Wireless mesh networking is attracting significant interest as a low-cost networking platform to support ubiquitous broadband access in home networks, enterprise networks, or larger, community or metro-scale networks. Many universities and 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.

Following the success of the first four IEEE Workshops on Wireless Mesh Networks, WiMesh 2010 will be a one-day forum for meeting, presenting and discussing core technical issues and current research problems in wireless mesh networking. Given its one-day, highly interactive format, papers presenting early innovative ideas are very welcome. Topics include, but are not limited to:

* Experiences with the deployment of wireless mesh networks
* Wireless mesh network performance
* Integration of wireless mesh networks with wired/wireless networks (802.11, white space, etc.)
* Experimental validation of wireless mesh network algorithms
* Architectures, protocols, and algorithms for wireless mesh networks
* Localization and mobility in wireless mesh networks
* Security, privacy, and trustworthiness
* Protocols exploiting novel technologies such as UWB, MIMO, directional antennas, software radios
* Wireless mesh network testbeds
