CALL FOR PAPERS: 1st IEEE ICC 2015 Workshop on Dependable Vehicular Communications (DVC) Organizing Committee Workshop Description Thomas Zemen (primary contact) (FTW), Jerome Härri (EURECOM), Christoph Mecklenbräuker (TU Wien), Claude Stefan Rührup (FTW), Christoph Sommer Oestges (UCL), (Universität Paderborn), Erik Ström (Chalmers University), Fredrik Tufvesson (Lund Univ.) Wireless vehicular communication systems constitute the backbone of intelligent transportations systems (ITS). Currently, wireless communications informs the human driver. In the future wireless communications will influence the movement of vehicles. Automated driving and driver assistance systems require Selected Areas in Communications the exchange of Symposium kinematic information in distributed control Technical Program Committee Members algorithms with very short latency. Future ITS that network Satellite and Space track Taimoor Abbas (Volvo Cars), Victor Bahl (Microsoft Research), Communications automated vehicles with the goal of zero accidents have the Fredrik Brännström (Chalmers), Claudio Casetti (Polito Italy), potential to save more than 1 Mio. human lives and avoid 8 Mio.
