[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------- First International Workshop on Wireless Mesh and Ad Hoc Networks (WiMAN'07) Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, August 16, 2007 in conjunction with ICCCN 2007. http://www.cs.iusb.edu/~liqzhang/WiMAN2007/index.htm Submission Deadline: March 23, 2007 Distinguished papers will be invited to extend to full version for a special issue of Elsevier's Computer Communications Journal (ComCom). ************************************************************************ **************** Recently, wireless mesh 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's research effort in mobile ad hoc networks, many research issues remain in all protocol layers of wireless mesh networks. For example, the introducing 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. The main purpose is to promote discussions of research and relevant activities in the design of architectures, protocols, algorithms, services, and applications for wireless 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 the all layers of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks, from application layer to the physical layer. Topics covered by the workshop will include, but are not 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 Testbed, prototype, and practical systems Novel applications of mesh and ad hoc networks Wireless sensor networks and RFID Important Dates --------------- Paper submission due: March 23, 2007 Acceptance notification: May 11, 2007 Camera-ready due: June 1, 2007 Workshop: August 16, 2007 Submissions and Publications ---------------------------- Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review somewhere else, are solicited. Submissions should include an abstract, key words, the e-mail address of the corresponding author. The length of the papers should be limited up to 6 pages in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font). Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format (or postscript) by sending it as an e-mail attachment to Liqiang Zhang (liqzhang(a)cs.iusb.edu) or Dakai Zhu (dzhu(a)cs.utsa.edu). 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. All papers will be peer reviewed and the comments will be provided to the authors. All accepted papers will be published in workshop proceeding by IEEE Communications Society and IEEE Digital Library, or Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Distinguished papers will be invited to extend to full version for a special issue of Elsevier's Computer Communications Journal (ComCom) on Wireless Mesh Networks. The special issue will be published in early 2008.
