 Dear colleagues,

Please find the attached CFP for the International Workshop on Optical 
Networking (iWON 2013, http://cs.gsu.edu/cao/iwon).   

iWON'13 will be held in the same city (i.e.,  Downtown Atlanta) and time as 
IEEE GLOBECOM'13 (however, it is NOT a part of Globecom'13.) Submission 
deadline is August 2, 2013. Workshop date is December 9th. 

We thank the sponsors: Huawei Enterprise USA Inc. and Georgia State University.

Please consider submitting to this workshop, whose main focus is on the latest 
cutting-edge research of optical networking. A few features of the workshop are 
as follows:

- Invited talks by high-profile leaders 
- 2-page extended abstract or position paper only
- No registration fee 
- Free breakfast, lunch and (possible) dinner for the registered attendees


Regards,

Workshop Chair: Xiaojun (Matt) Cao

International Workshop on Optical Networking (iWON 2013) 
Downtown Atlanta - Rialto Center, Dec. 9, 2013

Note: even though iWON'13 will be held in the same city (i.e.,  Downtown 
Atlanta) as IEEE GLOBECOM'13, it is NOT a part of Globecom'13.

Scope
-----
The latest developments in big data, cloud computing and data center have 
ignited the significant amount of interests in optical networking from 
academia, industry, and standardization organizations. Optical networking has 
become the pervasive and indispensable technology for high-speed data 
communications in Internet and cyber-physical systems (CPS). One of the 
paramount challenges that come along with such wide-scale deployment of optical 
technologies, is how to embed more and more intelligence into the underlying 
optical networks to improve the cost-effectiveness, spectrum utilization and 
energy efficiency of the system. For instance, Orthogonal Frequency-Division 
Multiplexing (OFDM) is recently introduced to optical domain to encode signal 
on multiple carrier frequencies, which enable optical networks to offer 
elastic, adaptable and spectrum-efficient optical path services. At the same 
time, this poses novel challenges in spectrum spacing, allocation, 
fragmentation, grooming, protection, restoration and so on. Similarly, many 
issues such as connectivity, reliability and power consumption need to be 
addressed when applying optical networking technologies for intra-/inter-data 
center networks as well as cloud computing. In fact, the anticipated steady 
increase in data traffic to be carried out by optical networks will further 
magnify the demands for more studies on these challenges and issues.

This workshop aims to bring together the researchers who are interested in 
optical networking to share and discuss the latest research developments and 
innovative implementations in the design of smart optical network 
architectures, protocols, algorithms, services, and applications. With invited 
talks, in-depth (panel) discussions, and promising presentations/posters, the 
workshop will focus on exploring new venues of collaboration and increasing the 
synergy between academic and industry professionals working in this area. We 
plan to seek papers that address theoretical, experimental research, and work 
in-progress for related issues in smart optical networking that include, but 
are not limited to, the following.

* Flex-Grid networks, elastic optical networks, optical OFDM
* Optical switching technologies and architectures, optical network design and 
performance evaluation
* SDN, optical network control and management 
* Cloud computing and datacenter networks, network virtualization and other 
emerging applications
* Energy efficient/green optical technologies 
* Fiber-wireless integration, heterogeneous optical networks, and survivable 
network designs

Instructions for Authors 
-----------

Authors are invited to submit original research and recent developments in the 
topics related to the workshop. The manuscripts submitted for review should be 
in the form of a 2-page extended abstract or position paper. An accepted paper 
must be presented at the workshop by one of the authors. For the accepted 
papers, the authors have the option to upload a full version of the paper (no 
more than 6 pages) to be published in the workshop final proceedings. A few 
highlights for the workshop are as follows:

* Invited talks by high-profile leaders 
* No registration fee 
* Free breakfast, lunch and (possible) dinner for the registered attendees

-----------
Submission Instructions
-----------

All manuscripts are submitted through the online conference paper management 
system called EasyChair (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwon13). 
This system gives you, the author, a complete control over your submission 
before the deadline. You can upload your work and check on the review status of 
your submission. Submitted manuscripts must be formatted in standard IEEE 
camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font) as PDF files (formatted for 
8.5x11-inch paper). Authors are encouraged to visit the workshop website 
(http://cs.gsu.edu/cao/iwon) for more updated details.
