The call for papers for the 23rd World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems 2016 has officially opened. The Congress will be staged at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, Melbourne, Australia from 10 to 14 October 2016. The theme for the 2016 World Congress is “Enhancing Liveable Cities and Communities”.

Scientific papers should concentrate on research and scholarships as they will be independently refereed in accordance with academic journal standards. Full papers of up to 12 pages will be required.

Technical papers may address the institutional, business, societal and economic aspects of ITS, as well as technical subjects. Draft papers of up to three pages will be required.

Commercial papers are those describing near market work. They should be specific rather than general and describe an activity aimed at generating or improving a specific product, device or idea for the commercial market. Draft papers of up to three pages will be required.

Scientific papers will be reviewed by highly qualified reviewers from each of the three World Congress regions and must meet high scholarly standards to be accepted. Selected papers will be invited to publish in partner journals, International Journal of Intelligent Transport Systems Research and IET Intelligent Transport Systems.

A limited number of special interest sessions will be included in the program. Organised at the request of organisations or experts developing and deploying ITS, these interactive, tailor-made sessions will delve into topics and offer fresh perspectives and insight.

The pressure for special interest session slots has been steadily increasing and are now overbid by at least 3-to-1. To ensure as wide a range of sessions as possible, and to give an equal opportunity to all potential bidders, the IPC has reluctantly decided that the criteria for selection must be tightened. Full details are explained in the Call for Papers brochure.

All accepted speakers across all session categories will be required to register and pay the speaker registration fee by the nominated deadline date.
The deadline for paper submission is 13 January 2016. The submission guidelines are available on the World Congress %$Linker: 2 External <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary /> 0 0 0 oLinkExternal website Visit WC website false http://www.itsworldcongress2016.com/program/paper-and-sis-submissions false false%>.
