Recently, wireless mesh and ad hoc networking is attracting significant interest from academia,
industry, and standard organizations. With several favorable characteristics, such as dynamic
self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing, easy maintenance, high scalability and
reliable services, wireless mesh networks have been advocated as a cost-effective approach to
support high-speed last mile connectivity and ubiquitous broadband access in the context of
home networking, enterprise networking, or community networking. Despite recent advances, and
the technical accumulations from more than a decade of research efforts in mobile ad hoc
networks, many research issues remain in all protocol layers of wireless mesh networks.
For example, the introduction of mixed (infrastructure and ad hoc) architecture, multi-radio,
multi-channel, and multi-antenna, have brought new challenges in the design of physical, MAC,
and routing protocols. New application scenarios, such as all-wireless office, are urging
researchers to address enhanced QoS support and various security issues in the design of
different protocol layers for wireless mesh networks.

This workshop 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, this workshop 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 be limited to, the following:
