                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Original, unpublished contributions and invited articles will be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
