The AUTOMETA project has been highly successful in producing high‑quality scientific output that directly reflects the project’s objectives and the novelty of its research activities. The results generated throughout the project have been disseminated through peer‑reviewed international journals, top‑tier conferences, and a book chapter, demonstrating both the scientific validity and the broader impact of the work conducted.

Overall, the project produced:

• Three (3) peer‑reviewed journal publications,
• One (1) journal paper currently under submission,
• One (1) peer‑reviewed book chapter, and
• Four (4) peer‑reviewed international conference papers.

These publications have been accepted and presented in leading venues in the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and communication systems fields, confirming the scientific excellence of the AUTOMETA consortium. The cross‑disciplinary nature of the project, combining communication theory, cooperative perception, RIS‑assisted vehicular networking, and control, has significantly strengthened the research profile of the participating researchers and institutions.
