Fair Scheduling Conference Paper Accepted
This post is just a small update. The conference paper I have submitted to AINA 2009 with Dr. Denko on fair scheduling for wireless networks with multiple gatways has been accepted to the conference. For more details you can see my earlier post “Fair Scheduling for Wireless Mesh Networks with Multiple Gateways - AINA’09 Submission” which outlines some of the preliminary results we submitted.
The conference is in May of 2009 and its my first conference paper where I was the primary author. It is also the first conference I will actually be able to attend. More to come about the conference in the future…

Guest Article: Why WPA is no longer secure
This is second Guest Article featured on the blog. The article is a brief look at why WPA encryption in wi-fi networks is not secure any longer. Our guest blogger this week is Maya Richard. She describes how brute force attacks can be used against captured packets which have been encrypted with WPA encryption. These attacks have become increasingly practical through the use of graphics hardware which is well-suited to brute force cracking.

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).
Reynolds Building @ University of Guelph where PerWin meets regularly
Check out the schedule page here for the list of presentations, presenters and topics. There are also listings of many of the websites for the presenters which may be a good resource for people interested in our work. If you are a faculty member interested in giving a talk contact Dr. Mieso Denko at the University of Guelph.

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.
10 Applications of Wireless Networks
Wireless Networks have become very popular in recent years and research in the area is very active. It is one of my main research interests while studying for my M.Sc. in Applied Computing at the University of Guelph so I thought I would write a bit about what I think are some of the most useful or interesting applications of wireless networking both now and in the future.
