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
