SUMMARY:Issues In Wireless Mesh Networks
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dharma P. Agrawal\nDepartment of Computer Science and 
 Engineering\nUniversity of Cincinnati\nUnited States of America\n\nAbstrac
 t: \nMesh networks have become increasingly important because they can be 
 easily implemented without much infrastructure and can support adequate ba
 ndwidth with a flexible multi-hop wireless communication among their route
 rs serving the clients. This talk provides an overview of the design of Wi
 reless Mesh Networks (WMNs) and identifies various characteristics. Proble
 ms such as route determination\, channel allocation\, load-balancing\, etc
 . will be described to have a clear understanding of the mesh technology. 
 Issues such as selfishness and its impact on the performance will be discu
 ssed.  Useful research directions will also be clearly identified. Future 
 widespread deployment of the WMN seems quite promising\, even though secur
 ity and scalability questions still remain real bottlenecks. \n\nBio: Dhar
 ma P. Agrawal is the Ohio Board of Regents Distinguished Professor of Comp
 uter Science and the founding director for the Center for Distributed and 
 Mobile Computing in the Department of Computer Science. During autumn 2006
  and winter 2007\, he was on sabbatical leave as a Visiting Professor of E
 CE at the Carnegie Mellon University. He has been a faculty member at the 
 N.C. State University\, Raleigh and the Wayne State University.  His curre
 nt research interests include resource allocation in wireless mesh network
 s\, query processing and secured communication in sensor networks\, enviro
 nmental monitoring using sensor networks\, and effective traffic handling 
 in integrated wireless networks\, and use of smart directional antennas fo
 r enhanced QoS. At UC\, he has led implementation of two different test-be
 ds: one for Sensor Network for monitoring CO around the UC campus and seco
 nd 26 nodes Wireless Mesh Network in 8th floor of 3 Engineering buildings 
 at UC. He has also collaborated with College of Conservatory Music to demo
 nstrate use of sensors in automatically generating music based on dancers
 ’ movement and physical location in the studio. He has co-authored 
 a textbook entitled Introduction to Wireless and Mobile Systems published 
 by Brooks/Cole\, and has been adopted through the world and has been repri
 nted in both China and India as well as translated in both Korean and Chin
 ese languages. His second co-authored book Ad hoc and Sensor Networks- The
 ory and Applications published by World Scientific in spring 2006 has been
  named as the best seller. A new co-edited book entitled\, Encyclopedia on
  Ad Hoc and Ubiquitous Computing\, is being published by the World Scienti
 fic in early 2009. He is an editor for the Journal of Parallel and Distrib
 uted Systems\, founding Editorial Board/Advisory Member\, International Jo
 urnal on Distributed Sensor Networks\, International Journal of Ad Hoc and
  Ubiquitous Computing (IJAHUC)\, International Journal of Ad Hoc & Sensor 
 Wireless Networks\, and the Journal of Information Assurance and Security 
 (JIAS)\, and International Journal of Communications\, Network and System 
 Sciences (IJCNS).  He has served as an editor of the IEEE Computer magazin
 e\, and the IEEE Transactions on Computers and the International Journal o
 f High Speed Computing.  He has been the Program Chair and General Chair f
 or numerous international conferences and meetings.  He has received numer
 ous certificates from the IEEE Computer Society.  He was awarded a “
 Third Millennium Medal\,” by the IEEE for his outstanding contributi
 ons.  He has also delivered keynote speech for 20 international conference
 s.  He has published over 550 papers\, given 27 different tutorials and ex
 tensive training courses in various conferences in USA\, and numerous inst
 itutions in Taiwan\, Korea\, Jordan\, UAE\, Malaysia\, and India in the ar
 eas of Ad hoc and Sensor Networks and Mesh Networks\, including security i
 ssues. He has graduated 56 PhDs and 39 MS students.  He has been named as 
 an ISI Highly Cited Researcher and is a Fellow of the IEEE\, the ACM\, the
  AAAS and the World Innovation Foundation.  Recently\, he won the IEEE-CS 
 2008 Harry H. Goode Memorial award.\n
