THEME AND SCOPE

The huge advances of wireless broadband technologies lay the foundation
of a future where ubiquitous wireless network access will be anywhere
at anytime. Wireless mesh networks are expected to be a key element of
this future by providing a highly scalable, reliable and cost-effective
wireless backbone to mobile devices, through a multi-hop wireless
communication system. Although significant advances have taken place in
the last few years, open questions and technical challenges still
remain, in addition to how wireless mesh networks will integrate with
and/or influence existing mobile and fixed broadband networks in order
to create an integrated infrastructure that supports emerging services.

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 on recent advances in the analysis
design and implementation of systems, protocols and services for next
generation mobile 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
- Integration with mobile and fixed broadband networks
- Support for new and emerging services, such as multimedia content
delivery, social networks and urban sensing
- Wireless mesh networks for Smart Grids and Smart Cities
- Multi-radio and multi-channel wireless mesh networking
- Medium access control protocols
- Mesh networks configuration and management
- Routing, scheduling, and channel assignment protocols
- Measurements in mesh networks
- QoS provisioning
- Mobility and location management
- Topology construction and maintenance
- Cognitive and radio-agile mesh networks
- Security and privacy in mesh networks
- Testbed, prototype, and practical systems
	
PAPER SUBMISSIONS
Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor currently under
review by another conference or journal. Guidelines on paper submission
and formatting are available at
http://www.cs.kau.se/mesh2012/submissioninstructions.html. Please note
that all accepted papers will need to have a full registration to the
conference (there is no workshop only registration). In addition,
no-shows of accepted papers at the workshop will result in those papers
NOT being included in the IEEE Digital Library. All submitted papers
will be reviewed by up to three experts and if accepted, included in
conference proceedings published by IEEE.
At least one author of accepted papers is required to register at the
full registration rate.
