Multimedia Tools and Applications - Track 7: Connected and Autonomous Vehicles

Editor: Weisong Shi
University of Delaware, USA


Multimedia Tools and Applications announces a new track dedicated to connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs), bringing together relevant technologies, techniques, and tools from multi-sensor data fusion, computer vision, perception, communications, smart infrastructures, and real-time edge computing. This is an opportunity to gather researchers from different domains to discuss and share original research works or practical experiences relevant to CAVs. 

Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:

  • Fusion of sensor and image data
  • Object detection and tracking for autonomous driving
  • Point cloud data processing
  • Data analytics for connected vehicles
  • Perception, localization, mapping, planning, control, and action prediction
  • Autonomous vehicles, drones, and boats
  • Vehicle-Edge-Cloud infrastructure for CAVs
  • Software over-the-air update for connected vehicles
  • Smart infrastructure
  • Machine Learning system optimization for CAVs
  • AI-driven traffic control and coordination
  • Autonomous fleet management
  • Teleoperation for autonomous vehicles


Submission Guidelines. Authors should prepare their manuscript according to the Instructions for Authors available from the Multimedia Tools and Applications website (this opens in a new tab). Authors should submit through the online submission site at https://www.editorialmanager.com/mtap/default.aspx (this opens in a new tab) and select “Track 7: Connected and Autonomous Vehicles” when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process. Submitted papers should present original, unpublished work, relevant to the topics of the track. All submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of relevance, significance of contribution, technical quality, scholarship, and quality of presentation, by at least three independent reviewers. It is the policy of the journal that no submission, or substantially overlapping submission, be published or be under review at another journal or conference at any time during the review process. Final decisions on all papers are made by the Section Editor.
