General News: The fully networked car - Call for Abstracts

Date: 03 October 2008

Taking place at one of the world’s leading automotive events, the Geneva International Motor Show, The Fully Networked Car will take place on 4 and 5 March 2009, at the Palexpo congress centre.

As in previous years, the event will bring together key specialists in the field, from top decision-makers to engineers, designers, planners, government officials, regulators, standards experts and others. Presentations are sought that bring light to some of the complex questions that the ICT and car industries are faced with. As was the case in 2008, a major topic will be ICT and climate change. Examples of other topics are standards and spectrum; car-to-X communications; nomadic devices; voice and audiovisual services; advanced driver assistance systems; wireless technologies for car production lines; safety; and security and privacy.
