Brings together the works of scholars working on techniques, standards, and emerging deployment on 'living at the age of wireless communications and smart vehicular systems'. This work centers on four themes: driver and driving environment recognition, telecommunication applications, noise reduction, and dialogue in vehicles.

"Advances for In-Vehicle and Mobile Systems: Challenges for International Standards" is organized to bring together the latest works of scholars working on the latest techniques, standards, and emerging deployment on "living at the age of wireless communications and smart vehicular systems". The objective is to incorporate speech, video, image, vehicular sensory data, and wireless communication modalities to model the total behavior of the driver and use that model towards personalization of the vehicle to provide more comfortable and safer driving experience. The format of this work centers on four themes: driver and driving environment recognition, telecommunication applications, noise reduction, dialogue in vehicles. "Advances for In-Vehicle and Mobile Systems: Challenges for International Standards", is appropriate for researchers and professionals working in signal processing technologies, next generation vehicle design and networks for mobile platforms.
