Scope:
======
Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) have emerged as a new breed of Self-Organized Networks (SONs). In addition to vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication, it assumes that vehicular nodes are connected to other smart objects equipped with a powerful multi-sensor platform, communication technologies, computation units, and IP-based connectivity to the Internet, thereby creating a network called Internet of Vehicles (IoV).
IoV applications rely on cooperation-aware communication where information is exchanged intelligently among communicating nodes. This phenomenon advocates for content-centric communication paradigm for IoV applications where information is of the essence rather than the source and/or location of information. As a result, owing to the Future Internet Architecture (FIA), recently Content-Centric Networking (CCN) and Named Data Networking (NDN) are considered to be the architectural backbones for SONs and its breeds. Furthermore, the integration of IoV with other networks, Software-Defined Networks (SDNs) are adopted as a new solution, supporting the inherited communication technologies and allowing new network architecture, called Software-Defined Internet of Vehicles (SDIoV).

This workshop is soliciting original technical papers addressing the main research challenges in the Internet of Vehicles and its applications over future Internet.
The scope of this workshop includes, but not limited to:
· Wireless Vehicular Networking and Internet of Vehicles
· Vehicular Named Data Networking
· Software-Defined Intelligent Transportation Systems.
· Inter-Vehicle and Vehicle-to-X communications architectures and algorithms over NDN, and SDN.
· Security, privacy, and trust in Vehicular Networks over NDN and SDN.
· NDN-enabled 5G-IoV.
· Cross-layer protocol design.
· M2M communications over NDN and SDN-based Vehicular Networks.
· Blockchain-based reliable vehicular communication.
· Multimedia communications in Vehicular Networks over NDN and SDN.
· Performance, scalability, reliability and efficiency of Vehicular Networks communications over NDN and SDN.
· Testbeds and validation.
