Call For Papers
The Tenth IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Mesh and Ad Hoc Networks (WiMAN 2016) will be held in conjunction with the 25th IEEE International Conference on Computer Communications and Networks (ICCCN 2016), in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. All papers presented in WiMAN 2016 will be published in the workshop proceedings by IEEE Communications Society and IEEE Digital Library.
The main purpose is to share state-of-the-art research results, promote discussions of research, and share recent research activities in the areas of design of architectures, protocols, algorithms, services, and applications for wireless networks. It also aims to promote the synergy between academic and industry professionals working in these areas. We seek papers that address theoretical, experimental, and work in-progress that cover all layers (from the physical layer to the application layer) of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks.
