                                                    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.
