CALL FOR PAPERS
Workshop Objectives
Recently, wireless mesh and ad hoc 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 of research efforts in mobile ad hoc networks, many research issues remain in all protocol layers of wireless mesh networks. For example, the introduction 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. Its main purpose is to promote discussions of research and relevant activities in the design of architectures, protocols, algorithms, services, and applications for wireless mesh and ad hoc networks. Also, this workshop aims at increasing the synergy between academic and industry professionals working in this area. We 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 in this workshop will include, but will not be limited to, the following:
• Multi-radio and multi-channel wireless mesh networking
• Wireless LAN, PAN, MAN and WAN
• 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
• Implications of smart antennas on MAC and routing protocols
• Quality of Services provisioning
• Multimedia communications over mesh and ad hoc networks
• Network deployment, localization, and synchronization
• Topology construction and maintenance
• Methods and tools for mesh and ad hoc networks simulation
• Modeling and performance evaluations
• Physical layer techniques
• Cross layer optimizations
• Power-aware and energy-efficient protocols and algorithms
• Self-organization, self-configuration network architectures
• Intelligent system techniques for mesh and ad hoc networks
• Security-related issues in mesh and ad hoc networks
• Novel applications of mesh and ad hoc networks
• Wireless sensor networks and RFID
• Test beds, prototypes, and practical systems
Submission Guidelines
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, and 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). Detailed submission instructions will be posted on the workshop webpage. 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.
Important Dates
Paper submission due: March 15, 2010 (Monday, 23:59 EST)
Acceptance notification: April 30, 2010
Camera-ready due: May 14, 2010
Registration due: May 14, 2010
Publication
We expect to accept about 30 papers. All papers will be peer reviewed and the comments will be provided to the authors. All accepted papers will be published by IEEE Communications Society and IEEE Digital Library.
