WiMesh-2005

First IEEE Workshop on Wireless Mesh Networks

Held in conjunction with SECON-2005

Santa Clara, CA

26th September, 2005

      Recently, there has been a growing research and practical interest on wireless mesh networks. Academia, large industrial research labs, and start-up companies have ongoing projects related to various aspects of mesh networks. All these efforts and experimental studies are geared towards real applications in home networks, enterprise networks, and community networks that we already see today, and more can be envisioned in near future.

To create a venue for leading experts in this field to meet and discuss theory, practice, experience, vision, and research issues on this timely subject, we are organizing the First IEEE Communication Society's Workshop on Wireless Mesh Networks (WiMesh 2005) in conjunction with IEEE SECON 2005.
