> INTRODUCTION
> ----------------------------
> Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have attracted a lot of 
> interest from both
> academia and industries in the past few years, due to the challenging
> research problems they pose and the new possibilities they open to
> deploy large-scale wireless networks. Wireless mesh routers 
> have limited
> (if any) mobility, are usually connected to power supply and route
> packets along multi-hop wireless paths. If equipped with the necessary
> gateway and bridging functionalities, mesh routers enable the
> integration of wireless mesh networks with other networks such as the
> Internet, cellular, IEEE 802.15, IEEE 802.16, sensor networks, etc..
> Wireless mesh networks are attractive for several applications, e.g.,
> wireless last mile access of ISPs, wireless enterprise backbone
> networks, building automation, broadband home networking, intelligent
> transportation systems, community or neighborhood networks, etc. The
> main reason is the low cost of devices and the easiness of deployment
> and maintenance due to the absence of a wired infrastructure.
> 
> WMNs are now in a stage where more practical aspects need to be
> investigated, so as to drive a stronger market penetration in the
> context of medium- and large-scale wireless networks and to enable the
> use of new applications and services in existing networks. 
> Such aspects
> involve standardization and regulation aspects, which are the 
> basis for
> mass production and allow the inter-operability of devices from
> different manufacturers and, hence, stimulate market competition, as
> well as business models and realistic use cases, so as to make the
> technology appealing for public institutions and private companies.
> Furthermore, results from real-life experiments are required 
> to validate
> the mathematical models and the simulations tools, available 
> in bundance
> nowadays, and provide them with adjustments to refine their 
> accuracy and
> extend their scope.
