The 12th International Workshop on Wireless Mesh and Ad-hoc Networking (WiMAN'18) 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, WiMAN'18 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 limited to, the following:
- Multi-radio and multi-channel wireless mesh networking
- Wireless LAN, PAN, MAN and WAN
- Multi-hop wireless communications and ad hoc networking
- MAC protocols (IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, 802.20, and beyond)
- Routing, scheduling, and channel assignment protocols
- Implications of smart antennas on MAC and routing protocols
- Quality of Service provisioning
- Multimedia communications over mesh and ad hoc networks
- Network deployment, localization, and synchronization
- Topology construction and maintenance
- Methods and tools for mesh and ad hoc networks simulation
- Modeling and performance evaluations
- Physical layer techniques
- Cross layer optimizations
- Power-aware and energy-efficient protocols and algorithms
- Self-organizable, self-configurable network architectures
- Intelligent system techniques for mesh and ad hoc networks
- Security-related issues in mesh and ad hoc networks
- Novel applications of mesh and ad hoc networks
- Wireless sensor networks and RFID
- Test beds, prototypes, and practical systems
Submission Guidelines
Submitted manuscripts must be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font) and must be submitted via EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wiman2018) as PDF files (formatted for 8.5x11-inch paper). The manuscripts should be no longer than 6 pages. Two additional pages are permitted if the authors are willing to pay an over-length charge at the time of publication (manuscripts should not exceed 8 pages). Submitted papers cannot have been previously published in or be under consideration for publication in another journal or conference. The workshop Program Committee reserves the right to not review papers that either exceeds the length specification or have been submitted or published elsewhere. Submissions must include a title, abstract, keywords, author(s) and affiliation(s) with postal and e-mail address(es).
Review and Publication of Manuscripts
Submitted papers will be reviewed by the workshop Program Committee and judged on originality, technical correctness, relevance, and quality of presentation. An accepted paper must be presented at the ICCCN 2018 venue by one of the authors registered at the full registration rate. Each workshop registration covers up to two workshop papers by an author. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the ICCCN proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference, including IEEE Xplore® Digital Library if the paper is not presented by the author at the conference.
When uploading a camera-ready at IEEE, note that the paper title, author names/affiliation and order must be IDENTICAL to the original submission for peer reviewing. No title change, author addition or removal is allowed.
Camera-ready and registration due date is May 10, 2018. Check ICCCN homepage to find detailed instructions. Please try to complete the process as early as possible in order to avoid the rush hour, giving you time to deal with unexpected but possible issues/delay.
Journal Special Issue
Selected papers, with enhanced content, will be published in a Special Issue of the International Journal on Parallel, Emergent, and Distributed Systems.
