AIMS AND TOPICS
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 technologists 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/Performance modeling and analysis
-Energy Saving and Green Mesh Networks
-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
-Interference Control and Management
-Cognitive and radio-agile mesh networks
-Security and privacy in mesh networks
-Testbed, prototype, and practical systems
PAPER SUBMISSION
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.
