Abstract
Welcome to the first workshop on Vehicular Networks from Theory to Practice, VTP 2012. Vehicular networks have emerged as a very active area of research with large scale efforts and investments on both sides of the Atlantic. The services these networks promise to enable will lead to leap changes in road traffic safety and management and potentially revolutionize modern traffic systems. However, these network constructs are also largely untested and many unknowns exist before they can be realized in live systems. This workshop provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to meet and discuss all aspects of bringing theoretical results to practical implementations.
