value of achieved research results as well as potential future directions in the field of inter-vehicular communication. Two major themes ‘with variations ’ were the dependence on a specific technology (particularly the focus on IEEE 802.11p in the last decade) and the struggling with bringing self-organizing networks to deployment/market. The team started with a retrospective view and identified the following topics as major contributions in the last decade: analysis and design of single-hop broadcast communication and geonetworking, scalability issues (for both, small and large penetration rates) as well as corresponding security and privacy approaches. In addition, all the work also led to a strong requirements elicitation for the domains of safety and efficiency applications bringing together traffic experts, automotive engineers and the IVC community. The working group considered various contributions to have a lasting value, particularly analytical models for information dissemination, approaches to control or to avoid congestion of the radio channel, building control applications on top of the unreliable wireless communication as well as a bunch of security approaches like broadcast authentication and misbehavior detection. In addition, the working group tried to check whether results from the previous Dagstuhl seminar o
