Call for Papers

Wireless mesh networking is attracting significant interest as a

low-cost networking platform to support ubiquitous broadband access in

the context of home networking, enterprise networking, or a larger,

community or metro-scale networking. Many universities, as well as

industrial labs have on-going research projects on various aspects of

mesh networking, including architectures, protocols, services and

applications. Several startups are building mesh networking platforms

and deploying services. WiMesh 2009 will be a one-day forum for meeting,

presenting and discussing core technical issues and current research

problems in wireless mesh networking.

Starting from 2008, WiMesh includes in the program papers submitted

through an open Call for Papers. Given its one-day, highly interactive

format, papers presenting innovative ideas, although possibly not fully

mature, are very welcome. Papers must be formatted according to IEEE

conference proceedings style (see here for detailed instructions and

styles), and must not exceed 6 pages . Topics include, but are not

limited to:

* Experiences with the deployment of wireless mesh networks

* Wireless mesh network performance

* Unique challenges found in wireless mesh networks

* Co-existence of wireless mesh networks with existing 802.11

infrastructure and solutions

* Experimental validation of wireless mesh network algorithms

* Architectures, protocols, and algorithms for wireless mesh networks

* Localization and mobility in wireless mesh networks

* Security, privacy, and trustworthiness

* Integration of wireless mesh networks with other wired and wireless

networks

* Protocols exploiting novel technologies such as UWB, MIMO,

directional antennas, and software radios

* Wireless mesh network testbeds
