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
