We also take this chance to invite you<br>(or anyone from your research group) to contribute papers to this<br>conference. Thanks in advance.<br>=================================================================<br><br>Final call for Papers<br>The Vehicular Wireless Networks and Vehicular Intelligent Transportation Systems<br>have recently received much attention. The aim is to improve traffic safety, protect<br>environment by reducing traffic congestion and fuel consumption, and
enable a<br>plethora of new applications such as mobile infotainment. To facilitate both safety<br>and non-safety applications, there is a necessity to integrate communications and<br>computing technologies into vehicular and transportation systems. To facilitate<br>these applications, many different types of communications and networking would be<br>involved, including intra-vehicle, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-roadside<br>(V2R) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications. Therefore, this workshop<br>intends to foster state-of-the-art research in the areas of Vehicular<br>Communications, Networks, and Applications through a forum for novel results and<br>solutions to solve various problems and challenges foreseen in the future.<br><br>Important Dates:<br><br> Submission Deadline: August 1, 2009<br> Authors Notification: Aug. 22, 2009<br> Final Manuscript Due: Sept. 1,
