The Third IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Mesh and Ad Hoc Networks
(WiMAN'09)
June 26, 2009, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
in conjunction with ICDCS 2009
http://www.cse.nd.edu/~darts/wiman09.html
Submission Deadline: December 7, 2008
***************************************************************************************************
Recently, wireless mesh networking is attracting significant interest from academia,
industry, and standard organizations. With several favorable characteristics, such
as dynamic self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing, easy maintenance,
high scalability and reliable services, wireless mesh networks have been advocated
as a cost-effective approach to support high-speed last mile connectivity and
ubiquitous broadband access in the context of home networking, enterprise networking,
or community networking. Despite recent advances, and the technical accumulations
from more than a decade's research effort in mobile ad hoc networks, many research
issues remain in all protocol layers of wireless mesh networks. For example, the
introducing of mixed (infrastructure and ad hoc) architecture, multi-radio,
multi-channel, and multi-antenna, have brought new challenges in the design of
physical, MAC, and routing protocols. New application scenarios, such as all-wireless
office, are urging researchers to address enhanced QoS support and various security
issues in the design of different protocol layers for wireless mesh networks.
This workshop aims to bring together the technologies and researchers who share
interest in the area of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks. The main purpose is to
promote discussions of research and relevant activities in the design of architectures,
protocols, algorithms, services, and applications for wireless networks. It also aims
at increasing the synergy between academic and industry professionals working in this
area. We plan to seek papers that address theoretical, experimental, and work in-progress
at the all layers of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks, from application layer to the
physical layer.
Topics covered by the workshop will include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Multi-radio and multi-channel wireless mesh networking
- Multi-hop wireless communications and ad hoc networking
- MAC protocols (IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, 802.20, and beyond)
- Routing, scheduling, and channel assignment protocols
- Quality of Services provisioning
- Multimedia communications over mesh and ad hoc networks
- Network deployment, localization, and synchronization
- Topology construction and maintenance
- Modeling and performance evaluations
- Cross layer optimizations
- Power-aware and energy-efficient protocols and algorithms
- Intelligent system techniques for mesh and ad hoc networks
- Testbed, prototype, and practical systems
- Novel applications of mesh and ad hoc networks
- Vehicular mesh and ad hoc networks
- Wireless sensor networks
- Self-adaptive and self-organizing wireless networking systems
Important Dates
-----------------------
- Paper submission due: December 7, 2008
- Acceptance notification: February 7, 2009
- Camera-ready due: March 7, 2009

Submissions and Publications
--------------------------------------------
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research and
recent developments in the topics related to the workshop. Submissions should include
an abstract, key words, the e-mail address of the corresponding author. The length of
the papers should be limited to 6 pages in standard IEEE camera-ready format
(double-column, 10-pt font). Authors must submit their papers through the CMT conference
management site (https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/WIMAN2009). Submission of a paper
should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one
of the authors will register and attend the workshop to present the work.
All papers will be peer reviewed and the reviewers' comments will be provided to the authors.
All accepted papers will be published in workshop proceedings by IEEE Computer Society
Press and IEEE online library.
