> 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

> - 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
