June 16, 2008
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 2008 will be a one-day forum for meeting, presenting and discussing core technical issues and current research problems in wireless mesh networking.

Call for Papers
Unlike previous years, WiMesh 2008 would like to solicit 6-page papers in the area of wireless mesh networking. Topics include, but 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
A small number of invited papers may complement the final program depending on time constraints.
