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, groo!

 ming, 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.
