Hi Liunian Bian,

unfortunately we don't have a good way to cite batman-adv in a paper. What 
most people did is to cite the 2008 IETF draft (which is actually not supposed 
be cited) or refer to our website www.open-mesh.org/. Perhaps the best way is 
to cite both, referring to the website for up-to-date documentation.

Cheers,
