Second IEEE Workshop on Wireless Mesh Networks
To be held in conjunction with SECON 2006
Reston, Virginia, USA
Monday, 25th September, 2006
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 2006 will be a one-day forum for meeting, presenting and discussing core technical issues and current research problems in wireless mesh networking. It will follow up on the success of WiMesh 2005 and will be held in conjunction with the SECON 2006 conference. WiMesh will feature select publications and talks by leading researchers in the field.
