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

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.
