==Colloquium: Research in mesh networks and other ad-hoc networks - Charles Perkins==

Charles Perkins, “the father of mobile IP technology” and Nokia Fellow, visited the Meraka Institute on the 11th of September to present on research around mesh networking and other ad-hoc networks. The aim of the presentation was to:
# to present recent areas of research on ad hoc wireless networks.
# Generate interest in Wireless Africa's access and mesh networking research

About 40 persons from the telecommunications industry and around 10 people from academia attended the conference. One don even drove all the way from Eastern Cape just to attend the presentation. His presentation is an excellent summary of current research issues in ad-hoc and mesh networking protocols. Interesting linkages with social networking were also highlighted.

Force (IETF), and is author or co-author of standards-track documents in the mip4, mip6,
manet, dhc, mipshop, seamoby (Seamless Mobility) and autoconf working groups. Charles has
served as program committee co-chair for MobiHoc 2004, on the Internet Architecture Board
(IAB) of the IETF and on various committees for the National Research Council.
More recently he has served as Program Chair for the IEEE Vehicular Technology conference
networking track. He currently serves as General Chair for IEEE Mobile Ad hoc and Sensor
Systems conference (MASS 2006). He is also associate editor for Mobile Communications and
Computing Review, the official publication of ACM SIGMOBILE, and has served on the editorial
staff for IEEE Internet Computing magazine.
Charles has authored and edited books on Mobile IP and Ad Hoc Networking. He has published
a number of papers and award winning articles in the areas of mobile networking, ad-hoc
networking, route optimization for mobile networking, resource discovery, and automatic
configuration for mobile computers.
Charles holds a B.A. in mathematics and a M.E.E. degree from Rice University, and a M.A. in
Mathematics from Columbia University, has nine patents and five pending patent applications.
He won several IBM Invention Achievement Awards and a Service Award for contributions to the
