December 9, 2013: Workshop date

-----
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
* Co-located with IEEE GlobeCom 2013 in Atlanta
* 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.
