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.
