[manet] [CFP] Special Session "Wireless Mesh Networks" in PDCS 2006 (Final extension: 1, August)

["Yan \(Josh\) ZHANG" <yanzhang at ieee.org>]

We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP
=================================================================

Special Session "Wireless Mesh Networks" in the 18th IASTED International
Conference on
PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING AND SYSTEMS ~ PDCS 2006 ~
November 13-15, 2006; Dallas, Texas, USA

http://www.iasted.org/conferences/2006/Dallas/pdcs-specsess1.htm

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.
