In conjunction with ICCCN 2013 
Nassau, Bahamas, July 30  August 2, 2013 

CALL FOR PAPERS 



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 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. 



The paper title and author name list/order cannot be changed during the final 
camera-ready submission. All authors of a paper must be registered in the RIGHT 
order via EDAS at the SUBMISSION TIME and cannot be changed after the 
submission due time at EDAS. The final program will be generated from EDAS 
automatically.
