity, machine
learning, sensor technology, and autonomous operations in the IoV
vision
* To provide technical solutions that address the key challenges
of security and safety, and limitations with respect to VANETs and
present case studies
* To develop a text book and complete reference for students,
researchers and practitioners in the subject area of IoV, VANET
and MANET
4. Submission Procedure
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit 1-2-page
chapter proposals clearly stating the objective, scope and
structure of the proposed chapters - by the deadline mentioned
above. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified within two
weeks (in most cases) and given guidelines for full chapter
preparation. Completed chapters should be approximately 10,000
words or 20 pages in length – longer chapters will also be
acceptable. Full chapters will be reviewed following a
double-blind peer review process to ensure relevance, quality,
originality and high information content. Proposals (and full
chapters, after the acceptance of the proposal), in the form of
WORD files, should be sent to:
dr.z.mahmood@hotmail.co.uk<mailto:dr.z.mahmood@hotmail.co.uk>
5. Important dates
* Chapter proposals due date: 20 March 2019
* Notification of acceptance: within 2 weeks of receipt of
proposals
* Full chapters due date: within 6 weeks of acceptance
notification
* Chapter reviews feedback: within 6 weeks of chapter due date
* Revised chapters due date: within 3 weeks of review feedback
