THEME AND SCOPE
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 the technologist and 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 analysis - Greening the Internet - 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 - Cognitive and radio-agile mesh networks - Security and privacy in mesh networks - Testbed, prototype, and practical systems PAPER SUBMISSIONS Authors should prepare a PDF file following the IEEE 8.5x11 conference format in accordance with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines (http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting). Manuscripts should not exceed seven (7) pages in size including all text, figures, tables, and references. Papers significantly exceeding this limit will be automatically rejected. Please note that accepted papers will be limited to six (6) pages. Attendance to the workshop will require a Full Registration to the main conference. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press in the combined WoWMoM 2011 workshop proceedings. Accepted papers not presented at the workshop will not be included in the IEEE Digital Library.
