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 networkingWireless LAN, PAN, MAN and WANMulti-hop wireless communications and ad hoc networkingMAC protocols (IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, 802.20, and beyond)Routing, scheduling, and channel assignment protocolsImplications of smart antennas on MAC and routing protocolsQuality of Services provisioningMultimedia communications over mesh and ad hoc networksNetwork deployment, localization, and synchronizationTopology construction and maintenanceMethods and tools for mesh and ad hoc networks simulationModeling and performance evaluationsPhysical layer techniquesCross layer optimizationsPower-aware and energy-efficient protocols and algorithmsSelf-organization, self-configuration network architecturesIntelligent system techniques for mesh and ad hoc networksSecurity-related issues in mesh and ad hoc networksNovel applications of mesh and ad hoc networksWireless sensor networks and RFIDTest beds, prototypes, and practical systemshttp://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/~hammari/WiMAN_Workshop2012.html
