The Seventh International Workshop on Wireless Mesh and Ad Hoc Networks
(WiMAN 2013)

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

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.
