In conjunction with ICCCN 2010

Zurich, Switzerland, August 2-5, 2010

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 31, 2010 (Wednesday, 23: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.
