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
