IEEE VNC 2009 is a new conference established with the merger of IEEE V2VCOM and IEEE AutoNet Workshops under IEEE ITS Society and IEEE ComSoc.

Scope and Purpose:
This conference will seek to bring together researchers, professionals, and practitioners to present and discuss recent developments and challenges in vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure networking technologies, and their applications.

Topics of interest are:
- Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications
- Vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications
- Vehicular ad hoc networks
- Potential applications of V2V and V2I communications including ITS
- Protocols for V2V and V2I communications (MAC, routing, mobility management, etc.)
- Security and authentication issues in V2V and V2I networks
- Physical layer and RF level technologies for V2V and V2I communications
- Antenna system technologies for V2V and V2I communications
- Radio resource management and QoS support for V2V and V2I communications
- Information networking over V2V, V2R and next-generation networks
- Simulation / performance evaluation techniques for V2V and V2I communications
- Algorithms, protocols and systems for data dissemination in V2V and V2I communications
- Experimental systems and testbeds for V2V and V2I communications
- Standardization updates on V2V and V2I communications
