ONDM 2002
The Sixth IFIP Working Conference on Optical Network Design and Modelling
http://www.tlc-networks.polito.it/ONDM02
Torino, Italy, February 4-6, 2002
Call for Papers
===============
Optical networks are leaving the labs and becoming a reality. High
capacity links are required by the increasing Internet traffic demand. WDM
systems are widely deployed, thanks to low-cost and high reliability of
optical components, such as optical amplifiers and fixed/tunable filters
and transceivers. Access and metropolitan area networks are increasingly
based on optical technologies to overcome the electronic bottleneck at
network edge. Traditional multi-layer architecture, such as the widely
deployed IP/ATM/SDH protocol stack, are already based on WDM transport;
increasing efforts are sought to move at the optical layer some of the
functionalities available today in higher layers. New components and
subsystems for very high speed optical networks offer new design options
to network operators and designers.
The Sixth Working Conference on Optical Network Design and Modelling, aims
at presenting high-quality recent research results in optical network
architectures, design, operation, management and planning. In the
tradition of the previous conferences (Vienna'01,Athens'00, Paris'99,
Rome'98 and Vienna'97), we will bring in Torino university researchers,
network operators and manufacturers, to discuss and disseminate optical
network design and modelling tecniques.
Contributions are invited on all topics concerning optical networks, including:
WDM networks, systems and components
OTDM networks, systems and components
Optical packet switching
Optical networks performance modelling
QoS issues in optical networks
Routing and wavelength assignment algorithms
Physical and logical network topologies
All-optical access networks
MAC protocols and fairness control in optical LANs and MANs
High speed optical LANs and gigabit networks
Field-trials and experiments
New services over optical networks
WDM inter-working with IP, ATM and SDH networks
Inter-working between optical and wireless networks
Multi-layer design of optical networks
Optical network planning, design and modelling
Optical networks protection, restoration and reconfiguration
Self-healing SDH loops
Signalling for all-optical networks
Optical network management
Measurement, monitoring, and supervision techniques
Novel architectures for photonic switches and wavelength routers
Optical switches and optical cross-connects
Optical interfaces and optical terminals
Soliton-based networks
Optical integrated circuits

Author guidelines
=================
High-quality original papers are solicited. Papers must be unpublished and
must not be submitted for publication elsewhere. All papers will be
reviewed by Technical Program Committee members and other experts active
in the field to ensure high quality and relevance. Authors of accepted
papers must attend the conference to present their contributions. The
conference proceedings will be published by Kluwer Academic Publishers.
Please refer to Kluwer guidelines (http://www.wkap.nl/) for paper style.
Submitted papers have to be in Kluwer format. Paper length should be
between 8 and 20 pages in Kluwer format. Papers must be submitted
electronically by sending compressed files (either Postscript or PDF; no
other formats, please) by email to ONDM02.Workshop@mail.tlc.polito.it.
Please note that email messages larger than 2 MB cannot be accepted by the
mail server. Each submission must be accompanied by the following
information: a short abstract, a complete list of authors and their
affiliations, a contact person for correspondence, postal and e-mail
addresses
