************************************************************************
****************
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

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.
