Scope
Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) is emerging as a new technology
extending and converging the future generation wireless
networks. Standard organizations are actively calling for
specifications for mesh networking, e.g. IEEE 802.11, IEEE
802.15, IEEE 802.16 and IEEE 802.20. WMN is characterized
by dynamic self-organization, self-configuration and self-healing
to enable flexible integration, secure communications, easy
maintenance, high scalability and reliable services. To
achieve these goals, great efforts are ongoing in both academy
and industry communities.
A special session
on Wireless Mesh Networks will be organized at the PDCS2006
conference. This session constitutes a unique forum to present
the latest research results by international researchers
and developers. Original contributions are solicited, related
to all areas in wireless mesh networking. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:
- Mesh networking
for Ad hoc network, Wireless PAN, LAN, MAN and WAN
- Mesh networking
architecture in heterogeneous networks
- Multi-radio
and multi-channel Wireless Mesh Networking
- QoS provisioning
- Multimedia
services
- MAC protocol
design
- Routing protocols
- Scheduling
- Load balancing
- Topology
control
- Channel assignment
algorithms
- Cross-layer
optimization
- Physical
layer techniques
- Security,
authentication and privacy
- Fault tolerance,
anomaly detection and error recovery schemes
- Standardization
in emerging standards: IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16 mesh,
802.20 mesh
- Testbed,
prototype, practical system for WMN
Submission
guidelines and publications
Each should include authors names, affiliations, addresses,
email addresses of all authors, and corresponding author
and contact on the cover page. Each paper should include
up to 5 keywords and an abstract of no more than 250 words.
Please submit full paper, not exceeding 6 pages in length
(single-space) in PS or PDF format for consideration, to
the special session organizer by June 15, 2006 via email.
Submission implies the willingness of at least one author
to register and present the paper.
All papers selected for this session by peer-review process
will be published in the PDCS2006 conference proceedings
through ACTA Press, USA. All final papers should be received
by Sept. 1, 2006 and should adhere to the IASTED final paper
formatting requirements outlined at http://www.iasted.org/formatting-final.htm.
