CALL FOR PAPERS
First IEEE Workshop on Hot Topics in Mesh Networking (HotMESH'09)
http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mesh09/

Kos, Greece – June 15, 2009

In conjunction with the 10th IEEE International Symposium on a "World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks" (WoWMoM'09)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

THEME AND SCOPE

This workshop aims to bring together the technologist and researchers who share interest in the area of wireless mesh networks. The main purpose is to promote discussions of research and relevant activities in the design of architectures, protocols, algorithms, and applications for wireless mesh 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 all layers of mesh networks, from application to physical layer.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
· Cross-layer design and optimizations
· Capacity analysis
· Greening the Internet
· Multi-radio and multi-channel wireless mesh networking
· Medium access control protocols
· Self-configuration and self-management procedures
· Routing, scheduling, and channel assignment protocols
· Mesh networks measurement
· QoS provisioning
· Mobility management
· Topology construction and maintenance
· Security architectures, functions and protocols
· Privacy enhancing technologies for mesh networks
· Testbed, prototype, and practical systems
