ICCVE 2012 - the first International Conference on Connected Vehicles and Expo, addresses the rapidly evolving area "Connected Vehicles" which crosses multiple disciplines and industries including automotive, travel & transportation, information technology, communications, consumer electronics, industrial electronics, media & entertainment, energy & utilities, insurance, etc. Experts, practitioners and policy makers from all around the world presented the latest innovations and advances on connected vehicles, share the experience and insights, forecast the trends and opportunities, and discuss the policy, economics as well as social implications. The academic part of the conference program featured 20 technical sessions, which consisted of 70 paper presentations. In a hierarchical peer review process, two hundred and twenty paper submissions had to be evaluated. A large body of international TPC members generously contributed their time and effort to provide reviews and recommendations that were invaluable in ensuring a fair treatment of submissions. We applaud our authors for the high quality of manuscripts submitted to our conference, enabling us to accept 31.8% of submitted papers for presentation.
