16th International Workshop on Communication Technologies for Vehicles - Nets4Cars

Call for Papers

The Workshop Nets4Cars will be held in conjunction with the Conference on Networked Systems (NetSys 2021) in Lübeck, Germany, from March 08-11, 2021 13.-16. September 2021.

Aims of the Workshop

The Nets4Cars workshop brings together practitioners and researchers from various companies, research centers, and academia in the emerging field of connected vehicles. The workshop is part of the Nets4 workshop series (Nets4Cars, Nets4Trains, Nets4Aircraft, Nets4Spacecrafts). The 16th Nets4Cars workshop will be coloccated with the Conference on Networked Systems NetSys 2021.

The workshop addresses a wide range of topcis related to vehiular communication, ranging from wireless propagation, communication and networking to security, management and applications. The focus is on the next generation vehicular communication for road safety and traffic efficiency applications, which includes support for vehicle automation, vulnerable road users as well as the usage of roadside infrastructure.
