  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 urgingresearchers 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.
