Competition and difficult market conditions over the last year has forced
the optics industry to become most streamlined and very efficient in
providing the growing demands for bandwidth and optical network 
deployment.
Optical communications technology has secured its place in the core of the
Internet. In the last few years, the revolutions in optical devices and
material technology, which brought down the cost of optics to an acceptable
level, has made multiplexing and switching of data using dense wavelength
division multiplexing (DWDM) commercially and technically viable in the
transport networks. The use of optical techniques in MANs and LANs, are
following suit and the use of optics will continue to increase in order to
meet the throughput requirements. This Symposium stresses major 
advancements
in Optical Networking which include Switching and Routing, QoS requirements
of optical switch architectures and networks, optical network management,
LAMBDA-MPLS, lightpath signaling and routing, traffic modeling and control,
and traffic and capacity management functions.
This Symposium is intended to provide a timely forum for exploratory
research and practical contributions from all around the world in the area
of optical networking. The objective of this event is to foster the 
exchange
of information among researchers in this fast-moving field. The program 
will
include presentations by distinguished researchers, speaking on recent
advances in theory and practice of optical networking. This symposium also
intends to bring together various optical network systems developers to
discuss the current status, technical challenges, standards, fundamental
issues, and future services and applications in the form of workshops,
business applications, sessions and tutorials.

The general scope of the series includes, but is not limited to, the
following:

Enabling technologies and their applications in optical networks; topics
include
increased spectral efficiency
tunable lasers
impact of new transmission technologies (40G vs 10G, WDM vs TDM, switches)
Routing and wavelength assignment
Optical switching
Optical access networks
Network survivability and fault management
Network design and reconfiguration
Quality of service and scheduling
Traffic grooming in optical networks
Traffic engineering in IP optical networks
