CALL FOR PAPERS

Special Issue on

"ADVANCES IN OPTICAL NETWORKS: ARCHITECTURES, PERFORMANCE AND PROTOCOLS"

To appear in INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS


The increasing bandwidth demands of new applications – such as
distributed
databases, voice and video services – have led to the use of optical
fiber
as a transmission medium. With optical networks, a new, highly promising
age
of communication appears on the horizon. The emerging new generation of
optical networks is characterized by multigigabit data rates, low
bit-error
rates and optical transparency over long distances. Over the next few
years
optical technology is expected to become the platform of choice for
providing
services that have, until today, been supported by telecommunication
voice
and data network providers. The special issue intends to attract papers
that
report advances in:
· WDM Networks
· Broadcast-and-Select Star Networks
· Wavelength Routing
· Network Management of Optical Networks
· Optical Network Architectures
· IP and ATM over WDM
· Optical LANs and MANs
· Optical Switch Fabrics
· Optical Access Networks
· Protocols for Optical Networks
· Optical Network Design
