The Sixth International Workshop on Wireless Mesh and
             Ad Hoc Networks (WiMAN 2012)
http://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/~hammari/WiMAN_Workshop2012.html

           In conjunction with ICCCN 2012
       Munich, Germany, July 30 ? August 2, 2012

                 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.
