In recent years we have witnessed a rapid adoption of local and wide area wireless technologies like ZigBee, 802.11n, WiMAX and 3G which is making the edge of the Internet increasingly wireless.  To better understand the nature of the edge, it is important to evaluate these technologies in an operational environment via empirical measurements. While analytic simulation-based approaches are useful, they are often limited by the simplistic modeling of the wireless protocols and the error-prone wireless channel.  In this workshop we would like to solicit  short 6-page papers that advance the understanding of operational wireless networks through measurements in testbeds or the field.  Topic of interest are, but not limited to: 

• operational experience of the performance of wireless networks
• challenges with wireless measurements
• experimental (in) validation of assumptions in a wireless environment
• metrics that would be required in a wireless network for performance evaluation or wireless network troubleshooting
• experience from building/designing wireless networks
• descriptions of tools for building and/or managing wireless testbeds (e.g. wireless link emulation)
• techniques for scaling testbed
• techniques for improving the repeatability of tests
• techniques for validating the results obtained in the wireless testbed
• methods for simplifying experiment setup and reconfiguration
• methods to study mobility patterns

Paper submissions will be handled electronically via EasyChair. Authors should prepare a PDF or a PostScript version of their full paper. Papers must be no longer than 6 double-column pages, font size not smaller than 11 points, using the standard IEEE format.

The workshop proceedings will be listed in the IEEEXplore and IEEE digital library.
