Call For Papers

In the recent years, we are witnessing a revolution in mobile communication and computation technologies. The Internet of Things (IoT) evolution has given birth to several new groundbreaking applications, such as Internet of Vehicles (IoV), smart cities, and cyber physical systems (CPS). The proliferation of IoV-based applications magnifies the importance and irreplaceability of IoV. Considering the dynamic nature of entities in the IoV, there are a series of challenges including the security, privacy, decentralization, trust management and so on. For efficient decision making, in IoVs, we use Vehicle to Vehicle/Others (V2V/V2X) communication to compliment on-board sensors' inputs and provide better services. A key concern when relying on sensor-data is vulnerability of data. Malicious actors tend to inject false data or alter the communication among normal vehicles.

Papers may present advances in the theory, design, implementation, analysis, verification, or empirical evaluation and measurement of the area. Papers that shed new light on past or informally known results by means of sound formal theory or thorough empirical analysis will also be welcomed.

• Access control in IoV
