Call for Papers: Automotive Pervasive Computing
Special Issue of the IEEE Pervasive Computing Magazine

http://www.computer.org/portal/web/computingnow/pccfp3

Submission Deadline: 1 October 2010
WIP Deadline: 15 December 2010
Publication date: July–September 2011

Modern cars are pervasive computing environments. They contain
numerous (often 100 or more) networked processors linked to input and
output in the real world. Contextual information is acquired using a
diverse set of sensors and provided for a variety of applications in
the car. Actuators are computer controlled and provide safety and
comfort. New protocols and standards allow networking of cars with
other cars, the surrounding infrastructure, and with mobile devices.
Hence cars offer an interesting and challenging microcosm for
pervasive computing research. But the stakes are high, as this is a
safety critical environment.

IEEE Pervasive Computing magazine invites articles relating to
pervasive computing in the automotive context. We welcome
contributions that address pervasive computing applications in the
car, implicit and explicit interaction with cars, and pervasive
computing technologies, which support assisted and autonomous driving.
Papers and work in progress should report on work that looks at this
topic from several angles including sensing and context, hardware and
software platforms, and tools and frameworks for development of
automotive pervasive systems, novel in-car user interfaces,
experiments, and evaluations. Relevant topics include, but are not
limited to:

# Sensing and context in automotive environments
 * Pervasive sensor systems in the car
 * Use of sensors and context for automotive applications
 * Contextual vehicular applications
 * Collaborative sensing with multiple cars

# Automotive user interfaces
 * Concepts for in-car user interfaces based on pervasive computing technology
 * Multi-modal interaction in the car
 * Detecting user intentions, emotions, and distraction
 * User interfaces for assistive functionality and autonomous driving
 * Applications of car-to-car communication

# Pervasive computing applications in the car
 * Contextual information and navigation systems
 * Technologies to improve media consumption while driving
 * Communication appliances for drivers and passengers
 * In-car pervasive gaming for passengers and drivers

# Experience with pervasive computing in the car
 * Experiences with pervasive computing technologies in cars
 * Case studies of automotive pervasive computing
 * Ethnographic work on the use of technologies in cars

Papers focusing solely on low-level networking protocols for ad-hoc
vehicle networks are not appropriate for this special issue.

IEEE Pervasive Computing is interested in a variety of submission
types including research papers, project retrospectives, surveys, and
tutorials. Research articles should present summaries of new
contributions that are significantly different from previously
published work. Retrospective articles give a summary of lessons
learned for important longer-term projects, synthesizing the results
that might have appeared elsewhere. Survey articles provide a
comprehensive overview of a critical topic that is relevant to the
special issue but not found in any other forum and would be useful to
educate the readers of this magazine. Tutorials provide relevant
how-to knowledge of some important technology or technique that would
inform the readership, again in a way that would not likely be found
in any other publication forum.

Submissions should be 4,000 to 6,000 words long and should follow the
magazine’s guidelines on style and presentation. All submissions will
be peer-reviewed in accordance with normal practice for scientific
publications, and all accepted articles will be edited according to
Computer Society guidelines. Submissions should be received by 1
October 2010 to receive full consideration.

In addition to full-length submissions, we also invite
work-in-progress submissions of 250 words or less. These will not be
peer-reviewed, but will be edited by the staff into a feature for the
issue. The deadline for work-in-progress submissions is 15 December
2010.
