Free Wireless Articles via IEEE
Just a quick post today since I’m strapped for time, but thought its pretty useful (and almost a reminder to myself to check this out later). The IEEE has put a bunch of articles related to wireless networks written by leaders in the field up for free for a limited time.

(I know this doesn’t benefit me directly since I already belong to those societies and could probably get access to them through my libraries, but they seem interesting enough and I will likely read at least a few the next chance I get). It’s also helpful for those people who don’t necessarily have normal access to IEEE articles a chance to try them out. Topics include Pervasive Computing, Internet Computing, Security, RFIDs and more. Check it out if you get a chance!

University of Guelph Research Day - Winter ‘08
On December 2nd and 4th 2008, Research Day for the Computer Science Department at the University of Guelph is taking place. Research Day is a day where many of the graduate and some undergraduate students present research projects in various stages. For the graduate students the projects consist of initial results and proposals for thesis documents while the undergrads present results from their research projects.

PerWin Research Group @ the University of Guelph
Today I completed the listing page for all of the presentations our research group PerWin at the University of Guelph has made in the last year or so. PerWin stands for Pervasive Computing and Wireless Networking Research. The group is directed by my advisor, Dr. Mieso Denko and has several graduate students who are active research members in the group. We have given presentations on topics ranging from Wireless Mesh Networks protocols, Autonomous networks, Fair Scheduling, Load Balancing, RFID, Wireless Security and much more. We have also had special invited talks by several faculty members from various Universities around Ontario (Ryerson, UOIT).

Guest Article: 5 Blogs and Sites for All Things Wireless
I recently received a request for a guest contribution to the blog from Kelly Kilpatrick so I thought it would be a nice change to have some content from someone other than me. The article is a compilation of some good sites for the latest on wireless technology and news.

Fair Scheduling for Wireless Mesh Networks with Multiple Gateways - AINA’09 Submission
Introduction
After quite a bit of work on my M.Sc. degree I am beginning to get some initial results that I hope to use in my thesis. My work seems to be headed in the direction of fair scheduling and load balancing in Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN). For more information on why addressing these issues are important and a PowerPoint presentation see my previous post, “Fair Scheduling & Load Balancing in WMN“. Basically, the aim of my work right now is to try to find a fair scheduling such that throughput and fairness are balanced. See the Venn-Diagram I have created below for an idea of where existing solutions fit into this. My solution would ideally fall right in the intersection of the two circles.
