CFP: special Issue of Optical Networks Magazine on Routing and Control in Optical Networks




Researchers in Optical Networks are cordially invited to submit their 
research work to the Special Issue of Optical Networks Magazine. The
call 
for papers is as follows. More details of this call can be found 
at  http://optical-networks.com/cfp_sengupta.html and other calls for 
papers for special issues on related topics appear in

Special Issue: Call for Papers

Routing and Control in Optical Networks
Optical networks with wavelength division 
multiplexing (WDM) are perhaps a viable solution (if not 
the only solution) to cope with the ever-increasing 
demand of bandwidth on the Internet. With today's 
technological developments in optical systems, WDM scheme 
allows terabit data rates to be supported on a 
single fiber. Exploitation of WDM in wavelength routing 
has motivated researchers in recent years to investigate 
all-optical networks as a high-speed infrastructure. 
With the availability of high-speed terabit 
electronic routers, multihop optical networks are also expected 
to provide a similar high-speed architecture.

To reflect and archive the recent 
developments for this class of network architecture, this special 
issue aims to consolidate and disseminate leading research 
results in the area of routing and control of optical 
networks.

Original research papers are solicited in, 
but not limited to, the following areas:

Static and dynamic routing in optical network
Channel assignment and routing in context of IP
and/or MPLS protocols
Fault management issues
Routing with wavelength conversion
Traffic modeling and efficient routing schemes
Multihop routing protocols
Fault management for multihop routing

Original, unpublished contributions and 
invited articles
                               will be considered for this special
issue. 
We plan to use
                               electronic submission of papers 
(Postscript). To submit a
                               paper for consideration, authors should
send the
                               following information to the guest
editors 
via email:

                                 1.Title, Abstract of the paper, and
list 
of authors.
                                 2.Indicate which author is to serve as
the 
primary
                                    correspondence contact.
                                 3.Please list affiliation, mailing 
address, phone/fax
                                    numbers, and email address of the 
correspondence
                                    author. The correspondence author
will 
then be
                                    provided with instructions to upload 
the paper at a
                                    website. The article should be 
formatted to print
                                    on either Letter (8.5"x11") or A4 
format paper. The
                                    article should be no longer than 20 
double-spaced
                                    pages, excluding illustrations and
graphs.
