                     CALL FOR PAPERS

       IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications

         WDM-BASED NETWORK ARCHITECTURES

Recent developments in Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM)
technology have led to a tremendous amount of commercial and research
interest in WDM-based networks. WDM has been used primarily for
point-to-point long haul transmission. However, with the emergence of
WDM networking components, people are beginning to design and deploy
WDM-based networks that take advantage of the flexiblity and
configurability of these components. For the first time since the emergence
of this field, research in this area has found commercial applications. 

The scope of this issue is to address WDM networking research that can
have an impact on the way WDM networks will be designed and deployed
over the next several years. In particular we are interested in papers
dealing with the design of multi-hop WDM networks for access,
metropolitan or wide area applications. In this context, topics of interest are
in the area of WDM network architectures including: 

      Topology design 
      Protection and restoration 
      Reconfiguration of WDM networks 
      IP over WDM networks 
      Broadband WDM access networks 
      Quality-of-service provisioning 
      WDM multicast services 
      Traffic engineering 
      WDM network management 
      Experimental test-beds 

Original, unpublished contributions and invited articles will be considered
for the issue. The paper should be no longer than 20 double-spaced pages,
excluding illustrations and graphs. Authors wishing to submit papers should
send an electronic version (postscript or PDF files ONLY) to one of the
following Guest Editors by February 15, 2001.
