Advanced Technologies & Protocols for Optical Networks
Co-Chairs:

Vice Chair:
Suresh Subramaniam, George Washington University, suresh@gwu.edu
Scope:
This symposium seeks to showcase the latest developments in key open areas of optical communication networks and emergent service paradigms. In particular, one of the major themes will be on vertical and horizontal integration. For example, the former entails issues such as Ethernet-optical internetworking, SONET/SDH-DWDM multi-granularity grooming, traffic engineering, application-layer optimization, etc. Meanwhile, the latter covers topics such as multi-domain interworking and grooming, hybrid wireless-optical interworking, etc. The symposium will consist of peer-reviewed research papers as well as informative tutorials and workshop offerings from leading luminaries in the field. Moreover, broad-based participation is envisioned from academia, governmental institutions, and industry-both service providers and equipment vendors alike. Some of the key focus areas include (but are not necessarily limited to) the following:
Topics of Interest
• Routing and wavelength assignment
• Dynamic ligthpath re-routing
• Extension of the GMPLS control plane to multi-domain
• Traffic grooming and traffic engineering
• Free space optical networks
• Multicasting in optical networks
• Optical Packet Switching (OPS)
• Optical Burst Switching (OBS)
• Single layer and multi-layer protection and restoration
• Network availability evaluation
• Optical switches architecture and performance
• Point-to-multipoint optical access network architectures: PON, APON, BPON, GPON, EPON
• Traffic management/quality of service in passive optical access networks
• Optical network experiments: demonstrations, test beds and field trials
• Signaling and monitoring in optical networks
• Impact of the physical-layer impairments on optical network design and traffic engineering
• Horizontal integration: multi-area optical communications, Path Computing Element
• Vertical integration: multi-granularity switching
• Innovative and flexible passive WDM optical access network architectures
• Hybrid wireless-optical metro/access networks
• Traffic engineering for NG-SONET/SDH and MSPP
• Optical Ethernet and new service paradigms
• Layer 1 virtual private networks (L1 VPN) architectures and design
• Value analysis of different network architectures and business cases
• Optical virtual private networks
• Innovative services: grid computing, storage area networking, utility computing
• Standardization issues
